Oh! Too friggin' awesome!

But hopefully that Japanese Astrotrain won't remain white. I really want an anime colored one.

lets break out the list of Transformers that will never be reissued again!!!

Megatron- No.... US toy safety laws
Sky Lynx- NO... Takara doesn't own the mold
Omega Supreme- Better chance of Elvis coming back
SOundwave- The Mold is broken... NEVER
Predaking- Wasn't popular in Japan

hhhhhhmmmmm....... Can we officially put the "So and So will never be reissued" lists to rest now? It seems like anything can happen! wwwwwwwooooooo!!!!!!!!!

(still waiting on Wheeljack and Grimlock thou)

Who want's to buy a car if he could get them things?
I'm so fu**ing sold on em all, those classics look so much better than the originals, I want OS and I'll be calling him "My precious"!
Just like the rest of the new classics. =P~

I disagree to a small extent. I don't think Classics Prime, Mirage, Bumblebee or Starscream look any better than their US counterparts. In fact, I think Starscream and Bumblebee look worse.

Grimlock and Omega are seriously awesome though.

True looking at SSs blasters, the shiny crome is kinda ugly on that spot, I think he's missing a blue nose cone?
But still Mirage and the others as I said they were never released over here, plus that Prime looks way better than what mine looks like after the many times I have transformed him.

Man... and I just bought a G1 OS last year. Now I'm tempted to sell mine for parts and get a new one.

Front paged...and for those that want to order them, look no further than site sponsor BBTS! :grin:

Damn straight!
Now as far as the other toys that need a re release. Lets talk
Shockwave
Dinobots
Wheeljack
Mirage
Lets also see them released in the stores. I could only imagine going into TRU and buying G1 toys :O) Brings smiles to my face.
Why doesnt Takara reissue the Diaclone toys w/drivers. That would be beyond sweetness. One can only imagine the possibilities the molds must still exist in some form. Re issue the Mc-13 Megatron, Diaclone Battle Convoy and Powered Convoy the list goes on.

Interesting but not buyin em.

Pre-ordered the mini-bot set but I think I'll pass on Omega. I was never a fan of that character or toy.

I respect your opinion, but I have to ask: "Why?". He is pretty big fan favorite, I don't think I've ever heard of someone not caring for him....

That said I do admit his character development is a little shallow...

Just curious,
I.P.

I don't care for him. The toy looks lame.
