4 of the Mini-Bots (Bumblebee, Cliffjumper, Windcharger and Brawn) have been released as keychains back in 2000.
Also, which molds get reissued depends on popularity and availability. We'd die for a Sunstreaker, Mirage and Wheeljack reissue for instance, but those along with a couple others either are lost or have deteriorated to the point they can't be used.

I never got the G1 Inspections during any of their previous releases, I think it'll be nice to pick them up this time around.

Or even included the Deluxe Insecticons as well. 9 figures in that box (lord knows it's big enough) would have justified the price.
As it stands your getting hustled if you buy this release as it is.

Am I missing something here? I hadn't seen any news of a platinum insecticon release before now and certainly haven't heard of a platinum trypticon release?! I've never owned trypticon so would love a platinum release!

What about Blaster and Perceptor? Were those confirmed?william-james88 wrote:gothsaurus wrote:Yeah, Trypticon was the surprise reissue for me. I'm definitely getting one of those. Sheesh. His little radars are expensive to try to replace. Ha ha.
Trypticon is the only rumour that has yet to be confirmed. His huge size and the initial unlikelihood of his reissue tells me that it is very possible he will just remain a rumour, especially since all the others have since been confirmed and were all present at the same Nuremberg toy show.

It's curious how something like that gets lumped in with a bunch of other rumored toys that already have been revealed.
I could see Trypticon not passing drop tests in the states, because I know he failed mine after being knocked off the top of my bookcase by a damned cat.
