Have an opportunity to get some TRU G1 Repro's. Which ones do you guys think I should buy, both to have, and maybe sell down the line? Thanks for the advice.

Can't go wrong with anything that ends in Prime, especially for resale value. The Encore line has reduced the price of Optimus Prime though.

If you can grab any of them , go for the ones you like the looks of, as I said before the Encore line has dropped the value of the TRU re-issues by quite a bit.

As the takara reissues are of better quality, i would say to go for the ones that takara has not reissued yet that hasbro has.

One would be Grapple, the yellow crane guy person bot thing.

The other is the Green.. um. looks like a blazer, i forget his name.

Are you aware of the differences between the takara reissues and the hasbro reissues?

Ok, so I picked up Ultra Magnus, Optimus, Starscream, Skywarp, and Jazz. He had all the other TRU Reissues, except Astrotrain, Soundwave (which I have), and two other ones. Seeing all 18 of them made me wish that I wasn't between jobs and on a budget right now.

You mean Hoist.

The Hasbro's G1 TRU exclusive reissues are more affordable than Takara's , but there are some that Hasbro haven't released that Takara already has. You may find them on ebay Barrelass.

Yea, I just fear that now that I have these, I am gonna want them all. If I had the cash, I would have bought a lot more today. $20 each wasnt that bad though (In my mind). Just wondering if I can hold back from opening them.

Pace yourself by getting them. Especially when any of them are affordable get it if you can. I open them but I don't apply the stickers. At first I transform them four times the most. No more after that. Don't want their joints to get loose or the paint to chip later. I take them out of the box from time to time to look at them for fun. Then put them back in their boxes.
