Rumour: New Transformers Sets From Target

It's funny how Hasbro are very happy to repaint all the new molds, yet they avoid the reissues. I'm sure stuff like a G1 Acid Storm ect has potential, especially through the Collectors Club.

It's what the kids want apparently

I vote instead of releasing repainted ROTF figs till they're blue in the face, and repeating over and over until their own faces are repainted green due to how sick even they are of their damn uninspired repaints...maybe they should instead put out, say, Animated Blackout considering they put so much money into its design and engineering and all. And it's still a friggin' whacktastic movie character so everybody wins!

You may be making it up but it happens to be EXACTLY what I was thinking.

It's not like these packs are cheapies, either - if I was a parent, I wouldn't want to spend that money on figures my kid may already have in a slightly different colour... [/color]

You are right about the reduction. I've gotten 2 of the Legends packs at obscene clearance prices and if I go in when my mother goes shopping (she retired from Target a few years back) I can have her pick it up for 10% off the clearance price. And you're right about a parent not wanting to spend that kind of money on a repaint pack. My youngest son is still collecting Transformers and for stuff like repaints, he's on his own. That's what saving up the allowance is for.
