I hope these appear here. I really want a G1 Soundwave (preferably single chest, but will get double if I see it). It's hard to get tf's when you don't buy over the net.

Hopefully the Encore Prime is similar to the TFC 00 one. That's pretty much the only one I need to finish the TFC set.

Reissues of Reissues...Where will it end? Not that I think it should end mind you. Why don't they produce more or keep production open longer the first time around?

I want that Megatron so badly. I already own the other sets from past reissues, but I want Megatron >:(

Does this appear fake to anyone else?

It just doesn't appear to be the sort of quality advertisement we'd expect from Takara.

I guess it's good that these will be availabel to those who missed them the first time around, but I just have that "been there, done that" attitude about these.

Odd that Soundwave is getting re-released so close after the double tape decked Soundblaster based Soundwave re-issue.

I'll get Soundwave. May get Starscream too, and have the US reissue in alt mode.

Even though i already have at least 2 versions of each character, i still will probably get these(i'm a sucker for reissues)...if BBTS decides to alter this megs as well, I will have to preorder elsewhere..

this prime will have the full length smokestacks right?

Yes. Only hasbro cuts off stacks...

I have two each of Starscream and Megatron, so I'll just stick with Soundwave and Prime. I hope that 'wave will indeed have the single-tape deck and Prime will have long stacks.

I'm mostly curious about the packaging, though. I'd love to have a Soundwave in an accurate G1 box regardless of what language is predominantly on it.

I agree, but i must admit im a little disapointed by there choice to do megs. This stems from the fact that they just did another run of TFC megs 2 or 3 months ago...y not do a different con like the much desired missing seeker reissues or (dare i say it) shockwave.

I wouldn't have minded the Black/Brown version of Megatron and maybe even a reissue of the anime color Starscream. Those two aren't as abundant as their original paint scheme versions.

I wasn't a big fan of the anime color Starscream because the colors just didn't feel right on the figure even though they looked good on the show. However, if I were going to buy another one, it would have been nice to have one that looks a little different than the others.

How are they doing Soundwave? I thought that Takara said the old mold was busted?

They'll probably handle it they way they did the TFC version of Soundwave. Based on what I have read, they basically used the Soundblaster mold and then changed the chest to only hold one tape. He was then given the Soundwave paint scheme.

The whole thing reminds me that I need to get a real Soundblaster figure, that black paint scheme looks great on him.
