And of course, still not sure why they haven't done Artfire, since the Inferno mold is available. Please add Artfire to the G1 reissue collection!
Yeah... while I'm siding with gothy (don't forget Targetmaster Hotrod, and Golden Lagoon MP-10), the new Encore Unicron is quite different from the Lucky Draw.gothsaurus wrote:I believe you when you say they said that... but they do it all the time. From Stepper on down to this new green Unicron. I'm sure those original TEN (?) exclusives will go down in price. But they have some slight differences, so it seems like a good compromise.
I think that's where the answer is. Making some deliberate, slight changes — like Tampos — so you can tell the reissue is not a vintage toy.

Accidentally.

I've been going back and forth FOREVER on the Takara Collection version, but if I can get this one for what should be a relatively decent price I'll be happy. I'm not sure how or why I don't have G1 Starscream (other than my old G1 Pretender) but I really need to pick this one up.-Kanrabat- wrote:Even if I already have Encore Starscream, I'd like to have that special release.

Maybe not Arcee, but they did built a complete prototype of G1 Unicron. (Phoneposting so no pics)

Yeah, that's why one of its arms was shifted down at BotCon 1996 when that that prototype was first on display. The arm was too flimsy for it to stay up in its proper position (the properly-transformed one seen at BotCon 2009 must have had its arms held up via some extra support).-Kanrabat- wrote:Sabrblade wrote:And what a delicate fragile thing it was.-Kanrabat- wrote:Sabrblade wrote:You mean the things that were never completed and therefore don't exist in any finalized form to be released?-Kanrabat- wrote:One thing I'd really love to see in this line are the UNRELEASED G1.

He was? Because he looked like a THICC BOI.

I wouldn't worry too much bud. While watching TRU.ca, things go in and out of stock, up and down from the site all the time. Especially when they're new. It's not even out yet so it'll be backitscramtastic wrote:Just a heads up, now I'm getting a Page Cannot Be Found on the Starscream.

Sadly that's probably more accurate than we'd like to believe.
