    Where did you guys find the set at these prices? Lucky eBay finds? Or just found a random set on a site online?

    That’s amazing, considering that the set originally sold (to me at least) for $35. Not to diminish the costs people have invested into finding the hard to find sets, but I do hope IF considers re-releasing for those who began collecting late.

    I scored the racing bros, Sixshot, and Overlord all for 100$. I got quite the deal for them.

    These prices are ridiculous... i saw 120 and 160 too... :/
    No one knows what IF is saying about reissues? Lot of people ask reissues, and they not evan answering these requests?

    I hit the “Like” button because it’s true, but I do wish IF would reissue their figures. I’d rather pay them more money so they can they continue to really awesome Legends figures, maybe they could do different accessories, make different packaging (they already have the year on it, but...), or even some convention re-releases? Pretty please, with a Racing Bros on top?

    The closest thing they do is recolours - even then, the Battlechargers are mostly out of stock on most sites. Same goes with their Seekers, Starscream being a figure everyone is begging for a reissue. Jetfire is getting a SG recolour and Mirage is finally getting a transparent version.

    While I'm not opposed to IF reissuing figures, it might be understandable from their point of view.
    They have quite a big catalog of past figures - where would they even start reissuing? They have limited social media presence (Weibo AFAIK) so it'd be hard to reach out to their full audience to see what could be re-released.

    The other option is for them to go the way of Soundwave 2.0 and redesign their past figures with the new engineering the latest ones have.
    But who knows? One of the latest developments this past year was that they were expanding factory operations...

    in all honesty the guy who owns IF just doesnt care about reissues. there is just way too much on his plate to worry about little stuff like that.

    it is all about cranking out the new stuff right now and i am more than ready for new IF product. so more power to him.

    Wasn't Starscream originally in a 3 pack then later in a single pack? Or am I remembering wrong? Anyways I bet they will eventually do some reissues, but with some differences. I really want a G2 Starscream and Ramjet 2 pack. I still find it interesting they haven't done any other repaints of the coneheads at all

    I'd GIVE to have this set rereleased. If my namesake wasn't clear enough, I love Sideswipe, especially his IDW Designs and I'd love to have this set. Chances are if they were upscaled to near CHUG size, I'd even replace my Siege Sidewipe, since personally the wide MP-12 Chest always feels off to me since he was always slimmer and more athletic in his appearance.
