    I would by a MP version of Safety Megatron in a heartbeat. You hear me, Takara?

    Of course it isn't. Where are they going to find a stash of 30 year old vintage G1 boxes lying around.

    Looks like it's been pulled :-( Not the only tweak to a listing overnight either......

    No, they sent an e-mail yesterday that the pre-order will be re-opened upon further notification.

    My order is already on their record and it's still valid.

    Not necessarily. I found the POTP Moonracer listing months early and it was deactivated for awhile too.

    No, usually this happens when a retailer opens up preorders before Hasbro wanted them to, Hasbro notices, them emails them basically telling them "TAKE IT DOWN." Then the listing disappears for a while until the actual preorder street date hits, then they open again.

    Why would it be the only legitimate place to preorder?

    If the pictured box is accurate, I'm in for any reissues released this way. I display my retro figures in-box so G1 style packaging is very important for me, and is why I've passed on all the other reissue releases.

    I'm a MISB collecter so packaging is important to me too. I miss the old style art work I hope they bring it back or even give us new stuff.

    LOL!! Ok. Well "that fake shit", more often than not, comes from the same factory, using the same molds, as the authentic versions. AND they keep making "that fake shit". So somebody must be buying them!!

    Plus, this is apparently a Walmart exclusive. Walmart sure as hell doesn't take kindly to someone else listing THEIR exclusive prematurely.

    But they sure don't have a problem leaving their exclusive stock sitting in the back to rot and never putting it out on the shelf...

    It's still not officially produced or released. Take a chill pill.

    If it weren't 30 bucks I'd be tempted to buy it.
