    Worth exploring if you can find the right character to start with.

    I have them separated by faction and line. I'm out of room for POTP though.

    Add Shockwave and Reflector and those above would be on the top of my list.

    I have 2 of each (one MISB) of every reissue from 2001 Optimus/Convoy. G1 reissues were my favorite line and would be again if it restarted.

    For Bumblebee, either reissue him on card or pack multiple minibots into a box the size Hot Rod comes in. Bumblebee, Brawn & Windcharger. If popular, another pack with Huffer, gears & Cliffhumper.

    I think I'd rather have him carded. If I'm getting Minicars, I'd like to have them almost exactly like they were in 1984.

    BUT, for kicks, pack in a red Bumblebee and a Bumper as well, one per case on each.

    Hasbro should reissue the blind box World's Smallest Transformers but for America/Europe/Asia markets. Blind stuff is still a big seller in the toy aisle these days, and there is already a Worlds Smallest blind box and carded toy line featuring other classic toys like Stretch Armstrong, Hot Wheels, Magic 8 Ball, and Rubik's Cube. It's time Transformers enters that arena. The molds are already made, just sitting collecting dust. All you'd have to spend money for is packaging design, packaging, manufacturing, and shipping. C'mon Hasbro, this is a no-brainer.

    I don't think WST would fly in America's toy aisles because of the parts size and choking hazard issues.

    But, they could reissue the Fun4All Minicar keychains from 7-8 years ago.

    They were going to sell Prime and Soundwave in America packed-in with cancelled Energon Optimus & Megatron repaints.

    I'd LOVE to see a G2 Megatron redecoed in G1 colors and "reissued" with the '84 cast.

    As others have stated, given there's no chance of Wheeljack, Mirage, Sunstreaker, Shockwave, or any of the Dinobots happening due to reasons...

    I DO still need a G1 Cliffjumper, which looking online, even the keychain re-release has skyrocketed in price.

    Also, Ratchet, Grapple, and Skids, but I can easily get them given they've been re-released a number of times.

    G1 Collectors might want to lynch me for saying it, but I'd buy a reissue of Red Bumblebee, Yellow Cliffjumper, and Bumblejumper/Bumper.

    I could see that as a three-pack actually.

    Maybe toss in Enemy and make it a vs. pack?

    I was always disappointed that this never made it to Encore. They did Sunstorm, black Megatron, a couple of others I wasn't the really interested in, and then stopped. The Powered Convoy deco is really sharp but the MP (sold as Delta Magnus) seems to have sold like crap so maybe it was the right call.

    They did it as an E-Hobby release in the early days of reissues. But yes, I was also eager for a second shot at it for a more reasonable price than the e-hobby goes for right now.

    That's what I mean. I was funding my collection with a summer job at the time and had to choose between him and 16S black Megatron. You can imagine my disappointment when Megatron showed up and his "black" was just a slightly darker chrome that only looked black in photos.

    If this becomes a thing, I hope to see Soundwave & Devastator. Those have a fairly high chance of happening, I would think. Also a minibots release would be fun.

    But what I really, really want is a Punch/Counterpunch. I wasn't even aware he was a thing until a month ago, but he just looks so much fun to mess with.

    Soundwave is likely. Devastator...not certain why it never saw a U.S. reissue. Kind of strange, as the Encore version seemed to be mostly fine. Personally, I wouldn't mind having an affordable reissue offering in the $80 range (roughly $13+ per Constructicon).
