I kinda prefer that. Having dropped $300+ on the set two years ago, I don't mind a little change.

All the other reissues have stayed true to original form or improved their cartoon accuracy. I'd hate to see them start attempting to make reissues different from their G1 versions just for the sake of being different after 10 years of reissuing...

SDCC Blaster seems to be pretty true to the original. Besides, it's not like Hasbro is going crazy and painting Optimus pink or releasing Soundblaster as Soundwave. Because that's crazy talk, and I won't hear it.

Speaking of which, when is BBTS going to open Blaster pre-orders? I'm an impatient man, and I'd rather not go through shadyguy64 on ebay.

Uhm, they did? Classics Soundwave? And wasn't 25th Anniversary Prime kind of pinkish?

Dat's exactly how I remember both...but then Prime's on the top shelf over my computer, and Soundwave's just a look over my left shoulder, on the top shelf on my left.

why the hell did they do the legs that orange color? I was hoping they would take all the green parts and make g2 colors

i was refering to the silver legs that were supposed to be released this month

I know, but I want G2 yellow legs, and I thought it was strange that they have preorders for a bunch of g1 add ons, 2 g2 add ons and 1 g2 (orange) add on for the legs

The box at Botcon says yes, the page at BBTS doesn't even mention them.

As for the news itself...I'm angry.

Was $49.99 and now it'll be $68.28 with shipping.

I knew the $50.00 price tag was too good to be true. -_-

For that price, it better have the stands. If I open that box and the set's not complete, I will demand a refund, and not one of their store credits either, I'll go to the BBB if I have to.

I'm that angry.

bbts description answered my question...lol

This amazing exclusive comes packaged in an awesome collector gift-box, includes collector cards, includes all 6 figures needed to form Piranacon, 5 black display stands for the 5 smaller figures, and individual weapons for each figure. This is the first time Piranacon has ever been reissued with the G1 color scheme.
