Put me down for Sixshot, Hound, Predaking & Metroplex. I always hated I missed Classics Hound. And the G1s are some of my faves that have yet to make their way into my collection due to funding issues.(and how hard it is to find them MISB, I don't keep them that way, but I like my figures to be shiny new when I get them.)

Affordable Predaking anyone?

That is really good news. Get your preorders in quick, these will go fast!

I need that Sixshot...

G1 Predaking
Didn't they just reissue that 5 years ago?
G1 Sixshot
Dear God please.
Universe 2.0 Hound & Ravage
I still have that at the K-Mart down the street. Just saying.
Classic/Henkei Optimus Prime
Didn't that mold evaporate yet?
G1 Metroplex
Again? Hopefully as Metrotitan this time...
Universe 2.0 Cyclonus
Again, I still have that at the K-Mart down the street. Just saying.
Cybertron/Galaxy Force Primus
I'm thinking unlikely. It's only 4 years old and it would need to come with Planet Keys. On the other hand, it might move better now with the War for Cybertron line.

I can finally buy Hybrid Galaxy Convoy for a decent price, Yay!

Maybe I'll get Henkei Hound also, But is he really that much better than the Universe version?

Might as well fire up the molds if they're sitting around somewhere. It took a while for Predaking to sell out ... but once he did, his prices skyrocketed.

Sixshot was reissued in 2002.

zodconvoy wrote:G1 Metroplex

I 100% agree. Bring on the e-Hobby Metrotitan. I have a spare Micromaster Skystalker I'd donate for them to remold into Metrotitan's Micromaster.

Henkei Hound is the best version of him ever, the universe Hound is poor by comparison.

It was one of the last near identical G1 reissues produced in the early 2000s by Takara Tomy. It came out around the same time as New Year Convoy.

This time I will buy 2 Predakings since I missed the last reissue; One to open and the otherto keep misb for investment purposes. Now if only they would reissue the Gen. combiner bots and Fortress Maximus. Takara can't saythey dont have the parts because a high quality Defensor knockoff is already made and for sale on ioffer.com.

I don't own Sixshot. I would love to pick him up. I am all about getting reissues of G1 guys.

Re: Rumors: Possible Reissue of Transformers Toys (1042071)
Posted by frogbat on January 30th, 2010 @ 1:55pm CST

mmm sixshot is a must have - have been drooling over him since about 1987

i had to console myself when quickswitch came out (who was not half as cool as his daddy by the by)

predaking - i recall wanting him as a kid cos the advert was cool - might be too expensive and am not a big fan of animal formers (still want mp grimlock tho)

universe prime - i accidentally ordered the deluxe one thinkin it was this (ebaying when tired is not a good idea) so hopefully this version will be more affordable than what's out there

cyclonus and hound - i have the hasbro versions which are amongst the best classics ever. don't care much for the henkei chrome

metroplex - mmm might consider him - my original is very dirty and has lots of parts missing, my sister trampled on poor scamper back in 88 : (

Be nice if this was a sign of things to come. Like other previously released reissues coming out again.

Would love to get a G1 Ultra Magnus and God Ginrai as I missed them the last time.

Put me down for Metrotitan and Greatshot as well.

Sixshot and Prowl got me into collecting the toys again a little over 7 years ago. Had never seen Sixshot before, just heard the name. Despite the packaging being in Japanese, I still had a pretty good idea who he was.

Got Predaking when he was last reissued. Have the white, red and orange KO as well and I have to say, the KO colour scheme is a lot cooler then the G1. Rampage's tiger mode looks great in white.

Hybrid Galaxy Convoy and Primus will probably be coming out in the Korean Galaxy Force line. Guess where I will be staying for a whole year starting in February (not a joke btw). Hybrid Convoy will be purchased on sight. Sixshot and Predaking are high on the want list as well.

Great, finally I can get them, because they are all sold out! Or they are for sale at a ridiculous price. I hope they reissue Takara #12 Minibots and Henkei Seekerjets in the nearby future as well. I still need Thundercracker and the Coneheadseekers as well. Fingers crossed!

Holy piss, Sixshot. I'm a happy nerd.

Posted by Diem on January 30th, 2010 @ 7:07pm CST

I picked up all these guys last time around except Hybrid Galaxy Convoy. This is great news for the fans.

Posted by Craven Knight on January 30th, 2010 @ 7:36pm CST

Predaking and Sixshot reissues would go down a treat, hopefully they are at a good price too.

I'd like a Universe Cyclonus aswell, I waited to get the Henkei version and latter decided I wanted both but couldn't find the original.

And add affordable Metroplex too.

Posted by PowerEncarnate on January 30th, 2010 @ 8:55pm CST

I want 10 each. one each to keep and 9 each to sell at a reasonable price when they go up in value in a few months after they sell out. :grin:

gots to pay for my crack somehow

Re: Rumors: Possible Reissue of Transformers Toys (1042203)
Posted by alexison on January 30th, 2010 @ 10:17pm CST

I'll take another prime. I need one to stay in vehicle mode for my G3 trailer. Primus is tempting as well since i picked up Universe/Cybertron Unicron.

Re: Rumors: Possible Reissue of Transformers Toys (1042219)
Posted by Jazz-1982 on January 30th, 2010 @ 10:55pm CST

G1 Predaking & G1 Sixshot - passed up both Sixshot and Predaking when I found both reissues last year boxed but with some accessories missing (Sixshot $100, Predaking $200) and if these rumours are true I'll be glad I did!!
SHINY, BOXED AND NEW BEATS OLD, INCOMPLETE AND LOOSE ANYDAY ;-)

Classic/Henkei Hound - was difficult to find as he sold out quite quickly in Japan. A really good figure, Henkie version all the way - chrome makes figures so much cooler.

Hybrid Style Galaxy Convoy - looks sweet but no thanks. I have Optimus in Encore G1, Masterpiece, Classics and movie versions already and that's more than enough for me.

Classic/Henkei Optimus Prime - disappointed as paid $50+ to get him late last year (didn't decide to buy him until way too late). Great figure though if you get the Henkei version

Classic/Henkei Cyclonus - got the Henkei one and going to get the universe one because it is without doubt the best figure in the whole classics line.

Cybertron/Galaxy Force Primus - hmmmm maybe.....

Hope these rumours are true!!

Ditto. Kinda curious what version of Cyclonus that is too. I've been wanting 3 of the Hasbro ones for the Henkei versions armada. They dried up here before I came to the conclusion I wanted them.

Gonna get Predaking coz I used to have him when I was really little.. Hope its not that exp though..

Posted by Oilspill on January 31st, 2010 @ 8:48am CST

Great news, I really wanted a Predaking but he is just not affordable on Ebay. Now he can be mine!

Might get a Primus too to go with Unicron. We shall see. Oh yes we shall.

Re: Rumors: Possible Reissue of Transformers Toys (1042348)
Posted by Razorclaw0000 on January 31st, 2010 @ 8:53am CST

I'll happily buy a Henkei Hound just so I can pay less for him than I did for Strafe.

I may get a Henkei Cyclonus since I already have every other version and will be getting the Shattered Glass repaint. So I might as well go completest. I wouldn't mind if they reissued Henkei Hot Rod too. That way once the Protector armor finally comes out, I'll either have Classics or Henkei in the armor as Rodimus Prime and the other out as Hot Rod.

You could just go balls to the walls and get 7, one for each mode.

I'd be all about a new Predaking, I had one second hand minus the parts, I'd love a new one.

henkei Hound would be mine as well.
