List of Takaratomy's new products

Glad the Encore series lives! But...I just saw ROTF Human Alliance Sam and Bee for sale today in Osaka, albeit at a super-specialty store and for about 7000 yen. It looks pretty good, but I'll wait for the the release date to catch up so the price comes down.

Encore Skids is real disappointing. I was hoping Encore would continue to be as daring and innovative as it seemed to be (Sky Lynx, Omega, Metroplex) and continue to give us stuff that hasn't been reissued before.

Previous Skids' reissues are common on ebay (for a decent price), so I don't know why anyone is getting excited over this.

My TFC Skids (with nicer packaging to boot) will do just fine for me.

It's better than the line ending altogether. And it's good if you prefer the retro style of the Encore packaging. No need to be disappointed. For every Omega Supreme life gives you, you also get a Hoist.

But I'm also happy with my TFC version. If I had the TRU version I'd swap it out for the Encore, to get the packaging and a spring in the missile launcher.

Who knows, maybe this version will have blue eyes like Trailbreaker and Hoist Encores do.

If this "Buster Prime" isn't some sort of discounted Power Up Prime/Prime-Jetfire Combo, rather than paying $45 ea for Leader Prime and Jetfire = $90 for one toy (or if they don't make some sort of cheaper version of the kicka$$ Prime we all saw in the movie), then Mr. Hasbro should be kicked in the teeth. I'm a grown man and I don't want to pay $90-$100 on one toy for myself, let alone parents buying for their kids. And after kicking Mr. Hasbro's teeth out, he should be given an atomic wedgie for the lame ROTF Voyager Prime they pushed out. What kind of crap was that? Before I saw the movie, and saw the ugly toy, I'm like "Oh, I guess Prime gets a new paint job and did away with the flames." Nope.

Hey Hasbro, just make a Voyager Prime and Jetfire that combine, or sell ONE single Power Up Prime for at least under $50! Pricks.

Let's be honest, THAT'S what we want (ok, Power Up Prime is what I want anyway), not 18 different versions of Bumble Bee.

We didn't know when this thread was created and most of the discussion took place, but we do now know that Buster Optimus is just the Leader with a new gun. Search for the thread for details.
