Little iffy on making a deal not on seibertron but elsewhere. I just need some veteran advice.I got a SDCC classics nemesis prime MIB,classics voyager optimus prime loose complete awesome shape, classics deluxe cliffjumper complete loose, and mp g1 starscream.

Now I'm big into g1 reissues and I was offered the following reissue hasbro figures for the ones above skywarp, thundercracker, grappel, inferno and smokescreen, all are mib do u think that would be a straight up deal..

I'm probably gonna do the deal but all them classics are hard as hell to get anymore especially them molds.

Personally I'd keep everything that you have. What you have is a tad more exclusive and more in demand than those Reissues.

Yeah that's what I thought I've been trying 2 get alot of the reissues tonight I just ordered a tru ultra magnus misb for 96.00 bucks and I'm just gonna keep buying them 1 by1 I got alot of g1 non reissues including those characters but I somehow missed out on the whole reissue craze due to work and the fact that I didn't know they had transformer websites for collectors. So I didn't know the value of everything I got I'm 29 years old. I work too much and have a busy life.

I'd have to agree with Blurrz: you might me better off holding on to what you've got, based on value. I'm not that impressed with the Hasbro reissues, and well, at the end of the day they are reissues, while what you have are all 'originals'.
Still, most important factor should really be which ones you are going to enjoy most looking at, and considering you are into G1 figures, you could do worse than this trade.

True I'm supposed to mail out today as in Wednesday but second thoughts if he would throw in like a couple more definately . But I paid too much for these and u can't buy them they are sold out. Now the reissues are at alot of the websites . So I dunno. If anyone wants them show me a better deal lol. I only need 3 classics rodimus, ramjet and megatron to finish the base set but god bless g1 and all the memories lol.

Nope don't do it, the Classics Prime mold and all it's versions are far cooler than those reissues plus those guys get reissued regularly plus they are easy to comeby especially TC and SW, I think HLJ still has the TAK reissues for them on sale.

THose are all fairly common TRU re-issues. Common as in, they were mostly on sale for deluxe prices at the end of the TRU re-issue craze.

In the end, it depends on what you think you will enjoy more. AS was said, G1 seems to be getting re-issued more and more. Encore versions of Skywarp and TC are not hard to find online.

Keep the stuff you've got - those reissues aren't going to suddenly vanish. Back when I was into reissues, the amount of times I felt burnt later because I'd dived into a deal was frightening. Don't do anything you'll regret later.

And are far more faithful to the originals, haing the correct sized missiles. Not to mention they come in a rather awesome twinpack.

Are the reissues with the looooooong missiles? Ugh, get the Encore versions instead.

Thanks I'm not going to do it then. I'll back out. And buy them seperatley . All the classics molds are more expensive and harder too find. And reissues I see everywhere.

I think that's a smart move. I think you'd regret it otherwise!
