Re: Walmart G1 Transformers Toys Reissues Thread

Neither. I'd rather reissues from other lines instead. It's not like these even sell anyway going by the steep discounts on the other figures. It's just like the last few times they reissued G1 figures. They sell well for a few weeks then they clog shelves until they get marked down by around 80%.
Give me a Cybertron Galvatron reissue or another redeco of Tigerhawk or something. They'd sell just as poorly as the G1 figures but at least they'd be more interesting. Or do something similar like Takara did with Unicron of Light and reissue altered versions of exclusive figures from Botcon and the like. I'd love me a Deathsaurus and TM3 Megatron. Predacus, Terrorsaur, Dawn of Future's Past Maximals and Predacons, SG figures, Megazarak, Bugbite, Roulette and Shadow Striker, the list goes on and on.
I grew up on G1 figures, I bought the first bunch of reissues for about $4 each from Toys R Us, then I sold them a few years later as I realized how much I didn't actually like them. I moved on, so should Hasbro. There will always be a place for G1 reissues but Transformers is more than just G1 now and that's putting it mildly.
So in short, bring back the Universe line and don't limit yourself to just G1 reissues.
