    Personally I would like to see more combiner gift sets like Computron and Menasor. As it stands the market is saturated with KO sets and that ain't cool. I want official reissue sets!

    Autobot combiner. Seriously, any Autobot combiner! We haven't had a single Autobot combiner reissue, but there's already been at least four Decepticon ones!

    I got a knock off Devastator and didn't even realize it was a knock off till someone online mentioned that they were never packaged on card as a set. Individually they were but not all six Constructicons on the same card... and real ones came with instructions unlike the knock off where I spent way longer than I should have trying to figure out how to put the arms on before I realized that the box art was mirrored. There's no universal connectors for Devastator so the arms will only attach one way. You can't swap them like with Scramble City combiners. Hence having a mirrored image on the card had me trying to put the right arm on the left side and vice versa.

    Ok
    What’s the point?

    What I’m saying is that there’s a chance Of them being re-issued unlike the others that were not part of the Takara toy line

    First and foremost I would like for them to fix their stock issues before ordering anything else.

    Licensing. Maybe Ferrari wouldn't care, but I suspect they would.

    Hasbro never did manage to make a proper toy out of DOTM Mirage. Sorry 'Dino".

    Licensing might not be an issue, this is an old toy of an old car, I don’t think Hasbro had a licensing issue when they released G1 sideswipe

    I think these pre-existing all the toys fall into a different category than a new toy of a newer car

    And Jazz was a Porsche, didn't stop Hasbro from reissuing him back in the Collector Series days, what'd stop them now?

    Because maybe car manufacturers have become a lot more aggressive about protecting their designs?

    You will note i said maybe :)

    I don't think they'd ever make Swoop again because that was such an absurdly delicate figure.
