    Source? Don't doubt that it's real, the packaging seems legit, but just want to make sure.

    WalMart BW reissues are really getting into "Let's see what old molds I can find in the back... Hey, this one was being used to prop open the door!" territory now. :) 

    How about a reissue of the original Bat Primal & Croc Megatron 2-pack? They're already about 35% of the way there If they're doing Iguanus.:)

    If they ever rereleased that 2-Pack I would buy that in a heartbeat! They were 2 of the very first Beast Wars figures I ever had, and I would LOVE to have them again!

    Glowing hand of death!

    I wonder if he'll be priced as a Deluxe, like Rattrap was.

    Terrorsaur is priced like a Deluxe as well, so I’m assuming it’ll be the norm.

    Hm. It's a bit grubby on Hasbro's part.

    Good to see ol' Frills getting a reissue though.

    I suspect that jacking up the prices on the the basics is a way to offset the cost of the deluxes.

    Having a look at the Big W website, Legacy and Vintage Beast Wars Deluxes are all $39 here in Oz.

    Given there aren't any design costs associated with the Vintage Beast Wars figures, I'd say $39 is more than covering there costs, with no offset necessary.

    I hope I can get my hand on this, I want two, Iguanus was (to my recollection at least) my very first Transformer.

    Wonder if this is why they went with Iguanus of all guys for the first round of Legacy Core figures. Re-establish the name with younger audiences.

    This has been the most tempting vintage reissue. The two I will buy hands down will be Predacon Insecticon and Razorbeast

    At this point, if we don\'t get a vintage 2 pack of optimus primal(bat) and megatron(alligator) I will be EXTREMELY disappointed in this line. Kudos if they included that little comic the originals came with

    Well, if they're not doing an update... might as well get the OG. Glad I'll have the opportunity. Will probably wait for a sale if they price it as a Deluxe, though. Sorry Iguanus, it's not you it's Hasbro/Walmart.

    Iguanus moment! Have the original so I\'m not sure I\'ll get it. If it\'s different will.
