    Haha! You and TFXProtector disagree on that one. But yeah, considering the mold is hard to get a hold of, this isn't bad. I'd prefer to pay $40 for the set but it is what it is.

    I got a friend going to SDCC so I'm going to see if he can pick this up for me, but the Hasbro booth is notoriously nighmare-esque so I may have to wait for the HTS release.

    There hasn't been an SDCC exclusive MP since... Erm... Guys?

    I don't think they not including one here is indicative of anything.

    Please, no one ever bring up "The mold is probably lost/destroyed/damaged" ever again when it comes to reissues.

    Takara/Hasbro can do whatever the fuck they want with old molds. They just have to want to. Whether we like it or not, most of the time they don't want to, until they get a wild bug up their ass and crank out something like these.

    Well sunovabitch. I was hoping for something maybe a little more unique, but sure, I'll bite.

    Quick reminder that Pretender Megatron(yes its funpub, but its also under Hasbro) used Grand Maximus' pretender shell, and an Encore Grand Maximus is a very likely thing to happen.

    They finally release the dino cassettes(well 2 of them anyways) after 20 years and it's a SDCC exclusive................crap. Making Saur trans orange is a bit of an odd choice but I'll be damned if I don't have a mighty want for the little bastard.

    All I can say is good luck to anybody gunning for this set. May the F5 be strong with you on that dark day.

    After horrendous quality control problems of Encore Fort Max and Takara's financial problems, yeah that ain't happening.

    If I\'ll be honest, I\'d just like that Bumblebee. If anyone just wants the cassettes, but can\'t stand another Bee, could I buy it off any of you?

    That "VOL.1" on the box is big enough and red enough for everyone I hope. So who gets packed with Noise and Graphy, and what will be the venue? Maybe NYCC in October, which has occasionally had fancy boxed TF exclusives and which would still be before the movie comes out?

    Maybe I am remembering wrong, but I though last year we had the MP10 mold and IIRC we have had the datsuns and various seekers for a few years

    EDIT: Just checked TFwiki - we have had an MP released at SDCC for the past 5 years:
    2013: Soundwave
    2014: Grimlock
    2015: Starscream
    2016: Bumblebee
    2017: MP10
