    As someone mentioned the Phoenix reissue last month basically ignored all prior trends. It was announced April or May and then hit in June.

    As for causing delays that comes down to are they forcing this in, or did a gap open due to something unrelated causing a delay and they decided to use this to fill the gap.

    Isn't it likely the Phoenix reissue came about due to the production of the "x" variant? As in they ran more of the standard deco at the same time because it is easy/convenient which is why that reissue bucked normal trends?

    That is a very reasonable assumption to make, there is just too little information to state definitively.

    I never asked for it because I didn't think it would happen, but I am glad to have the chance to buy this figure at retail when I can set aside money in my budget for it.

    So we can expect at least 2 more repaints of Cyclonus?

    Yeah like I can see how this is probably the more correct colour scheme but I really like what I have already. Honestly, I’d rather they go with an extremely different, made up colour scheme (like an Autobot Cyclonus colour scheme) rather than one that is only slightly different than what has already been done.

    People made specific lists with specific dates that have it next. I thought they were just assuming. I didn't realize that some stores had it up for pre-order already though.

    On Feb 6th I asked: Will FT-10 be reissued around the same time that FT-10X is released?
    On Feb 8th Fans Toys responded: "Nope"

    I wasn't expecting an FT-10 reissue and at least in February, I don't think Fans Toys was either. Things are apparently very fluid in the world of toy robots, and they reissued FT-10 in June anyway.

    My best guess is that enough retailers who couldn't get sufficient FT-10X stock requested a FT-10 reissue... which quickly sold out as well.

    I may start adding notes w/regard to the amount of time it takes for the bigger US retailers to sell out. FT-10X went in hours, FT-10 sold out in a short amount of time, FT-31A Road King is sold out, and Maverick will likely sell out.

    EDIT: Note the first paragraph below is just me speculating, very possibly overthinking things.

    Technically just because they don't intend to release the reissue does not necessarily mean it won't be produced at the same time. It would require sitting on the completed product for the reissue for a while, but if factory time might be a problem it could be worth it. Have something to ship out when the factory bumps you from their schedule for a larger project (for the factory). I have no idea how likely that might be. Of course if that is the case it is possible they made these 29T figures last fall when them made the original run and have been waiting to release it when the factory was too busy to produce something new. I would be inclined to think that isn't the case, but it isn't impossible either.

    After Roadking sold out stores were able to get more, which are now sold out as well. That may be something else worth noting.

    This situation is hilarious....why the butthurt, TT does this all the time?

    Maybe it's FT's closeness with fans here which given them illusions of the grandeur that they may be friends and need full disclosure on everything FT does! Wrong, they don't owe you anything, they are a business and that's that. It would be a different matter if they showed off a final version of a product in pictures and the product in-hand didn't matchup, but in this case it should be considered as just a repaint.....something TT does....which most of us accept, like it or not!

    Don't forget the email confirmation that says: "Breakdown is next".

    How true. Some people like to act as if they are "buddies" with people. From dalianjj, ibot, and there's also this guy that didn't believe me when I said there would be 3 TFCons this year. His reply to me was "I am friends with the organizers so I should know." Well that's one friendship broken there. Next people will expect their friends to tell them if a company will have blockbuster earnings. You know what that is? It's called insider trading. You get caught you go to prison.

    OK. Purple is sorta more reddish. Whites are sorta more pinkish.
    Barely any difference really. I'm good with my first one because I just do not want the white parts pinkish.
    But if this was something truly different, like a deeper darker purple, and no pink or red purple parts, closer to toy colors, I'd be all over it.
    Happy for those that want it.

    Very excited this is coming out again, especially considering I just paid the late tax on Sovereign and was considering doing the same for this one.

    I've been told by numerous FT professors that these repaints have zero chance of happening...

    To be fair with this announcement FT has literally doubled their post-Dinobot repaint count from 2 at the end of 2018 to 4 now.

    I like Cyclonus and this mold enough I'd consider double dipping. Whether it's for the scene in the movie where there's two or one for jet (which I adore) and one for robot, either reason would be a fine justification.
