$50 with no trailer or roller, but with TWO guns ...
![Frustration :BANG_HEAD:](./images/smilies/bang_wall.gif)
Also, the grey/gray on OP for the stripe looks weirdly metallic.
Okay is it just me, the video or what, but does the red on OP look rather pink-ish?
I'm soo glad that I found a 100% complete authentic G1 pre-rubsign in a rather worn box for $100 at the toy show an hour away from me.

Saves me from buying things like this.

$100AUD through an Australian based online retailer.
As much as I'd like it, I simply cannot justify that much money.
At that price, might as well double the amount and BAPE.
Damn, you Aussies get the short end of the stick regarding prices of toys and video games...

Be very, VERY sure it's genuine. Because G1 OP have been KO'd since forever.

The box looks the same as it did when news of this G1 Optimus reissue first dropped back on Dec. 15th, rounded corners and all.
I love being right.

Understandable, considering it doesn't happen very often.

But in the Bee movie he did have his trailer, his truck mode wasn't seen without it, IIRC.

True, but across the movie franchise, its not a necessary part of him, which was more my point. A lot of kids these days don't always see Optimus Prime and expect a trailer.
Got it. But if we were speaking strictly 80s hype for the Bee movie, then he should come with a trailer, as he did in the 80s and as he was in the only movie (so far) set in the 80s.

Fc203 has directed us to
InDemandToy's Facebook page which has a post revealing two more future Walmart Vintage G1 Reissues – Gears and Warpath! They will be joining the upcoming
Soundwave and the already released
Optimus Prime reissues. Two minibots certainly don't make a case, though, so we will have to wait and see which other diminutive Autobots join them. We have mirrored the images below and the original post can be found
here on InDemandToy's Facebook Page.

Are you getting excited for the next batch of reissues or has the pricing of the Optimus Prime reissue made you reconsider? Drop us a line below on the
Energon Pub here at Seibertron.com!

I wonder if the next Minibots we'll see are Huffer, Powerglide, and Cosmos. They, along with Gears, Warpath, and Bumblebee, were all part of another multi-pack of Minibots Takara released back in 2004 as part of "The Transformers Collection." It is a little bit of a shame, though, that they released the "Encore" versions of Bumblebee, Outback, Tailgate, and Swerve first, so now we're spoiled by updated G1 toys with new, improved sculpting and more extensive paint details. It looks like Gears is his original G1 toy self, featuring a mostly feature-less face.

I’ll bite for Warpath. I just got a vintage Gears while I was on holiday block leave so I’ll be okay.
Looking forward to Soundwave. Don’t need Optimus, got the 2008 reissue to scratch that itch.

50 bucks?!?! One word - rollback. No way that sells through at $50. I'll wait until it's $30.

Why don't we blame this on Bay as well? He already 'ruined our childhood' so maybe he killed any hope the next generation had before they even realized it.

A lost generation. Lost to a pocket dimension or something when Optimus Prime transformed, because they were in the trailer.
![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)
Anyway if they do four Minibots again my money's on Pipes and Bumblebee again.

I don't know how they would do it if the mold is gone but I'd really like to see a re-issue of Grimlock.
It seems like there has to be a way.

The only surprising Minibot reissues would be Beachcomber, Hubcap, or Bumblejumper. Cliffjumper and Brawn to a lesser extent since there were the various keychain reissues. Kudos to them on these for putting out stuff not reissued outside of Japan!

Good to see Warpath, though he looks a bit awkward in the packaging. Hopefully with Soundwave (and Buzzsaw) being released we will seeing the other cassettes being reissued
