Anyone here any word on if there anymore Toys R Us reissues? The last ones were Perceptor and the Insecticons. I'm hoping for A dinobot or something. Jetfire would make me smile

Next Reissue of sorts will be Blaster, a San Diego Comic Con Exclusive;

No chance of a Dinobot or Jetfire I'm afraid.

Hasbro reissues tend to follow where TakTom lead, so if TRU were to sell any more reissues, I'd look out for stuff that was released either as Encore, or as part of the TFC reissue line from several years ago. They could do worse than Blitzwing or Hound.

Actually, Hasbro have also lead the way for reissues - Rodimus Prime, Hoist, Hotrod and Ultra Magnus. I know, of course, that Ehobby reissued these molds not long before, but they were a limited release, as opposed to general.

Of stuff Takara have already done, I'd like Soundblaster.

Of stuff yet to be done, I'd like Reflector - in some kind of G1 styled box. I already own the toy, but I'd like another one.

No chace of a Jetfire I'm afraid as the mold was originally created by Takatoku Toys, now owned by Bandai. They're a direct rival of the TF franchise with its' Power Ranger/Sentai stuff :sad:

Which gives them more reason to create a brand new, original mold and gives us a Masterpiece Skyfire identical to the G1 series cartoon

I can dream can't I?

We'll probably hear more at Botcon and/or TFCon.

I really thought these reissues were dead until they were revived last year so ya never know.

Soundblaster would be cool...I'm going to skip over the Blaster reissue.
