    Awesome. Predaking, Sixshot and Primus (assuming it's in the G1-esque box) will be mine again..

    These are great news, yay! I just hope they're reasonably priced... by the way I posted about this on my post on transformers figures reissue.

    Good news that they're pulling out some old reissues to, well, reissue. I'm sure it has been mentioned before in the thread, but it seems curious about Encore Metroplex as they didn't seem to fly out of the warehouses. I guess that perception was incorrect.

    Agreed. The prices on figures like Red Alert and Hot Rodimus are silly due to their rarity. I would love to see both out again.

    So now that these are being reissued by Hasbro HK, does this mean that the prices will be less than the original releases when they were first released?? And a nother silly question, but I'm hopped up on cold meds, did that make sense to everyone?

    I'd quite like to do that too... I need another Magnus and Optimus for the same reason one to use with a G3 trailer and one to use with the Commander trailer - pity all those Optimus & Ultra Magnus twin packs dried up who would have guess all those years ago that they'd have been so useful for a trailer fan to have.

    I've got the Same problem I've got a 2nd hand Sixshot and he's in great condition but he's missing his guns too.

    THS Galaxy Convoy is not as good as THS-02 though he's a bit floppy and seems very small... I guess he might display OK with Cybertron Legends though. I barely used mine since I got it.

    They were a lot cheaper when they came out in Hong Kong than the initial Takara issue.

    I hope Hasbro HK make some more things that could be useful to have out again like .... Binaltech Convoy.

    I will admit I'm a little puzzled that a Metro-Titan repaint never got released. I'd have like to have that.

    Oh please don't say that, my wallet's hurting enough as it is.. even if it's released with out the micromaster, I'd be a happy camper.

    Primus would be good kitbash material, since I already have one. I'm planning on using his hands. Also, Predaking + Sixshot= I need to get a job.

    I already picked up THS-01 and just picked up Primus (the one with the Unicron head), but Sixshot and Predaking are great news for me! I was mentally preparing myself to spend big bucks on the older reissues, but new ones (presumably at a far cheaper price) are great news for me and my wallet.

    Metroplex with new hands - now that would be nice.

    I wonder if the Superion Add on kit ones fit ok ?

    If this is true, I think I'm gonna have to acquire a Predaking giftset. The Ebay prices for the 2004 reissue are way too high for my liking...

    Uh, yeah, I know that.

    I only brought up (south) Korea , because on some sites like BBTS, the Korean editions seem to be sometimes cheaper than the same Hasbro or Takara products.

    BigBadToyStore.com Search




    Basically, I wanted to know if they would be cheaper that the original reissues sold in Japan.
    Like that guy's question.

    I need a Cyclonus!! I wish they'd rerelease the Universe one as I like the colors of that one better. I actually passed on it when I saw it in the stores.....I wasn't collecting TFs then.

    To bad they're not re-releasing Henkei Rodimus. I'd like to pick up another one for the Protector upgrade.
