    Nightbird was a regular Legends release..lol. Anyway I digress. The point is Takara would make premium changes to their Legends releases. So thats why I remain hopeful. Lol.

    Yes. when Legends was a line Takara was doing. My point was, and thanks for noticing, was that TTMail would most likely continue in that vein of releases with either slight retools and/or premium paint apps. But you seemed to have missed that point. *eye roll*

    I’ll be shocked and disappointed if they just do “premium” versions of things they already released. God Ginrai is the only one I can think of off the top of my head. Everything else I think of are new characters. Anyone got a list? Tfwiki is outdated..

    I’m hoping for Liokaiser, Dinoking, and Buster and Hydra.

    I'd definitely also want a Fire Guts God Ginrai. That's low-hanging fruit!

    And while they're at these, I could use a Nucleon Quest repaint of the duo if the Makers don't mind? :)

    That skateboard exclusive repaint of TR Powermaster Optimus is essentially Nucleon Quest Convoy.

    So a solid black Optimus isn't a solid black Optimus? At most you'd have to use a Q-Tip and some alcohol to strip the gold pinstripes. It really is fairly close to what an actual release would be. Maybe red on the windows, but then again acrylic paint would fix that.

    needs to use the Super Ginrai version to be a legit Nucleon Quest Ginrai.

    And...I've been proven right.

    Along with WonderFest, seems that Abominus would be released under the PP banner instead of LG.
