Galvatron's not an Encore reissue. The grey toy with the green matrix is a limited e-Hobby exclusive and would be much rarer than the purple reissue with the gold Matrix. Having said that, I think the purple one is more popular. Reissues aren't as valuable as original G1s though.

Oh that makes sense. I feel like such a noob!

Man I was just reading the thread below and I feel so guilty even asking these questions about resale value. Seems to me a true TF fan would not collect to resell.

There's nothing wrong with buying a few TFs with investment motives.

What ever happened with Takara's expected release of Nemesis Prime with the red windows?

These look like Movie Legends Optimus and Ice Megatron, but the paintjob on Optimus is really impressive and I don't ever remember seeing one like that. Even the Megatron's blended blue looks more impressive than what I've seen. They're not advertised as customs though. What are these?

My guess is KO's or at least non HasTak models.

Anybody here own an Encore Prime? Coz I just want to know if this prime version has the FAT gun rather than common slender one and if it has an energy axe included? Also couldn't find the thread but will we be getting the Universe 2packs? ya know Roadbuster Vs Ratbat? Cheers.

I remember a fast food chain (Phillipines or another country) had oversized versions of the movie legends with their kids meals. Prime looks like one of these. Megatron though is a repaint in the legends 2-packs I think.

I don't plan to open mine, but from pics I've seen online I remember it's the FAT version. (Don't believe they've used the mould of the thin one after the very first Takara then Hasbro reissues.) And no, no energy axe was included in any reissues except the TF Collection #0.

Yes. TRU exclusives.
