We now have images courtesy of yizhi at tf08.net of two upcoming releases for Transformers Universe. One is an image of inside of the package of the Toys R US exclusive Insecticon reissue, and the second is an image of an upcoming Wal-Mart exclusive Powerglide in G1 colors!
You can check out both images by clicking on the thumbnail.

Yeah, I'd like to know the answer to this too.

What is the running change on Powerglide?
We already knew about the reissues being TRU exclusives.

Powerglide has a running change.
The reissues are TRU exclusive like 2006 Soundwave.

We've been told November.

Okay, enough about whether or now ppl who bought the Henkei version feel dumb or not…
Are these out at WalMarts yet? I don't want to make the trip to one, only to discover they're not available.
Anyone see these yet or know of a release date?
BB Shockwave
He's so rare, I only found him on Robotkingdom (he's down to 36.5$ there now) and Ebay. So it's not like I have many choices… and I still need Henkei Onslaught and Silverbolt.
Stop buying overseas?! Umm, I live in Hungary… And while I can find boatloads of G1 Overlords and Action Master Elites, japanese stuff never makes it to my country unless I or some other TF collector imports it from Robotkingdom or Ebay.
And both Robotkingdom and BBTS ship in such a way (marking stuff as gift BUT keeping the exact value of the package shown) that I'm certain to be taxed a huge amount – so I avoid them alltogether.

I already have the Takara reissue Insecticons and I prefer the original, realistic, deco for Universe Powerglide, so I'll pass on both of these.
Incepticon
Ah shit, I totally forgot about that one.
Baltan
Universe Starscream. I know the point you're trying to make and agree, even, but I'm just saying.
Incepticon
Yeah, because everyone is obviously claire voyant and MUST have known that even though they haven't done it with ANY Classics figures until this one, Hasbro would surely re-release an even more accurate G1 repaint than Takara's version nearly an entire year later during a time that they said we would have no Universe figures because of all focus being placed on Movie related figures. What a bunch of idiots.
You know else probably feels pretty dumb? All the people who bought original G1 toys back in the 80's. They should have clearly known that if they waited 25 years, there would obviously be better, bigger and more articulated versions released.

*Sigh* Dammit, Hasbro, quit making me waste money on one figure, only to rerelease it with more accurate paint apps!
starscream-99
Now with this one being re-released I feel like the one I bought was a waste of money.
El Rey
I also bought Henkei Powerglide from BBTS with no regrets.
Seeker24
damn you hasbro!! anyway, Powerglide looks prety sweet. I may get it if i ever find it.
Counterpunch?
Not really.
I can't feel bad about any of my purchases. I make too much money to give it a second thought really.
::gets ready to buy a 4th incarnation of this mold::

Henkei Powerglide =/= Botcon Thundercracker
They look great on the shelf together though!
Thundershot
Well, the gray one can EASILY be Hot House with the reprolabels stickers…
ams
Nope. They're different.
wildfly
Off the top of my head, Henkei Powerglide released….a little before last Xmas?
8 months is a long time in the world of Transformers.

Why would you say this? I don't feel dumb glad I got it and I plan on keeping it and I still plan on purchasing this one.
Sure if you use BBTS or something similar I paid around $48 shipped I say that because I got it with other items. He was also on sale at HLJ earlier this year. Maybe you should stop buying overseas if it's costing you that much.
