Don't think they will ever give permission to use the Roadbuster and Whirl molds.<BR/><BR/>Actually, I think the TFC era is the best time to start collecting/ re-collecting Transformers. You can get series 1 and 2 stuff for a steal. I remember back in 1999 before all these reissues, that a G1 Megatron in crap condition can still cost anHeroic Decepticonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18017245701029351849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2683625406708498876.post-35545707734065062002008-04-13T18:27:00.000+08:002008-04-13T18:27:00.000+08:00Yeah, along with Jetfire....

Sadly I only started collecting G1 when the TFC reissues started. So far I only have Megatron, Optimus, Starscream, Astrotrain, Soundwave/Laserbeak, Hot Rod, Sideswipe, Ratchet, the 3 Insecticons, KO Metroplex and Fastlane, which is vintage but lacking the accesories.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2683625406708498876.post-19990676523670391312008-04-12T21:02:00.000+08:002008-04-12T21:02:00.000+08:00I think they at first were focusing on Season 1 an...I think they at first were focusing on Season 1 and 2 but that is not always true.

I'm not sure whether Takara will ever release a Victory Saber, but they sure are dishing out some very surprising reissues of late.<BR/><BR/>I would previously have wagered an arm and a leg that the likes of Sky Lynx, Omega Supreme, Jetfire, the Deluxe autobots and Deluxe insecticons will <I>never</I> be reissued.

You never know whether TakaraTomy will reissue the characters..... I reckon Victory Saber might get an Encore in a few years' time. I actually prefer reissues rather than vintage ones due to the difference in condition and packaging, and reissues are sometimes more affordable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2683625406708498876.post-1329338500919774602008-04-11T05:27:00.000+08:002008-04-11T05:27:00.000+08:00Yeah, its strange that they have not reissued any...Yeah, its strange that they have not reissued any of the combiners other the the micromaster ones.<BR/><BR/>You mean you want to buy the loose Victory Saber?<BR/><BR/>If you look closely its not in the best of conditions.
