Okay, I'm aware of the Encore, TRU Commemorative, and the Transformers Collection series. However, what reissue series had Six Shot and Predaking in it? JAPANESE TRANSFORMERS D-78 PREDAKING REISSUE MISB - eBay (item 220297465528 end time Oct-28-08 23:28:25 PDT) What was this series called, and what other characters were released in it?
I believe they were just standard reissues that came out at the same time as the TFC series, but had characters that wouldn't fit in the TFC box. The only others I can think of off the top of my head that came out like that were Purple Galvatron, G2 Laser Optimus Prime, and Star Convoy.
Sixshot reissue was a little before TFC, Circa 2001. Predaking was (IIRC) a new year special.. Late 2004 (could be wrong on the date)
The first reissues came out in 2000-2002 if not misstaken. They all came in their original boxes. And most hade a exclusiv or a LD. Megatron (known as 16-S) was also maed into a black repaint that is beeing reissued now) Optimus (has a gold mark stamp on the window. Same box and fig made into Jafcon Prime) Hot Rod. ( clear and black hot rod was made as exclusiv) Rodimus Prime ( hade a LD if I remember correctly, black colored) Sixshoót. ( hade two LD, Black and Clear Sixshoot Ultra Magnus ( got the Shinning (yellow) and Diaclone (blue) colored exclusiv.) After these reissus they started with the official TFC with Jazz as 1 and so on. They also hade a few NY reissus as they are called, and regulr reissus that werent in the TFC NY Optimus comes with Matrix, AM Prime, same design box as the first one but with an extended window and place for AM Prime Star Convoy, ( no exclusiv made as far as I know) Galvatron ( anime colors and a e-hobby version made, nex box art) Predaking ( giftset version, no exclusiv, metal versions, NY special) Hope this helps.
i have the reissue sixshot...cost were more than i wanted to pay...but all and all i am damned happy that i picked the guy up since i missed him the first time around....
Cool checklist! I've been using the one on bigbot.com but I may have to switch over to this one! I have both Sixshot and Predaking reissues and as previously mentioned here they did indeed come out around the same time as the TFC series was going on.
