Does BBTS even have any of these platinums?
They have the Insecticons, Predacons, Year of the Goat Soundwave & G2 Prime, and quite a few others from the Platinum line. I've been searching almost daily hoping the Coneheads and Trypticon make an appearance. I'm contemplating sending them an email asking about it...
I was referring more to the G1 reissues, sorry for not being more clear. And yeah, I forgot they have the insecticons, but that makes even less sense. Why would they only have that one available? While I commend Hasbro in unleashing all these reissues at once (only 1 year after I started collecting too!), I find it really odd and puzzling that they are ignoring their release. They made a huge deal of Combiner Wars and RID but a consumer would really have to go out of their way to figure out what was out there and how to purchase them. There is obviously some passion there for these to be released in the first place but I would really like to see that passion follow through at this stage of the product cycle (selling/distribution). They are treating these reissues like the cheap legion toys found at dollar stores.
