The flap has been a staple of G1 toy boxes since the beginning. The G1 Optimus w/ trailer box even had one.ZeldaTheSwordsman wrote:ZeroWolf wrote:I think you're underestimating trolls on the net who would revel in everyone believing it, then just pulling the rug out from everyone.
Well, I'm not. I was pointing out that 1984forever was completely ignoring that possibility.
So, these are just stacked on the shelves instead of hung from pegs? Then the box design is f***ing stupid. The whole smegging point of having the top flap is to hang the box from a peg! If they're not doing that then the flap is a needless counterproductive protrusion! And of course it means you can't cut it off to allow for better stacking and storage without ruining the art on the back... Nice planning, Hasbroken!

One of the points of these reissues is to recreate the original look of the original packaging as closely as possible, back flaps and all, regardless of any and all opinions about said original packaging.ZeldaTheSwordsman wrote:Doesn't make it any less dumb to put it on boxes where it won't be used, Sabrblade.

Uh huh. And as I said, pulling off this particular prank has a monetary deterrent to it. My intuition is more than enough to carry the weight that my logic can’t lift.ZeldaTheSwordsman wrote:shajaki wrote:I'd actually love to see that. The quality of the last Brutireissue was awful.

Part of the problem there is mold wear. Let's see, the Combaticons have been used how many times?
* Hasbro G1 Bruticus
* Takara G1 Bruticus (counting separately because of Onslaught)
* Battle Gaia
* G2 Bruticus
* Car Robots Baldigus
* RiD Ruination
* Urban Camo Ruination
* Desert Camo Ruination
* Encore Bruticus
Kinda a lot. So it's no wonder the molds are worn. However, even if Hasbro did do another reissue and refresh the molds into the bargain... I would still be inclined to save up for the Encore version instead. Unless Hasbro had a change of heart about the base-mode launcher and actually included the darn thing instead of the dummy filler piece.shajaki wrote:I'm not trying to argue against this things legitimacy (since now it's confirmed), but I would like to point out that there's fan made custom boxes and reproduction boxes all over the interwebs.

Also, as I said before, Hoaxes. Are. Also. Done. For. Pranks. Profit is not a necessary part of the equation.
Not that it matters in this particular case since it's legit, but your logic was still faulty 1984forever.

I'll second that. WutZeldaTheSwordsman wrote:Starscream has a new head?

Nope. He's the same. Only change is painted eyes.

That make a whole lot of difference because that eye sticker is BOWL-SHEEAYT.
