Still wondering when those come out.shockblast2 wrote:Pass. As a parent I am done buying rescue bots after I find rescan Boulder and Chase.
What reissues?shockblast2 wrote:These "reissues" are getting stupid.

I forgot. Was looking for something else when I found it, so I didn't check the price.shockblast2 wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Saw one at Target today, myself. Won't buy it unless it makes its way into the show, though.
What was the price point on these?
They keep making new toys of the main four since those guys are in the show. They're trying to milk their popularity as they always do with popular characters.shockblast2 wrote:Reissues like the rescans, the dinos, these new ones......new characters are in order. That is why I might pick up Salvage, and was glad to see Medix and Hoist reissued.

I guess he means that they look like upscaled version of previously released toys.
Not true. This new Heatwave is much bigger than the original (roughly the size of the old nontransforming Electronic figures, or the big Optimus that came with the Rescue Trailer), turns into a very different-looking fire truck, and has a completely different transformation scheme.shockblast2 wrote:Yes. We had the first set, the Energized, and these, which are basically the same molds,

And this Heatwave is a new mold, priced at $19.99 that is considerably larger than even the larger first 2 years of Rescue Bots as shown in this picture. Masterpiece Soundwave should demonstrate the considerable size difference along with Medix.
Man, I really need to do a Rescue Bots gallery marathon to get that line current in our galleries.

Prime Arcee to Generations Chromia was a retool, yes.shockblast2 wrote:It is a retool of the original, up scaled. No different than they did with Chromia with Prime Arcee.
Energized and the originals were the EXACT same molds with clear parts. The point is it is the same old figures being released over and over. They are starting to put the ROTF line to shame....
