    Hope this is for real.......... and that the quality will be decent.


    Takara had their chance, and wasted it.

    If it's affordable I'm in. I can never have too many Dinobots.

    Dear Bootleggers,

    Listen to KA. He's a smart guy. Plus he offers sexual favors.

    I think that the bootlegs usually come from the molds that Takara makes, So this could possibly mean a Takara reissue Swoop.

    If they make it in toy colors and show colors, it's as good as bought. I'll display the toy colors one with my G1 bots and the show colors one with my Armada bots as a reformed Ravenus (as I made my own "corrupted" Ravenus some months ago). Hell, I might buy two show colors versions and resculpt the head a bit for a show-accurate G1 version.

    Shows how stupid Takara is, they had years to be first to the market. So I guess we won't see official dinobots now.

    Look at the picture of him in front of the computer keyboard. Now, if you still think he's WST sized, you must be using an Underpants Gnome's computer.

    Awesome! Very excited about this--and definitely hoping for more Dino fake reissues.

    I agree--Takara should have done this years ago. So the molds are messed up--if a bootlegger can do it and make it profitable, Tak-Tomy should stop making excuses and start re-issuing Dinos.

    I would rather buy an official one--but if Takara won't make the effort, I know where my cash is going.
