I plan on buying the Encore Minibots when they come out. I do not have a Bumblebee with the anime-accurate face. Also I like the new details they've added to some of the other minis.
Problem is, I already own vintage versions of the others.
So, should I replace the vintage figures with the Encore ones (and I don't have room to keep them all)?
What would you do in a situation like this?
I realize there are threads like this all the time.......... but I was just curious.
Also, my opinion might change when they show off the packaging... then I might just keep them MISB or MIB... then I can incorporate them in to my collection easier...
Your thoughts? New Sales: G1, Reissues, misc. action figures, Wii Games and More!!! Make offers, get stuff! |

News Credits: 13 | i dont own alot of G1, so any reissue is great for me since i can get they toy just as it was years ago without a huge sticker price. but for me if i had originals i would as taz235 said keep them seperate and not replace the G1 spot on my shelf.  | |

Won't sell the originals because of the new paint apps. I'd better transform Metroplex into city mode and dig out my Protectobots too. That's the best way to display these guys!
