    Might be interested in PM Prime, but the rest are of no real interest

    If you have God Ginrai, why would you want this one?

    I need a Nucleon repaint! Missed out on that guy. My Ginrai and Fire Guts just haven't felt complete without him.

    I bought UM, PM, and SS when they came out in 2002 or something, it was the only wave of reissues I saw, I was told by TRU that the line was canceled and never went back to a TRU again until about a year ago... Had I seen astrotrain when I went, I would have bought him too. I gotta get this once they are up for order, I can't do pre-order...

    Also, if they 3 I bought were this price then, I would have never bought them..

    You can? Where? I don't see one. I'd much rather get one cheaper. Unless it didn't come with God/Apex Bomber.

    Nucleon Quest is a TRU Japan exclusive,hence don't think they will reissue that.

    Astrotrain, like Sideswipe, never saw a TRU shelf. The former went to HTS and the latter to KB about 2 years after the line ended.

    Waiting for RK to list these. Their prices on Prime and Soundwave are much better than BBTS, so I assume it will be the same for these 3, as well.

    what people fail to realize these reissues are for the hasbro asia market, that's why they are costing so much

    the same thing happened to reissue soundwave and rodimus prime a while back

    Only because TRU had dropped the line by that point. Also the reason why Side Swipe ended up as a KB Toys exclusive in the USA (he was released as a TRU exclusive in Canada and Australia).

    But that's not Ginrai, that's Apex Prime, silly. It's completely different!

    Yes, I spend money on toys I already own, because REISSUE!

    The only difference apart from the packaging is that PM Prime has obnoxiously long missiles for safety reasons.

    Have you ever actually seen PM Prime, God Ginrai, or Apex Prime? There's a grand total of one missle and most of its length resides in the gun barrel.

    So I'm guessing these won't be released at TRU. I doubt i'd buy them unless they were TRU exclusives.
