Transformers G1 Reissue Line News: Skywarp Coming + Interview with Hasbro About that Line's Future

YES!

And I do hope SW will come soon enough.

A definite maybe if I see one.

Here are some photos:

They are on Pulse as well. $30 for one Insecticon!!! That's crazy. I paid the same amount for the whole Platinum set, and that wasn't that long ago. Granted it was on clearance at a closing K-Mart but still...

I find that price acceptable for a seeker or even Hound.

But a SINGLE Insecticon? Holy fok.

Wait, which reissue are you referring to? Cuz the Universe reissue set of the three did release at TRU, alongside Perceptor.

$45 bucks!!!! for a single insecticon?

Is that what the US price works out to down there? Ouch.

They are the same price as voyager figures.

Understandable for the seekers because they have the parts and size to be voyager, and it's even understandable for Hound, who is small but hefty and have lots of stuff with him.

But the G1 Insecticon barely count as a small deluxe of today and it just have a gun and a cube. They could have at least put in some more original accessories to justify the price. Like why not a human figurine, Army-Men type but painted?

The Insecticons are $5 less than a Voyager in the US.

Those Insecticons are expensive…
And yet I’m considering them because they’d be the only ones I’d get.
For me, they look the best out of any so far.
