Ok this may be noobish of me, but i want to expand my collection as I'm up to date with my masterpiece collection. I'm not interested in Takara Tomy Encore line, The Commemorative Series and The Transformers Collection line but instead I'm looking at toys similiar in release to the re-issue of 2012 Sixshot. (To those that don't already know Sixshot is not an encore, it was incorrectly labelled that way upon release)

Can anyone help me find a list containing toys similiar to Sixshot, i've been googling but what i find is irrelevant and links me to other list containing different toys.

Predaking maybe? That's a pretty unique reissue style. The Transformers Collection reissues and Hasbro's Commemorative Series reissues also came in book boxes, but not like that.

Hmm yeah i was speculating that this might be a one-off kind of thing as it was an "Animation-Comic-Game Hong Kong" convention exclusive.

Not sure how much you want to spend or whether you want them, but theres some nice re-colours out there, Like the Anime Astrotrain, Diaclone Ultra magnus, Anime Galvatron, Red Tracks, Black Ironhiide, Black Perceptor, the list goes on!

The cool thing I like about the eHobby repaints is:
(a) Many of them are reissues of G1 toys in their original Pre-Transformers Diaclone and Microman colours.
(b) Many of them are new characters, expanding and enriching the G1 universe. :D

Not sure if this is the kind of suggestion you are looking for, but when I am stuck as in where to go next with my collecting I try and get every version of a particular character. For instance in the odd lull I have been trying to get every version of Shockwave, Swindle and Grimlock. I don't even attempt to do that with the more popular characters such as BBee, O-Prime etc as there are just too many!

One not so good thing about ehobby stuff though is it costs so much. The every incarnation of a character is a cool suggestion but, it has to be a character you really like otherwise you'd prolly get bored and just won't care pursuing it. One off reissues like exclusive packaging Sixshot will be not an often occurence. If worse comes to worse, save your money and buy the epic Fort Max. I know you said you're not into. Encore, but that figure is a must get.

The masterpiece line is about to explode, MP12-MP15(and MP16?) all scheduled for inside the next 6 months. that should keep you busy for a little while.

Yeah i've already set aside a budget for them, but even so i like to get 1-2 big tfs per month and make an epic display one day. I've considered fort max, but this stage, he doesnt appeal to me as much (especially the cost) :eek: As i would most likely try and buy an original if i ever do. I'm thinking about 2010 takara tomy unicron and primus ($300 odd each inc postage)
