With the mother of all holy grails being re-issued, and the new star saber alternity, AND the kabaya gum Vic Saber released somewhat recently, does anyone thing there is a chance we could see Holy Grail #2 re-issued in a set or in 2 separate encores?

 

rumors put him in the pipeline. i hope so

 

Of course it's possible. Anything is possible.

Probable? Well that's a different question. I surely hope so, since the figures are awesome.

 

Sure its possible. probable? who knows! I have never heard of anyone knowing the status of molds for Japanese only figures.

I do if they were reissued id buy them.

 

I would be all over this. Then they should follow up with Dai Atlas.

I'm really bitter with Hasbro for keeping so much Transformers awesomeness from me when I was a kid. There was no internet then so I had no way of knowing there were new Transformers coming out that weren't Action Masters or Micro Masters.

 

i read Star Saber is the second favorite autobot commander in japan right after optimus. so chances are pretty good. but oh the import prices ...

 

if they redid the robot masters set or even made masterpiece versions IDFC what the price was it'd be mine

 

mmmmm... minty case fresh Star Saber reissue.  

 

I already have the two but everyone should have a chance to own them. Some of the best G1 releases!

 

It's a shame noone has really tried to expand upon moving past optimus prime as a leader and using star saber in any recent media. I mean I love optimus the best but it wouldnt hurt to get a new generation of bots in the game for a little while, then have prime come back or something.

 

I guess it'd be neat but it could also end up a repeat of Star Convoy...

 

I'd hit it. I could keep my vintage safer that way.

 

i love the robot masters version and would love to pick up the hugeass original

 

I have two Vic Leo's and one Star Saber at this moment in time, all original vintages, of course, but wouldn't mind getting a minty fresh pair just to display and play with. My vintages can take a break.  

 

I don't collect the Japanese G1 because everything is so expensive, but I may definitely pick one of these up.

Question for the people that have been buying up vintage Japanese G1 pieces- does the romours of these things starting to be reissued, does it make you hesitant to pick up vintage pieces? I mean, if they reissued Overlord, would that significantly reduce the value of the current one? If you are thinking about picking up a star saber, are you now going to wait it out and see if the rumours happen?

 

I picked up pretty much any Japanese G1 I wanted five years ago, except for Grand Max. And yeah, I'm waiting for a reissue now.

 

The true number 1 Grail is Grand Maximus not Fort Max.

Fort Max is number 2. Overlord is also way up there on the Grails list I believe.

Victory Saber is hardly a grail for those who never watched any of the Jap TF shows.

 

short answer: Nope. not at all. I buy hard to find pieces not for the gain of being an 'elitist' collector, or to be in the small percentage of 'haves' in terms of 'holy grails'. I buy vintage stuff for the thrill of collecting, their intrinsic value and of course the character in question. Star Saber happened to be one such a character whom had a profound, indelible fondness to my childhood.

 

I have been trying to pick up the Japanese G1 over the last fews years albeit, slowly, lol, and I recently picked up the Victory Sabre giftset and I absolutely love it and don't regret the purchase. Personally, I prefer having the original vintage figures, but if a reissue of good quality is released for a cheaper price I have no problem with it. I have an original Fort Max as well, and I also pre-ordered the reissue. The value of the vintage figures only decreases because the demand for them goes down. I have no problem with that. I still have a number of Japanese G1 that I was willing to acquire, but I must admit, with the reissue of Fort Max and rumors flying of potentially more Japanese G1 reissues, I will be holding off on buying vintage for big bucks for at least a while. I don't collect for the value of the toys. I just love them, valuable or not  

I disagree, I had not seen Victory (I have the discs, but still haven't watched them), and the Victory Saber giftset was a huge grail for me. I don't see how having watched the show makes it a grail.

 

i say yes, if not 2013, 2014 then. its simply time
