I'm really tempted to get the G1 Six Shot Asian Exclusive reisue. I love big Transformers and this one come with a shiny coat of metalic paint. However, it's still around 130$ plus shipping. The metalic paint is nice, but seeing what it did on Beast Machine toys worry me. How can I be sure it will not flake-off in the future?

Also, I see lots of original vintage Six Shots available on Ebay for less than 1004 shipped to Canada. And they are 100% complete and in great condition!

I'll be geting a G1 Six Shot for sure. But what is the more worth it? the vintage original, or the ironically 50$ more expensive shiny reisue?

I believe that most folks think it's a bit of a silly release especially in regards to the new paint apps for that enormous of a price tag.

Just get the G1 and be happy. Try and get a super minty one if you can find it and you'll still save money.

Others may say different and that an "encore" release is always better than a G1 antique but i think it's cheating. The charm of a vintage piece that's minty and has survived the test of time is far more appealing (too me) than a new one with a flashy paint scheme. There's no thrill to the hunt in my opinion and no real value.

That's my opinion as a collector.

I agree with you 100%. Only when the G1 reeisue is at least 50% cheaper than the original will it be worth it. So yeah, as I wrote my first post, I pretty much made my mind.

Oh yeah, Six Shot WILL be mine. The REAL one, that is.

Forget the reissue with the leather stuffs, 'tis a silly reissue.

I have no problem with the new paint apps; I just think it's overpriced. Since everyone else seems to think so, too, I'm hoping it will be on clearance some time next year and maybe I can get it for under $100.

As stated above, I have a feeling that the reissue will end up on clearance. However, I doubt that it will be discounted enough to interest me.

You never know. The exclusive Commemorative version of Piranacon (Seacons) went as low as $29.99 several times. It seems like the minor color changes were enough to keep the buyers away.

Oh lawl! The Six Shot shiny is back at 180$ on BBTS. Just to make sure I (or anyone sane) will not buy it.

I did consider it when it was $130 but meh

I've never understood people's fascination/obsession with owning this figure. Sure, I picked up an original cheap back when I first got into collecting, it's a decent figure ... but it's not spectacular.

I guess because I own him and he's never been a grail I don't get it.
