i try to take pics of my other tf reissues once i have the time

Jedi_Eeth_Koth · Jan 29, 2012

Very cool seeing all those TFC figures together.

GNT · Jan 30, 2012

Very neat collection, I wish Hasbro would release more G1 transformers. I haven't picked any up in ages now.

echoplex · Jan 31, 2012

I wish my boxes still looked like that. lol

Strikefoil · Feb 8, 2012

I really dont want to know how much money is tied into that collection.

Jedi_Eeth_Koth · Feb 8, 2012

At the level frodo is at, I'd be getting it all insured.

andrew8798 · Feb 15, 2012

Reports are that the next Encore Figure will be Sixshot

infinitifett · Feb 16, 2012

Glad I got mine back in 03. I think I paid about $55 for it at the time. They're talking about what - $130+ now for the rereissue? Hope eHobby churns out an Artfire repaint. Odd that Tak/Tom is starting to release things right around when third party groups are to do theirs...well maybe not. I think Hasbro's BIS Roddy came out right when Protector came out.

andrew8798 · Feb 16, 2012

Price for Sixshot looking around $130 for him

Jedi_Eeth_Koth · Feb 18, 2012

Encore price margins are just getting crazier. I mean, there are so many other more valuable items I can get with $130. :wtf:

Strikefoil · Feb 18, 2012

I can buy a few die cast cars in 1/18 scale for that.

DarthCaedus · Mar 10, 2012

wish they would redo more of the combiners. want to see superion, menasor, defensor, and computron.

Strikefoil · Mar 10, 2012

That would be cool to see.

Menasor definitely

I hear the KO combiners are pretty good quality if you can live with yourself (I could - I guess if I didn't already have the originals) Computron should be hitting the rounds soonish.

not a reissue but an awesome bot none the less one of the obscure versions of prime

g2 go-bot prime

my other go-bots

Jedi_Eeth_Koth · May 5, 2012

Those Go-Bots are nice. I really like alot of the late G2 stuff. Those even have the good old Kay-Bee price tag.

Jcc2224Cody · May 28, 2012

I'm curious as to the cheapest yet best Voyager scaled Optimus Prime form G1, I was thinking a classics, but I'm not sure which is cheapest. I'm also unsure on a good Megatron, Bumblebee, and Starscream.

Yes, I'm new to Transformers collecting.

Ebay may be your only bet...this is where I have been getting mine from.

andrew8798 · Jul 4, 2012

Preorder went up for Sixshot price is $150

Voyager Prime is a good 30 bucks if I can find one cheap, and I think I can...

andrew8798 · Jul 10, 2012

BBTS has put up the preorder for Sixshot

-Both guns are chromed
-Partial body has metallic paint.
-Brand new design box

$185

Too much money for me

GNT · Jul 10, 2012

That's more then what I'm willing to pay as well. I think I'll be passing on that one till they have a sale.

infinitifett · Jul 11, 2012

Makes me glad that I've been in the game since RID. I think I got my Sixshot reissue in maybe 2003 or 2004 for right around $60.

Jcc2224Cody · Jul 11, 2012

I got in the game during RID too... Transformers Prime RID. XD

I'm not really dedicated to getting a lot of true G1, but there are some Classics that peak my interest.

infinitifett · Jul 12, 2012

Haha...ya I'm old school man. I think it goes by PRID actually - well at least how I've heard it.

I haven't been keeping up with 3rd party stuff lately, but there's a Sixshot (forgot what he's called) in the works that should be cheaper and much more articulated then this one...

Jcc2224Cody · Jul 13, 2012

Meh, I'm not sure if I can afford 3rd party figures... I think I'll stick with Hasbro figures.

Loving how the new Generations Blaster and Grimlock look like they can fit in with classics.

Yak Face hanging with Jetfire

Cause that is how he rolls.....

CadBane · Sep 23, 2012

Wtf? They made a re-issue of Jetfire? Here's my G1 version.

No they did not re-issue him, but this is the thread to post anything G1 related.

On a side note, takara is making a re-issue Encore of Fort Max......

Which you can preorder here:

Encore: #23 Fortress Maximus - Transformers Encore Reissues Encore Reissues

Only $350, really is a good deal.

andrew8798 · Oct 3, 2012

Not a bad price

Jcc2224Cody · Oct 3, 2012

Wow... 350 for a Fort Max... never thought I'd see the day.

I'd get it if I cared. XD

GNT · Oct 4, 2012

Never been a Fort Maximus fan so i'll prob pass on that one.

Jcc2224Cody · Oct 6, 2012

Went to a Flea Market in my area and got a chance to glance upon a G1 Sixshot in the flesh. The guy was asking 22 bucks for a freaking Gen. Kup, so I didn't even want to ask about Sixshot. But once I said "This is Sixshot!" one of the guys said "He identified him on the spot"... assuming they, or others, had some trouble. XD

andrew8798 · Oct 26, 2012

BBTS now has preorders up for these Hasbro G1 Reissues

Astrotrain
