Re-Released yes. Several FE figures will see release in Asia.

Unless I missed something, (very possible, so don't bite my head off): So far FE Cliffjumper has been confirmed as coming to America with a new head mind you.

I'm sure we'll see the Bulkhead Repaint as well.

Not sure about any others.

Hasbro has said that some of the FEs will be rereleased, as TRU exclusives. Amongst them, Terrorcon Cliffjumper.

The FE Cliffjumper mold will also be in the Generations line, with a G1 styled head.

You missed that they'll be re-released in the States this November. No Bee or regular FE Cliff though that's not a bad thing IMO.

How much does a Bulkhead cost out your way anyway?
Id'e be willing to strike up a deal around the first if it isnt like a billion dollars...

If I remember correctly, A FE Bulkhead cost around 40-45$ over there. Add taxes, shipping, and a 5-10$ for the troubles, and you have a 100$ Bulkhead anyway. You may just hit Ebay at that price.

By the way, I still have one FE Cliffjumper, Starscream, and Arcee for trade if anyone is interested.

I would guess mind you that the demand will be too great and you won't find too many in stores but hey I could be wrong. One can only imagine how many units per store will get.

To clarify once again somewhere the announcement was made that a guarantee of all FE Prime (except BB) figs are to be RE-released at TRU stores? :VEHI:

You'll have FE Cliffjumper mold with a new head mod, then a repaint of Bulkhead, am I right so far? No FE OP, no FE Arcee, no FE Starscream so IMO these ain't RE-releases.

We're not talking about the Asia-exclusives that use FE molds. First Edition will be re-released in November. Besides, Brawn will probably get no release in the US just because of FE Bulkhead. These have been confirmed:

Deluxe
- Arcee
- Vehicon
- Starscream
- Terrorcon Cliffjumper

Voyager
- Optimus Prime
- Bulkhead

It was announced at SDCC. Yes.

I didn't know Bee wasn't come back to us. Didn't grab that while it was out (because of all the places to look for FEs I was too retarded to go to TRU), so I guess it's back to online sources for that.

And they'll be around FOREVER, so when clearance hits, you can get one half off, lol.

I already have it, and he's not batting up to par with me compared to the FE.

Hey, someone that agrees with me. Personally, I can't stand the PRiD mold. x.x; I mean, as great as Hot Shot looks, I can't bring myself to buy him, he's so SO hollow! Normally that doesn't bug me...but normally it isn't that blatant. :\ It's hard to find an angle from which you can't see his empty, empty torso.

Eh, I think the mold works with Hot Shot, but not Bumblebee, considering I own both of them.

It's still at hasbrotoyshop.com, I got one after the disappointment that was PRiD Bumblebee.

Definitely agree. Hot Shot is a cool figure and much better suited to the PRiD mold IMO.

Even if I prefer the RiD mold overall, FE Bee's vehicle mode is way superior.
In canada, FE Bee is a plague. Sooner or later, it will be on clearance at 5$-8$+taxes (let's hope). This will be the time to ask for some middlemanning. If you don't care about the packaging, it could ammount to 15-20$ shipped. When the time is right, I will mail you if you want.

(Right now, they are at 20$ total so that's a big nope.)

Iv'e owned both BB molds. FE Bee isnt only more accurat, more superior, better painted, and more posable, but he's also better quality, more in scale with the others, and you can transform his chest any way you want to make him look even MORE accurate. FE BEE hands down.

I agree, but I still sold him.

No love from me whatsoever. Cliffjumper is the small(ish) bot on my shelf. [-(

What do they cost up there? You have me interested in figuring out an estimate on how much it would be to have you send me a FE Cliff...

News Credits: 100 · by **-Kanrabat-** » Tue Jul 17, 2012 7:18 pm

Taxes included, any deluxes cost 20$ at TrU at regular price. There was 3 FE Cliffy left and I bought them all for trades after I took the picture. Yes, I bought them at full price. Plus one Starscream for good measure. I had to eat ramens for a week, but it was worth it. No way I was going to wait for a sale and lose my last chance forever.

I warn you that Canadian Shipping Prices are ridiculously expensive.

It's confirmed that the "real" FE Cliffy will not be re-issued. Just Terrorcon (who is NOT the Arms-Micron) and the one with a G1 head.

I have ONE FE Cliffy left for trade. PM me for more details.
