Site sponsor BigBadToyStore has listed pre-orders for Commemorative Reissues of G1 Optimus Prime and Soundwave. Both are scheduled to arrive next month. Another great opportunity to acquire these classic molds for those who have missed them in the past.

#1 Commemorative G1 Optimus Prime - $69.99


#2 Commemorative G1 Soundwave with Ravage & Laserbeak

Well, great I guess.
But weren't these released like 2-3 separate times (each) just last year? Why don't we get more regular reissues of other figures. Or better yet, just re-release the entire G1/G2 lines and put them in places like Walmart and Target where people can get them easily.

I feel the same way. Whats wrong with reissuing something we haven't had a ton of yet? Takara just did Devastator, maybe Hasbro could release it state side for those who cannot import. Shockwave, if they still have the mold, or Galvatron would be other good choices. For Autobots Kup, Springer, and any combiner would be good choices that I think gave not seen state reissues.

Yea I love both the figues but I already have them. I might pick up a Prime becuase my original G1 is missing a hose, and has a broken door. I'd love to see a rerelease of all the cars and seekers. I missed out on the bug G1 reissue at TRU back in 2004.

Again with these figures?

[Crystal Rodimus]

Are these coming to TRUs or just BBTS?

[FracturedKoi]

Another release of Shortstackimus Prime? Is it really that necessary to snip the stacks? Would a kid really buy and play with Prime roughly enough that the stacks pose a problem?

[Megatron Wolf]

so are these the TRU ones or is this a new reissue run? Also what version of soundwave are they using if its not the TRU versions, is it the double tape door or the single?

I already have them, of course. Optimus Prime was a must at the very start of my collection. I had to buy separate smokestacks and mod my re-issue.
As for Commemorative Soundwave, I finally got him in a trade for a KO Battle Tanker I middle-manned less than a month ago.

Still, like many of you said, I would have preferred something else. Instead of Optimus Prime, reeissued over 9000 times, why not Ultra Magnus? Instead of Soundwave, why not Shockwave? Okay, forget Shockwave. I bet the "nozzle" you put at the end of the Phaser mode would be security orange. Galvatron would have been a better reissue. The real desing already have the orange tip.
