Found this bouncing around Facebook today, couldn't think of a better place to post it without starting a new thread.

Not my PM.

 

Looks like no Stomp this year but Scourge and Tesla 2.0 coming at some point is looking good

 

Definitely, it made me feel better about just selling my Tesla 1.0.

 

That Tesla please

 

Well no time soon isn't a no at least, hopefully they du eventually do get around to it for those that missed out.
Makes me wonder what reissues they do have planned for near future. Probably just their combiner bots to make sure everyone has an ample chance to get them.

 

They still have to re-release Sovereign-M and Quietus -T, so those would probably be the priority for re-release before the older stuff.

 

Ahh yes I forgot that was part of the plan. Hopefully a lot that missed out can get those. They were both a couple of tooth and nail fights last year.

 

Great news from FT that Tesla v2 is on their radar rather than reissuing an outdated clunker, and Scourge is a natural 2021-2022 figure. I don't think we need any more Dibot reissues until they do all five in toon colors, but Insecticons reissued would be nice eventually and have fairly high demand compared to other released products to reissue. Hoping for Lupus reissue when Chomp finally arrives. Dracula is still widely available so people would be able to acquire all three together in that case.

They really don't have to do those anytime soon either, tbh. But they likely would sell faster than most other previous products.

 

Is Scourge a bot there's a lot of demand for? Isn't XTB's good enough?

 

Hell yes there's demand! The FT Dark Triad is not yet complete! XTB's version blows, looks like it fell out of a gumball machine compared to Sovereign's and Quietus' shiny shininess.

 

Only really bothered by Tesla 2.0 and Insecticons reissue. Fanstoys have announced enough new stuff I'm happy with already.

 

It's looking like Dracula will be just like Lupus. Available for years, and once the next one comes it will suddenly dry up and people who somehow missed him will start looking for a reissue which FT will be disinclined to make since it took years for the first run to sell out.

Scourge is a Troop Builder character for Sweeps. Personally instead of buying several of the same mold from the same company I would prefer to have him from 3 - 4 different companies. Besides you've been around long enough to know that for some people there is demand for anything if it has an FT logo on it's box.

Another note Scourge is one of only 3 characters who FT has teased a silhouette for that they have not released to date. The others are Devastator, which Dalianjj recently reiterated FT's commitment to all of the Combiners, and Blaster who was just reintroduced along with the revival of their Soundwave so Scourge was the only one with a silhouette but nothing at all similar to news in several years (2015 was the silhouette I believe, nothing since).

Honestly Andras is my favorite XTB product. Admittedly that is not saying very much.

 

Bummer for those of us without Insecticons or Dibots. Would love a 5-pack and 3-pack respectively. Tesla 2.0 is uplifting but it will probably be a while.

 

Wow, This dude... Ryan is a FT zealot... This level of devotion to a company is scary...

 

I've heard this same thing from a few folks.

 

Could you imagine the weight of dibot 5 pack.

The Insecticons need a reissue. The after market price is just ridiculous on those. I'm lucky with my dibots, I got in on them as loads of people were second guessing getting the giga set. Scored some really great prices.

 

Nice, I try to stay diligent with looking for deals/bargains/luck-outs with certain figures including the Insecticons but nada so far. Jokes on you, aftermarket value, I have patience!

Also, I think a Spotter 2.0 would go over well.

 

I've picked up a junker blue soar which I'm gonna try and get fixed and sell on. Or just sell it as a junker. Right arm snapped off  

 

You should see their fb group. On second thought, don't. lol

 

No one asked about Spotter?
