Nah, some of us are just hurting from info overload Vol 1 is SDCC and later, HTS. Vol 2 is, well, pick an e-tailer!chuckdawg1999 wrote:I'm confused. Is the vol 2 set available at SDCC now as well?
So these are not the original molds brought back after all, but brand new molds altogether.Msging with Phil Donnelly, who said he asked John Warden about how they got the dinocassettes back.
They're completely new tooling.
They're extrapolated from the original wooden two-ups, so they should be fairly accurate to the originals, but...
...they are new tooling.
*reads up*
also that might be why the combined form doesn't have a mouth

Just goes to show how much Warden and his team love rare and obscure stuff from JG1 that they'd go to the trouble of making all new molds of super-rare Japanese-original cassette molds of Holy Grail status.

I paid a little more to get it in early but compared to the V2 preorder, it was only a $5 difference.
If you can score free shipping when HTS goes live for him, thats the real money saver!
