    I'm kind of hoping these are mass produced enough to inspire 3rd party add on and replacement part kits for G1 figures. I definitely caught myself thinking that, having purged my vintage collection, this kind of makes me want to own these to take measurements for Shapeways upgrades.

    Seeing we are getting Hot rod I wonder if we might see Galvatron. I know gun Megs is out of the question but I can see Galvy getting a reissue. I really would like to know when Hot Rod is due out.

    You know what would be hilarious? If they brought back the need to use robot points to order remakes of Reflector and the Omnibots :)

    I wouldn't mind if they re-released Overlord again. I know we just got him for TR but I'd love a G1 Overlord. He just seems like such a cool toy to have. That, and G1 Raiden.

    So this could possibly have the Optimus Prime fist, but it's uncertain. I will get this regardless of that so I can finally finish my G1 seeker set. Glad I didn't rush to complete the set as this release will round it off perfectly, especially if it has all the accessories from the TFC release.

    The dino cassettes are the only ones being reissued that have never been reissued before.

    I wouldn't get my hopes up for the Dinobots....if they had access to the molds, surely they'd have been reissued at some point between 2000 and 2012 when all the other stuff was released.

    I wonder if the minibots are single carded like the originals. I need a G1 Bumblebee, but have no need for the others.

    I'm very excited about this. But I wouldn't get my hopes up on seeing anything that hasn't been released since after the TFC bookstyle reissues. With that said, bring 'em on! I'm ready.

    Well played, Hasbro. I have all these figures (some more than once) but just having new G1 reissue figures out there means... I have to get them! Absolutely beautiful.

    Unfortunately, being in the UK, who knows how/if/when these come to regular retail. Some online stores have had the Hot Rod reissue for a slightly painful £42, so would be nice if Asda or Smyths got these...

    I don't care for getting Devestator or any minibots, but I would absolutely love to have Starscream.

    Correction: Tailgate and Swerve, yeah, I'd be down to buy them. Love those little guys.

    Nice. Even though i do not collect G1, this is still pretty nifty.

    My money's on Devastator.

    Three Energon Cubes says you're wrong!

    Damn good news - and just in time for the 35th anniversary next year.

    I can't believe there still is demand for this for being released in a regular store.

    I went to the link, and per RK, Repugnus is one of the re-issues. Am I reading that correctly ?

    No, that's the currently known Titans Return one. Or whatever line, the modern update.
