F**k yea!

Put me down for Sixshot, Hound, Predaking & Metroplex. I always hated I missed Classics Hound. And the G1s are some of my faves that have yet to make their way into my collection due to funding issues.(and how hard it is to find them MISB, I don't keep them that way, but I like my figures to be shiny new when I get them.)

Affordable Predaking anyone?

That is really good news. Get your preorders in quick, these will go fast!

I need that Sixshot...

G1 Predaking
Didn't they just reissue that 5 years ago?
G1 Sixshot
Dear God please.
Universe 2.0 Hound & Ravage
I still have that at the K-Mart down the street. Just saying.
Classic/Henkei Optimus Prime
Didn't that mold evaporate yet?
G1 Metroplex
Again? Hopefully as Metrotitan this time...
Universe 2.0 Cyclonus
Again, I still have that at the K-Mart down the street. Just saying.
Cybertron/Galaxy Force Primus
I'm thinking unlikely. It's only 4 years old and it would need to come with Planet Keys. On the other hand, it might move better now with the War for Cybertron line.

I can finally buy Hybrid Galaxy Convoy for a decent price, Yay!

Maybe I'll get Henkei Hound also, But is he really that much better than the Universe version?

Might as well fire up the molds if they're sitting around somewhere. It took a while for Predaking to sell out ... but once he did, his prices skyrocketed.

Sixshot was reissued in 2002.

I 100% agree. Bring on the e-Hobby Metrotitan. I have a spare Micromaster Skystalker I'd donate for them to remold into Metrotitan's Micromaster.

G1 Predaking?

Gimme gimme gimme gimmme gimme gimme gimmme

Henkei Hound is the best version of him ever, the universe Hound is poor by comparison.

Hmm...I wouldn't mind picking up a second Sixshot. Or a third.

It was one of the last near identical G1 reissues produced in the early 2000s by Takara Tomy. It came out around the same time as New Year Convoy.

This time I will buy 2 Predakings since I missed the last reissue; One to open and the otherto keep misb for investment purposes. Now if only they would reissue the Gen. combiner bots and Fortress Maximus. Takara can't saythey dont have the parts because a high quality Defensor knockoff is already made and for sale on ioffer.com.

Hmmm... Norton tells me this about ACToys:

Site is Unsafe
19 Computer threats

.... along with a BIG RED X


I shall not be visiting this site LOL!


.

FFFUUUUCCCCC YESS!!!

*hopes desperately*

I would also like a ehobby reissue of Greatshot.

Reissue Predaking, please.

I don't own Sixshot. I would love to pick him up. I am all about getting reissues of G1 guys.

mmm sixshot is a must have - have been drooling over him since about 1987

i had to console myself when quickswitch came out (who was not half as cool as his daddy by the by)

predaking - i recall wanting him as a kid cos the advert was cool - might be too expensive and am not a big fan of animal formers (still want mp grimlock tho)

universe prime - i accidentally ordered the deluxe one thinkin it was this (ebaying when tired is not a good idea) so hopefully this version will be more affordable than what's out there

cyclonus and hound - i have the hasbro versions which are amongst the best classics ever. don't care much for the henkei chrome

metroplex - mmm might consider him - my original is very dirty and has lots of parts missing, my sister trampled on poor scamper back in 88 : (

hybird style galaxy convoy?!

my fourth most wanted transformer of all time?! HELLS YES!

Primus??Really??
Oh yeah!

Be nice if this was a sign of things to come. Like other previously released reissues coming out again.

Would love to get a G1 Ultra Magnus and God Ginrai as I missed them the last time.

Put me down for Metrotitan and Greatshot as well.

Sixshot and Prowl got me into collecting the toys again a little over 7 years ago. Had never seen Sixshot before, just heard the name. Despite the packaging being in Japanese, I still had a pretty good idea who he was.

Got Predaking when he was last reissued. Have the white, red and orange KO as well and I have to say, the KO colour scheme is a lot cooler then the G1. Rampage's tiger mode looks great in white.
