I have the KO Dinocassettes but I'd definitely pick up an Encore 4-pack as well! I'm so glad they're still making G1 reissues so they're attainable for more collectors!

 

Now that\'s actually a likely mistake... thinking the third photo is Frenzy.  Here\'s hoping maybe these exclusive releases are odd colored variants — maybe white, black, cobalt blue, or gold.  :-o

 

The link is already gone, leads to an empty page.
I\'d be surprised if Hasbro let Takara release the other Dinocasette team before they do. My money is on Graphy and Noise being HasCon exclusives to round out Volumes 3 and 4 of the Bee tapes.

 

Do you think they might go so far so to do both "regular" and "reverse" versions of Graphy and Noise at HasCon, or are we more likely to see a couple of split sets again, with the other set being available by some other means? (Seems Hasbro's favored method of artificially increasing sales.)

 

HasCon 2019 - Sept. 6-8, 2019

 

Thanks I just relized these had September 2019 release stupid me. I still don't know if Hasbro would release these in a volume 3 or 4 still could happen though.

 

Mixing these with movie characters makes me postal. Don't mix gen 1 with that hot mess anymore please. I am holding out on the Bee tapes to avoid movie figures and in hopes I get proper colors.

 

I myself would definitely have preferred not to have to buy a movie-verse toy alongside the dinocassettes, but if that kind of bundling is the only way Hasbro can justify taking the risk (and no matter what others say, it is a risk!) of making these available, I'll live. I've already sold the SDCC Bumblebee on eBay to recoup some of the costs, and I'm likely to do with same with Vol. 2.

 

I agree with Zap.Scaplers will flock and grab as many as they can so they can jack up prices on the figures and to be honest it's very highly unintelligent to do that.But yes mass retail will work but I think those figures should have a normal release then just a online or retail exclusive or even a con exclusive.So I'm with you there Zap just let be like the normal Generations or Cyberverse release.

 

Well, there's a simple solution for what we're looking for: a permanent G1 subline on shelves. Hasbro basically starts releasing G1 figures and convinces stores to either stock them near the main TF section OR in the adult collectibles section elsewhere. Considering the power of nostalgia today (and the recent success of adult collectibles like POP figures), it makes a lot of sense to try it.

 

Did not see this other places - no HASCON 2019 as of now - Hasbro HASCON 2017

Hope we do get info soon on those other two dino cassettes. Cause half a set is only gonna piss off more of us...

 

This is pretty big news here, in my opinion. This needs to be its own news thread.

EDIT: Couldn't wait. Had to start it myself.

 

I wonder if this has something to do with talks of Hasbro moving out of Rhode Island.

Also, if you are referring to the other dino cassettes from the Greatest Hits Vol 1 set, volume 2 with the other dino cassettes (and a gold Studio Series VW Bee) is out now with online retailers.

Transformers Studio Series 20 Deluxe Bumblebee Vol. 2 Retro Pop Highway Exclusive

 

No, he means the other two Dinocassettes. Not to be confused with the same two only repainted.

 

The rumored vol. 3+4 potentially in 2019 conjectured about at Hascon with the other two of the 4 w cassettes ^^

 

A simple Encore 4-pack of the Dinocassettes sure would be nice.

 

Will Takara be releasing the dinocassettes? Has it been officially announced?
