Hmm, I might actually repro-label over the autobot symbols... I like the old-skool chrome look more than the white.

That rocks hard.

I have always hated that you have to put stickers on over that area of Prime's arm. Those little rivit bumps make keeping the stickers there next to impossible in the long run.

QFT. I feel the same way.

If this is true...it will be awesome.

Form follows function, baby!

Convoy will be mine!!!

well it's weird because i agree since i missed out on the other reissues; HOWEVER, it IS true that they haven't finished the earlier reissue lines by releasing the completed sets, and as a result, these four have been reissued over and over again.

so i'm glad because i'm noob-esque and i want to get these, but i'm bummed out because they probably wont release all the ones they should.

Not that it really matters, I'm sure he'll be a little too expensive for me to think about. I have a G1 and G2 Op, so I'm pretty set there.
I'm all for reissuing more than once (I think those reissue Megatrons would fly off the shelves if they weren't so friggin' expensive!), but I wish they would do other characters. Maybe less Ops and Starscreams would mean more Trailbreakers and other second stringers.

Have to agree here, I'd like to see some other reissues like Trailbreaker and another shot at Ironhide perhaps.

Nice, but I was hoping they would have updated Prime with the new Music Label head sculpt.

YOU KNOW.. i realize the need for more reissues as i am all about them. There are two problems, most of the time, if we get a combiner, it is going to cost double what it sells for since hasbro has not wanted to come out with them. i enjoy being able to get a prime and not pay 120 plus for him, same with soundwave.. it will be nice to get one for 49.00 and a prime for 54.00.. while it is obvious they could reissue the dinobots as it isn't that hard to get a hold of the molds, esp since 3 of them are already out again and then you have the swoop one..

I don't feel like paying 400-500 or more for a fort max, i would love a reissue other then the brave maximus one that came out in 2001 for RID. If it knocks down the value of the originals for the collectors then ohh well, it isn't about you and how much money your toy is worth. There are plenty of people that would be happy with saying, i payed 100.00 for this. it still wouldnt be original as it would have the current year stamped on it... but it would be nice for those of us that couldnt find it back in the day and don't want to pay a fortune to get one.

i sell on ebay also and know about the rarity of the things, but it wouldnt make me mad if i had a fort max for 450 selling and you could get a reissue for 120.00 There would still be someone that wanted the original and not the reissue..i wouldn't lose any sleep over it. esp if i didnt'pay anythign for it or got it at a auction or something. They never made enough of the primes when they reissued them and you could never find them. There are plenty more charectors to release and i am hoping for them. but hasbro has sucked ass when it comes to the reissues
