Encore #11 Thundercracker and Skywarp Set, And Encore #12 Metroplex on BBTS

Damm, SW and TC encored. While I should be more excited about Metro, Im really looking foward to some more seekers. Too cool.

Very cool, and the price for pre-order is even cooler. But I'm till very afraid of BBTS's shipping rates to my neck of the woods. Still its nice Takara decided to re-issue him.

I'm still waiting for an encore Blitzwing though.

there are a fair few ko metroplex's out there aint there lol. I should know, i have an origional one, and a KO (and to be fair, there is very little to no difference). Saying that, im gonna have to buy the new reissue as well lol

Waits for confirmation of that!

Anyone think the rest of the bases are gonna get some Encore love, I still need a Scorponok, and would hate to shell out $250 on Ebay just to have him reissued for $100.

Anything is possible, although I hope they do not go to Metrotitan... I'm greedy like that.

Totally seconded on Scorponok. (I'm too tired to kick myself for getting a vintage Metroplex). But when that happens, I'll be kvetching for a Black Zarak.

I can actualy sypathize with that. I got 2 vintage Omegas figuring he'd never come back and look what happened. Add the sheer rarity of MetroTitan to that and ouch!!!!!!

I'm all for non-KO reissues. I love the fact that so many fans are getting a second chance at ownership and newer fans are getting to see these intial bots and understand the roots of why we love these things so much

But something vintage, that's very rare, that you struggled to find and payed a fortune for...

Well, bragging rights aren't deminished, if anything, you get a whole new clip of "OH YEAH..." to fire off!

Just on a personal level, I know how it just kinda lessens the figure in your case to you, cause now everyones got it.

Lots of figures have gone that way, take the shine that left MP StarScream as soon as you picked up your G1 colored version...

Why can't they make an encore reissue of Fortress Maximus?? .... I mean c'mon $1,200.00 for an original on Ebay is CRAZY!!!! I much rather pay a couple hundred for a (non knock-off) reissue.

I was hours away from ordering a C8 G1 Metroplex from Transformerland.com...and now THIS. The encore line is single-handedly giving me all the G1 TFs I've never had the chance to buy before!

Preordered tonight!

That's where I bought mine. The ones in stock now are technically a higher grade than the one I bought.

Also, here's a point of speculation -

Will the reissue have rubber tires and chrome or just plastic?

Seekers preordered.

My preorder list over there is getting really, really long.
