    Me personally? Because I have multiple reissues of everything they're likely to reissue. The only draw this time is the G1 boxes and the line being distributed through GorillaMart means anything that does get stocked will be too trashed to keep boxed.

    The way they keep pounding the same dozen or so molds, some day soon they'll be just as trashed and poor poor Hasbro won't be able to afford to make new tooling ever again and will have to go on the dole or learn2code.

    I doubt that is an actual reissue. I have noticed over the past year or so BBTS does this for many items (preorder listings) that NO other place gets. I assume this is stock that they are getting from some distributor that they are reselling

    Entirely possible. Either way, it's still too soon for him to be getting even another G1 release over Skywarp. Now if the poll were for an MP Blaster vs G1 Skywarp, that'd be different. :)

    Oh they're interested, just after all of the early '00s reissues, Commemorative editions, white box collections, Encores, and Platinum reissues they're probably just dismayed that as soon as they see Blaster here in his retro G1 box they'll be obligated to buy him once again.

    Then there are some others who just want something completely new like reissues of the Headmasters. But while that would be nice, it's just not going to happen.

    A weird pick thats for sure. On one hand i really feel that since we got Starscream, but Thundercracker didnt make the cut last round, i feel a majority of people who would want skywarp would want all three seekers or none. im not saying people dont buy one skywarp or thundercracker, but because of how self contained he feels (if he has all of his cassettes),Blaster just makes more sense to me as a pick

    Oh please let Skywarp win this! So many comments on fb that are pro SW, yet he's less than half below Blaster in votes.

    C'mon, let's complete the seekers! ....again, lol.

    The original packaging style is making all difference for me. Heck, I'd even rebuy the often reissued Insecticons if they put thwlem back in their 80s boxes, no word of a lie!

    While I am not apposed to Skywarp reissued again, I already got the reissue from years back. Never got the Blaster and I always wanted him. If we get Blaster we might even get his minions just like Soundwave.

    Why couldn't we have gotten something like G1 Bruticus vs G1 Superion or G1 Prowl vs G1 Blitzwing?

    How about a Blaster, and a couple of Dinocassettes two-packs!

    Real blue Bluestreak. Not that stupid blue Prowl that everyone from Takara to NewAge tries to pass off.

    Poor Skywarp, he keeps trying, but he has no chance whatsoever. "Okay Skywarp, maybe you'll win the 2021 Walmart reissue poll. Your opponent is G1 Megatron."

    I was considering getting the Encore Twincast, but now I'm not certain which one I want. Probably both, sigh.

    Eh, I bought the Encore Twincast set and have a reissue Skywarp from like 2005 or so. Why can't it be Monstructor?

    I love Skywarp and I would vote for him if it were up to me. :)
