    The Grinder and Sever issues are right around the corner. I'm seeing preorder listings for them pop up on Ebay now including Baba.

    My retailer buddy was told by Fanstoys that he will be invoiced for both Cyclonus and sixshot in less than 2 weeks. Basically means they both will be out in mid September

    They both will be shipping out together. Just like Grinder and Sever reissues which will be out this week

    I'm glad FT is doing this instead of spreading them apart. I guess they're trying to make up for so having very little new releases this year.

    I’m hoping we get Skullcruncher or Blurr this year as well. With the reissues finished don’t see why they can’t get something out in Q4 besides Hoodlum. Only preorders that are outstanding are Trailbreaker and Blitzwing and they’re not coming anytime soon.

    I wish they were a little cheaper. I think last time around Grinder could be grabbed for $10-20 less. I need to get Sever since I missed out last time though, so hoping for a flash sale.

    If you get it from Taobao, after shipping and card fees, Grinder will probably be about $136 shipped or less. That was the final price for my Grinder X. Sever will be about the same or a bit less. This is assuming you ae shipping to the USA via EMS.

    Do we know if these two are the first of the other three also getting reissues?

    I'm finally ready/able to start buying the set, but don't want only two while having to scramble to find the other three.

    I wouldn't wait. I suggest get what you can now while it is available. You can always sell them later if you don't want them. You never know when these two dry up by the time the others get reissued, if they get reissued.

    TRUTH. ChromeMagnus knows the story.

    You've got to start somewhere @Incepticon and FansToys has proven over and over that they care about late-to-the-game Collectors with these Reissues.

    Not to mention Fanstoys is also reissuing the G1 accurate head accessory around the same time as well. So that will drive up interest in Grinder even further. Fanstoys inventory has a history of drying up rather quickly.

    I'll chime in as well. Chrome is absolutely correct. If you wait too long for a great deal you may miss out. Save that kind of thing for bots that are always in stock versus limited runs or you may end up kicking yourself later.
