    i'd be interested in it, if it does not have any changes from the original, that the reissue had. don't get me wrong i love my reissue, but i'd prefer to have one in the original colors. :) 

    but if it is just a rebox of the new reissue... then screw it lol

    I'm happy with my previous reissue Star Convoy. In a way, I'm kind of glad to have a bit of a break. I'm loving all the reissues especially the cassettes and (hopefully) the Combaticons.

    I'm really surprised that TakTomy hasn't put out G1 Sideswipe yet as an Encore figure. Just seems so obvious what with TF2.

    If they really want to give us a good reissue, give us either Overlord, or Liokaiser.

    For those of you that wish for a Star Saber, I agree 100%, well if they do Victory Leo as well. I have a set that I purchased MISB and opened (not the smartest thing I have ever done). I can tell you that they are one of my most favorite Transformers of all time and the only other G1 Transformer that comes any where near the height of my Brave Max (2000 Fort Max Reissue). If there was a reissue, I would by at least 2 sets so I could keep one MISB and take out the other one. Because of age, I now only transform mine original about once every 5-7 years. For those of you that have him, you may agree, he is really a work of art. He looks amazing and how he combines in both jet and robot modes really work which I wouldn’t think due to Victory Leo being a Lion.

    Hell, I'd be happy to get a reissue Laserwave.
    They have already proved with Sky Lynx, and Omega Supreme that they have access to old licensed molds, so why not a Laserwave.
    Hell, Ehobby could even offer him in gray like the Radioshack one here in the States.

    I'd take Laserwave, or an official encore of Metrotitan in a heartbeat!
    Star Saber and Victory Leo come to mind as well
    Hell, If we are throwing out dream reissues, why not a Grand Max Encore, with Pretender shell and sword?

    @Takara:


    No one wants it. Why do you reissue it?


    There's so many other things they could reissue: Liokaiser, for example.

    say shockwave, it is buggin me lol, goin to confuse the new members of the fandom :lol 

    anyways, it wasn't that simple. it was impossible for Sky Lynx and Omega Supreme to get reissued until takara merged with tomy, and tomy had the molds, which they got from an old company they took over that takara/hasbro originally liscensed the molds from in the first place. it ain't the same with shockwave. it would cost hasbro money to liscense the mold from the company that owns it, even if the company is willing to do it anyways....heck the condition of the mold is unknown.....oh and the condition of at least two of the liokaiser molds is unknown, cause when the UK got liokaiser, they only got 4 of them. so it is unknown if it is possible
