FT is trying to remind us of the beauty of the natural world.
1. Bugs.
2. Dinos.
3. Covid 19 (bats)

 

So now mindwipe is getting reissued?

 

Pictures from China never cease to amaze me  

 

Dude, check the cool fan mode I came up with! He's the T-1000 after taking a grenade to the chest!

 

Man that's a great pull.

 

Soar and Scoria definitely need the 2.0 treatment. They are the oldest molds molds of the dino team and feel a bit different from the later released team members. I guess PF Cesium served as the Scoria 2.0.

 

Finally, the first shot of the Menasor skeleton.

 

There’s 2 purple Insecticons at Bombusbee again now that you can actually select in the options.

There's 4 available right now at this delicious price   (which is basically 200 USD more than what I hope to pay in the POs I did in China).

 

Add shipping on top and you might as well get it from a local retailer.

 

You mean, me? If so, totally agree with you, I would prefer to have a local retailer, but as we don’t have one in Brazil, and the nearest is in the US, and the shipping from the US to Brazil is in fact more expensive than shipping from China to Brazil (besides paying the double shipping), I really don’t know another better option.

Anyway, shipping of the bugs from China to Brazil will be less than 50 USD, so with the 200 USD difference, it still seems worth it.

(Also, shipping from China to the US is some 40 USD).


Anyway, I also agree that it would be better to get from a local, in particular if you can find at a good price (Toy Dojo has already made their PO? I think they are the only big retailer left at this moment, right)?

 

Toys R Us

 

Are they back from the dead....again?

Maybe they will sell FT stuff exclusively  

 

I'm smelling a pay per view opportunity here. IRL FansToys purchasing. It would be like Black Friday X Roman Gladiators... A glorious bloodbath... Oh yes, I would be entertained.

 

the whole dibot group?

 

Well... The rumor that started it all was from transfans. They said Grinder would be reissued. Since then the rumor has expanded, as rumors often do.

I don't think anyone knows more than that.

 

Nothing concrete but we also have the possible sign that @Marcelo Antunes mentioned of Dinobot prices going down in China, which seemed to have been something that happens prior to reissues, IIRC.

 

I think that the confirmation of the Insecticons reissue (which is something that a lot of people would not believe some time ago) also indicates that a full dibot reissue is something that is not only expected in general, but that it may happen even before people would expect.
