Well, I already got mine...except, obviously, for Lawbhammer.
Could this rerelease be testing the waters for him finally getting a toy?
Or just some backstock being freed up for some reason? IDK how well this set sold the first time around. Maybe it underperformed with fans who'd just bought the G1 Selects Seacons?

Yeah when a third party retailer all of a sudden gets an item in stock that's that's been gone for well over a year, that is always puzzling. Where did these come from?
I'dove it if they happened to find a shipping container with a few dozen Super Megatron's so I can get him for a decent price.

It's not just for Transformers. I collect Pullip dolls and many that were thought to be discontinued for years and were sold for a fortune on eBay suddenly got restocked in many stores at normal retail or even on sale!

LMAO! In no universe is that worth $250. PSYCHOS!!!
The quality of these Hasbro & Takara products are no better than the cheap crap you find in Ollie's or a dollar store.
Thank God I was finally able to break my addiction to this junk. I originally wanted this thing the 1st time around but stopped myself because of the stupid insane price. I have Piranacon & the quality is definitely not worth the insane rip-off prices these psychos are charging.

Worth and Value are all subjective. There are literally hundreds of Transformers items I dont think are worth the asking price, so I dont get them, but that dosen't mean they wont sell. If you look at the price of any TT Unite Warriors set on eBay, they demand quite a hefty price. I'm glad I got God Neptune at its initial price, and because YMMV, it actually holds together better than my copy of Selects King Poseidon. BBTS wouldn't offer it for $250, if they thought nobody would purchase it, there's little doubt that some will.

This reminds me. It's been a while since we heard about anything new for the Select line.

I was worried as well, but the recent interview on Toys R Russ YouTube channel gives me some hope. I would think that a Burning Primal/Flash Leo Prime set would be highly likely sooner or later.

I really hope we get a Black Leo Prime, my Panther demands it.

Which color scheme, though, is the question. There have been multiple releases using the toy deco that was an inversion of the cartoon "Copy Convoy" deco, but said cartoon deco has never seen any release in toy form.chuckdawg1999 wrote:o.supreme wrote:I was worried as well, but the recent interview on Toys R Russ YouTube channel gives me some hope.

We are getting a black Leo Prime in the main line.

I continue to be confused by this reoccurring concern that Selects is dying, especially when the line is at a point where we're getting a Selects Titan for 2 years in a row. Like I get that there's less frequent/numerous announcements, but when you look at what's actually in the announcements, the overall value/budget is on par with the year's prior, it's just being allocated differently.
In fact, out of curiosity, I threw together the math to see how consistent the numbers are, since I imagine Hasbro as a business may be looking at it similarly: If we assume the 2 Selects we have leaked for this year thus far aren't necessarily the only Selects for the year (which is still very likely considering the number of other exclusives that are still mysteries), then the only comparatively light/"bad" year for Selects so far was 2021 (the one that would have potentially/presumably been most impacted by the pandemic), and if those two are actually all there is for this year, then it makes 2021 less of an outlier.
Also, for comparison's sake and to preemptively counter the argument of "but the price increases skewed those numbers", if we adjust 2021-now back down to 2019/pre-price-increase prices, it comes out to be 2021 at $204, 2022 at $274, and 2023 so far at $180. That puts last year's Selects straight in the middle of 2019 and 2020, which debunks the potential thought that the price increases were the reason Legacy's Selects offerings were on par with Earthrise and Siege+PotP.
TL;DR (or if you just don't like math I guess): Selects is doing just fine, the fact that quantity is being traded for bigger-ticket offerings is skewing people's perceptions.
....all that aside, I wonder if we're gonna see Antagony and Packrat turn up in Selects sometime this year, since they were rumored last year at the same time as the Omega Sentinel that we all-but-know is now in this line (unless my theory of the next Walmart subline being beast-themed comes to pass, in which case I would predict Antagony to actually pop up there).

I would very much like Packrat
And Cryotek
And Armada Thundercracker/super starscream or whatever it's called
Can't think of anyone else. I wouldn't get antagony, Inferno is enough for me but I hope they make it for those that have been asking. It'd be a shame if they didn't

That would be a nice set, especially since for some reason Takara has not done a Flash Lio with the Mp mold yet despite having Buring Convoy already.
I am hoping for more of the old Botcon beast repaints, from the 3H years. Antagony, Shockaract (when we get Rampage), Cataclysm, maybe more of the Covenant...

It still baffles me that Takara has never even released a toy version of Lio Convoy's green form from any Lio Convoy mold, since that was his final powered-up form in both BWII and Neo.D-Maximal_Primal wrote:o.supreme wrote:I was worried as well, but the recent interview on Toys R Russ YouTube channel gives me some hope.

Glyph and Tap-Out too. They'd be easy reuses of the Bumblebee and Cliffjumper molds.D-Maximal_Primal wrote:I am hoping for more of the old Botcon beast repaints, from the 3H years. Antagony, Shockaract (when we get Rampage), Cataclysm, maybe more of the Covenant...

Wouldn't a green lion be ugly as hell though?
Still, if it was his ultimate form, it would make sense to have him as a 2 pack with Burning Convoy.
There's high chances that such a 2 pack would be a Takara Tomy Mail exclusive.

Green lion is cool.
No, that 2-pack would not make sense. Burning Convoy was formed with Flash Lio Convoy. Primal was long gone back to his normal time by the time Lio Convoy Green was first formed, which is the fusion of Lio Convoy and Lio Jr in their final battle form. Green Lio should be an individual release.
