Site sponsor Kapow Toys has let us know that we can expect Asian market exclusive reissues of G1 Rodimus Prime and Sideswipe sometime in late December. No word on pricing or packaging, but it's believed they will come in the same packaging as the Toys"R"Us exclusive reissues from a few years back.

Are these going to be real, official reissues or just knock-offs?

Might not be tagged under it, but it's similar like Prime/Megatron that got released in the Movie 2-packs.

Could these be overruns from the previous release a few years back? Similar to the news report that Star Convoy was getting a re-release when some reports stated that there was an overstock? :-?

Meh. Maybe I can replace my G1 Sideswipe which I stickered when I was wasted... Doesn't look all that good in hindsight.

Great, two more reissues of G1's that have already been reissued recently.

How about find/repair/retool Mirages, Wheeljacks or Sunstreakers molds and reissue them, or better still just reissue Shockwave or Reflector.

Fantastic! I hope I don't have to pay out the ass for these though.

I need a Sideswipe. They need to do a Sunstreaker too.........

Asian Market Exclusives huh? That means it's likely Hasbro, which means Toy Safety Laws will strike again for Sideswipe.

Nonetheless, I'll gladly take both, especially Rodimus Prime.
