Something just seems weird here. But I guess I'm just partially jealous that I can't gank free toys off the assembly line and post pictures of them.

I see the guy also got his hands on a yet to be released Marvel Legends Blizzard as well...

Obviously, like every G1 re-issues ever. If there were diecast originally, the diecast will remain. Only changes are the leight of smokestacks and missilles, plus the removing/weakening of firing mechanisms for new standards in security.

Not necessarily. There is a version of Predaking that comes without Diecast but the recent rereleases kept the die cast instead.
The original G1 predaking in Japan was all plastic, but their reissue had die cast.

On the flipside, Encore Bruticus is all plastic, while the originals had variations with die cast.

In Onslaught's case, was the entire silver chest die-cast? Painted or molded silver? 'cause I've seen some Japan vintage boxes of him but already plastic. Those must have sold out in a flash back then.

No need to detach it and store in the cockpit. yet the Transformation and attaching of the hands (which sadly I lost) is much like the G1 Larger counterparts.
Please release the other three seekers as well.
And please release Sixshot as well.

Still, why bother buying that pricey reissue when the vintage original is way cheaper?

Ehhhhhhh.... you and I may have different definitions of "perfect". To me, there's NO way to recapture the feeling of opening your own brand new TF. Which is why I'm only going to buy vintage G1's when I absolutely have to. Cause even though I bought it, its not mine y'know?-Kanrabat- wrote:But when the reissue is nearly 200$ When you can get a PERFECT condition and COMPLETE vintage for less than 100$, the question still stand.

Maybe. But when the reissue is nearly 200$ When you can get a PERFECT condition and COMPLETE vintage for less than 100$, the question still stand.
