Depending on how cheap and how available they are, I might end up getting 3 sets. My tapes are getting pretty old and tired now and probably don't have long left so one set to play with, one to keep MOSC and then maybe a set for my son, though that would mean I'd have to let him have my spare Soundwave.

More great news....problem is where to buy? Optimus Prime is only available on eBay. Gears and Warpath have hit US shelves but nothing anywhere else. What happened to RK? They only received the 1st wave.

I might shoot them an email, I thought they would definitely keep stocking these.

cheers for that. let us know what they come back with.

[Tha_Phantom]

I'm definitely in for these and everyone I've spoken to has said the same.

[UltraMarginal]

I'm going to find it extremely hard to resist buying these.

[TaZZerath]

Teeeeeeemptiiiiiiinnnnggggg.......

If Ratbat gets released like this i'll definitely be all over it.

[Jazzman]

Woot woot!!! I'll be in for a couple of sets of each! :D

any updates from RK?

[GoktimusPrime]

As with the Autobot Mini-Cars I'll grab these if they become locally available but ceebs to import. I already have the original G1 cassettes plus Japanese reissues -- I'd only be getting these to keep them MOSC and... yeah... not gonna pay a premium for that.

Not yet though I suspect Chinese New Year is impacting their response times.

[Galvatran]

Fingers crossed these show up at Cotton On.

Could explain the board meltdown last night???

Just as well none of them ever had any tape in them. They last much longer without. ;)

I wonder if we'll get to buy these nifty things from a trendy clothes store, like with mini-vehicles. That was an odd yet refreshing experience.

[FatalityPitt]

I wonder if Cotton On will stock these. I'd love to get my hands on Ravage. I had Ravage about 2-3 years ago, but had to sell him (with Soundblaster and Laserbeak) to be able to afford some Titans Return stuff at the time. I regretted it afterwards.

Still waiting on a reply from RK as to whether they are stocking this year's G1 reissues. Have sent a follow up one tonight.

[Raider]

Do we have any word yet on whether any of these reissues (other than the minibots) are going to make it to retail here? I would love to get these cassettes but not really interested in the crazy shipping costs.

Got this response from RK:

Hello Customer,

Thank you for your email.

The item still not yet instock in our region.

Please be patient and wait for updates.

I was just asking whether it would be put up for pre-order. So not really informative.

I'd read into that to say that they will end up putting them up at some stage.

I hope so. To me you wouldn't wait for them to be in stock before putting them up for pre-order but perhaps I am taking it too literally. I can't recall whether they took pre-orders with the first lot or just listed them in stock straight away.

[DaptoDog]

Ok I pressed RK on it and they just responded to wait for their announcement. Take that for what you will.

[Sinnertwin]

I'm a bit miffed as to why they haven't listed OP yet.
I can only assume that they're just waiting to dot the i's and cross the t's.

Do they not know how to spell Optimus? :p

[MV75]

Pretty cool. Honestly I'm happier I have the encore edition of all the tapes. If you don't, then buy buy buy these for sure.

Interestingly if you do an eBay search for OP all the results are from the US. So it seems it hasn't made its way to Asia yet.

Taiwanese eBay sellers had OP up before they hit US shelves.

Or an automated style response.
