IS the encore line over?

Feel free to discuss anything about any of the thousands of Transformer toys here. Anything from Generation 1 all the way to the soon to be released, the never to be released or the hope to be released is fair game! Want to show off your stuff? Please post your's and see others in the Transformers Collections Forum.

IS the encore line over?

Postby micah1199 » Mon Nov 02, 2009 10:48 am

The cassettes set 3 comes out this month and we haven't heard of any new encore releases. They usually will tell us the next set by now. Is it over folks?

Nothing's indeed announced after the cassettes, but that doesn't mean the line is over. Wait at least 6 months to a year with no single release before asking that ;)
The resident Rewind... well, half of one :lol:

Looking for:
- TR Furos (Hardhead's head) and Crashbash (lost him :()
- PotP Punch head
- TR Galvatron right arm (the gun one)

Very Unlikely. Just because they havent announced the next figure doesn't mean its over. I think they'd announce the end of the line if that were the case.

Besides I'm still waiting for Encore Blitzwing and Menasor. :grin:

Yeah, I think Takara is making a decent profit off Encore. They won't stop now, and if they did, they'd just call it something else and start reissuing figures.

You'll probably see something late next year, to keep things going between the end of the ROTF line and the start of the next movie line.

Takara tends to follow a certain schedule. IIRC Trailbreaker/Hoist came post Christmas (like the upcoming third casstte set)then the rest followed by April etc.) So more or less the next Encore would be coming by the same schedule.

I for one wish Takara will release Ramjet and Thrust(to complete my conehead collection)

How many times has encore "ended" or went on "hiatus" in the last few years. It seems like if a day passes without info on the line it's dead or ended.

Bottom line, Encore makes money pretty consistantly, and takes no brain power whatsoever to concieve, it will go on for a while.

Aren't Skids and Devastator still due to come out?

If so then I would say no, it's not dead.

I though Devastator was an unconfirmed Rumour?

Maybe the makers of the Devastator upgrade head know something we don't? :-?

It wasn't just unconfirmed, it was debunked. The site where the rumor originated wanted to be "in the news" for once and fabricated the image. The Constructicons at that Japanese toy show were either models or prototypes...

In short, no Devastator for Encore. For now...
