    They have Hot Rod, Starscream and the minibots.
    Maybe they got great connections?

    Anyone know if they are also doing anniversary releases in Japan in g1 packaging? The cassette's came single packaged so they would be different & yet highly collectible.

    They've never been reissued in that style sadly, I would want at least a couple of them. Love me some old, tiny, individually boxed Japanese robot toys.

    I’m happy to see these reissued! I had the Frenzy/Ratbat set as a kid and always wanted Laserbeak. Plus, my original Frenzy is trashed. His spring is missing so his head won’t stay up, and his stickers are all peeling up at the edges. I’ll be willing to step foot into a Wal*Mart for these.

    And for me, cartoon Rumble is blue but G1 toy Frenzy is the blue one. For Masterpiece though, I think of Rumble as the blue one. :D

    Yeah I find it very odd they started out with the boxed releases, then went to single cards, then back to Boxes(that aren't even the same size as the first boxes) again.

    Another querk that occurred in Japan - several of these were issued multiple times in each format, each release has a different ID number associated with them. For example: Frenzy - 18 (1985) - boxed, D-58 (1986) - carded, D-103 (1987) - boxed. obtaining all the variations has been a quest of mine for decades. I'm down to missing only 3 of them :D

    Too bad it'll probably be tricky finding these in stock. It'd be fun to buy multiples and customize stickers to become different albums.

    It shouldn't be too bad. Hasbro will find a way to get them in our hands.
