Encore Cassettes?

Deceptigtar · 07-23-2008, 10:22 AM

So we have seen the encore minibots, would anyone be interested if they did encore cassettes for blaster and soundwave? i think it would be cool if they did seperate boxes, one for blaster and one for soundwave. i would enjoy that. maybe 6 cassettes to each or all the tapes each one had.

thoughts?

If it was the 4 Japanese Dino Cassettes yes. Otherwise I already have vintage ones in fairly decent shape.

I'd love that. For Soundwave I'd like to see:
Rumble
Frenzy
Ravage
Laserbeak
Buzzsaw
Ratbat
and for Blaster:
Rewind
Eject
Ramhorn
Steeljaw
Grand Slam
Raindance

I suspect something happened to a lot of the cassette molds because Takara and Hasbro KNOW they would make a killing releasing those, especially ones like Rumble, Frenzy and Ratbat, so it seems like they would have released them by now.

But yeah, I'd buy any cassettes they put out.

But not everyone does.

That's a silly reason. "I already have it, so there's no point in making it available to anyone else at a cheaper price."

Aren't you putting a lot of words in his mouth? Isn't he just saying what he, himself, would or would not be interested in? Where does he say he wants to deprive others of them?

I would love it. The 'con cassettes were basically the bad guy's equal of mini-bots, so why not?

I would like to see Rumble, Frenzy, Buzzsaw, Ravage, Ratbat and Lazerbeak. Though the last one may be left out since Encore Soundwave came with him. (or was it Buzzsaw?) I don't see them doing the Autobot cassettes right away, (if tehy did the 'cons first) but if they did it wouldn't be a bad thing.

Sorry. It sounded like he was saying they shouldn't be made.

Enough people put words in my mouth with every breath I take. I should be allowed one mistake...

Isn't this 50% of the argument against _all_ G1 reissues, official and otherwise?

Yeah it sure seems that Laserbeak/Buzzsaw, Eject/Rewind, Ravage, and Steeljaw are the only usable ones they have. And I'd buy an Encore cassetterons pack for sure.

Also wish that they'd make legends/mini-con class cassettes for universe.
