- Gurafi/Graphy and Noizu/Noise come with an extra red guy
- Red and blue already come with Buzzsaw and Ravage

Info overload can do a lot with me...
Ok, let's try this again:
G1 Vintage Series
Ravage & Rumble (red)
Laserbeak & Frenzy (blue)
Gurafi & Noizu, with Frenzy (blue)
Dairu & Zauru, with Rumble (red)
Studio Series
19 Retro Rock Garage: Bumblebee, Dairu & Uruaz
20 Retro Pop Highway: Bumblebee, Zauru & Uriad
No matter how you cut it, one still ends up with doubles.

The colors look identical to me, the only difference I can see between the two is the new head deco that I can't figure out the reference to. It's definitely not cartoon accurate (otherwise they'd have swapped the names).
Walmart reissue
3 Pack
Rumble

Hmm... Maybe the 3-pack swapped the dark blue for purple? Hard to say.
...I just noticed that the 3-pack Two-Tone Blue Guy on display has missassembled legs

This worked out reasonably well for me. I don't already have the dino cassettes, nor do I have Rumble and Frenzy, and this way I can get all of them without having duplicates of Ravage and Laserbeak

As I mentioned in the other thread, it looks like they were supposed to paint his optics red, and someone confused the dot on his forehead for his optics.
The whole thing makes no sense, because if this was supposed to be the toon version, they would have called him Rumble with the Walmart one being Frenzy.

Did they lose the molds for Overkill and Slugfest? Because those two would have gone really well with these reissues.
Still, it's nice to see these guys finally widely available, and the price seems fairly reasonable as far as reissues go, though I do feel a little sorry for those who shelled out for one or both of the Retro Pop Highway sets and are feeling burned right now (though I do think the clear Decepticon versions of the cassettes are pretty cool, and I'd love it if they got their own separate rerelease).
...Slamdance and Squawkbox next, please?

Those molds are still around, they got reissued in the Encore line.

That would have been a great idea, better than double dipping Frenzy

Dinocassettes proving that "lost molds" doesn't have to be what stops a reissue since these are new toolings of the old designs.
Not saying to crack open your wishful thinking catalog since cassettes are going to be much cheaper to make molds for than other toys given their small size and parts count, just saying that if they think the money's there to justify it they can reissue whatever they want.

Well, in Dile and Zaur's case it helped that they actually found the original templates used to make the molds. That saved a lot of effort.
