    Oh well, at least it was kinda close. I'll keep waiting for the other two seekers. It'll have to happen eventually!

    I really hope that all resissues from this point forward keep the G1 box styles. It's just awesome, and let's admit it...if they're targeting nostalgia, go full nostalgic and get the biggest response they can with the repro boxes.

    The votes are there so we feel engaged in a decision that's already been made.

    To be fair, though, you're talking about MP Skywarp, right? That really did shelfwarm...and I was still dumb enough not to get it at clearance, lol!

    Compared to what the mainstream TF line was like, they really should have gone with someone else but WalScream did ok. I never saw WalScream but I did see Skywarp...and thought the 60 CDN they wanted was too much! Boy have times changed...I sill remember walking past the stack of them many times.

    When we see this happen, it seems to be his: too much stock of the 'wrong' character.

    Blaster will do just fine on his own and in his packaging, I think. But he is still an odd choice. With all the really great reissues they could do, they have been trying hard but not completely hitting the mark. Hot Rod is still shelfwarming near me, AND on clearance. So are the non Bee minibots.

    But Prime is selling out, amd Screamer and Devy flew off the shelves. So the demand is clearly there. They just need to pick those harder to find bots. Blaster is ok but I'm not much of a G1 Autobot fan....that said, I still look forward to seeing him on shelves and I'm sure we'll see others as well.

    The prices on these are ridiculous.

    These votes always seem like weird selections to me, but what do I know.

    At this point the only way I’d be interested in any of this is if they lower the price to something reasonable and did the carbots or something interesting like headmasters.

    He\'s probably going to be 60$.... MS Toy\'s Blaster has more articulation and costs less, no thanks.

    One toy reissused mulitple times VS another reissued multiple times. Neither was expensive on the 2ndary market last i looked(?) and it's pretty shaky to conclude either toy is denying us an entirely new reissue.

    Still, it's interesting to see how many people here know how to run a billion dollar toy company.

    Idk why you guys want a repaint reissue of a figure that was already reissued. I'd prefer to get a new mold on mainline shelves...

    Not holding my breath. I\'ve been waiting over 4 months for Soundwave. Not really excited to have to wait over a year for another single figure.

    when are they gonna reissue actual awesome toys like overlord, deathsaurus, space shuttle, browning (maybe in japan only...gun reasons) , a bunch of Zone stuff, 1986-1996 stuff. come on. the only people that are pleased are the basic geewunners who only care about the very bare bones basic selection of g1 toys. id love to see a shockwave reissue or the dinobots if youre gonna do basic stuff.  cant blame hasbro though. people eat this stuff up.
