I believe we've just been trolled by Has/Tak.
Whoever said anything about the molds being lost forever? You'll get the First Edition toys ... they just won't be in First Edition packaging when those molds come out at retail, kind of like how the First Edition Cliffjumper mold is being used for both Zombie versions, and the FE version of Megatron and the Starscream mold (as Skywarp) was used in the Arms Micron line. I'm sure they'll show up in some form or another in the Transformers Prime toy line at some point.
No, he means the Classics Voyager Prime mold, which was supposed to be lost forever due to mold degradation.
I misread that.
Comment still remains though ... whoever said anything about the Classics Prime mold having mold degradation? Wasn't it only used 6 times? (Classics, Ultra Magnus, SDCC, BotCon, Henkei, and transparent).
The mold started showing its age around SDCC Nemesis Prime and BotCon 2008, I read about alignment problems here and there with those two toys.
Don't have any problems with either of mine. This all sounds like fan assumptions that fans have said so many times that they consider it to be fact. Happens a lot in this fandom.
That's what I've been thinking this entire time in regards to 'mold degradation'. They retooled the Classics seeker mold to fix problems, after all.
As for these releases, I'm never interested in transparent figures, but I've wanted that Black Convoy for a very long time. Unfortunately I no longer have the money to afford expensive Japanese exclusive figures, so I will have to admire it lovingly from afar.
