Well, it looks like Gear and Warpath are getting reissued through Walmart soon.

Finally 2 characters I don't have already from the Encore or TFC lines.

This news pleases me. Always wanted Warpath, my friend had him as a kid and I thought it was a cool toy.

Keep them coming Hasbro/Walmart. Although I don't know where to buy these from???? The first wave was easily bought from Robot Kingdom and the minibots from Cotton On. RK hasn't listed any others and I can only find the Optimus Prime reissue on ebay.

I got all of last years releases from Robot Kingdom. I'm sure they will get them eventually.

Makes me want to get Starscream, Hot Rod and Devastator now. My chances of getting those are long gone by now I spose.

If youre willing to pay bbts prices, they have those 3 in stock
Rk has devastator & the 4 pack of the minibots too.

The only Minibot I'm missing is Windcharger, fingers crossed he gets a run!

Gears was one of my very first Transformers so this carded release feels like a must have.

Gears and Warpath were released in the TFC Book reissues in 2004, so it's more likely we'll see their box-mates Cosmos, Powerglide or Huffer than Windcharger unfortunately.

I am going to have to get plenty of Warpath.

Wow, I didn't know that BBTS stocked them, that's great!

... looks at prices, Ouch!

Windcharger was retooled as a Keychain bot, though?

They did, which makes me ask why they can't use that moulds face template and some red paint. Fingers crossed, it would be nice to see something that we haven't had in the last decade.

Fingers and toes crossed! ;)

I'd dearly love to see carded version of Glyph, the blue bumblebee recolor. Or something we haven't had, like Seaspray. He's one of the few minibots never reissued, unlike characters like Seaspray and Warpsth who got encore releases

I think those keychains are a weird outlier - they got released a few times, and even used as Australian and overseas convention exclusives as I'm sure you'll hear about - but Takara have never re-released Brawn, Cliffjumper or Windcharger which you'd expect they would have if they could have.
