someone from TFW wrote:For fans of the third party group MakeToys, keep your eyes open for another release of their Yellow Giant as images are starting to spread of a potential box set reissue. First spotted by TFW2005 boards member daimchoc on UpgradeCommander, this reissue also looks to include the detachable crane arm that Green Giant had, given the figure another weapon to throw around and an overall cleaner look.

Preorders do not look to be up yet nor do we know the scope of this release, although the estimated release date is May. Keep your eyes open for this box set release if you happened to have missed out on the first Giant production runs.

Think this MT Yellow giant gift set spells bad news for fans who have the yellow individual smaller multi boxes version. As it will be worth galaxies less than what they once were worth.

Think Ebay is going to be over flooded with the first release individual multi boxes Yellow giant toys. Buyers will probably get great low prices.

As someone who collects Transformers and also has the original Yellow Giant, it really doesn't matter if the "value" of Yellow goes down due to this. I'm in this for my personal enjoyment of having and playing with these figures, I rarely sell items off for personal profit.

If anyone is still trying to sell the original Yellow Giant figures, it'll probably make a small dent on their sales. But the functional differences between Yellow and Green really don't necessitate any huge markdowns.

Son of a b**ch !

I hate Hooks crane arm ! Its so Hasbroish. But Ive already invested in Reprolabels and never display them in individual bot modes so an upgrade is out of the question. Honestly, I think Maketoys would make more money selling the arm/cranes for 20 bucks a pop to people who bought the first run. I would buy one.
