Haha I like the Comic and DVD idea and also the stand, definitely not the colours or the ultra short smoke stacks. Then again we all say "meh, pass on it now.." I'm sure when it appears right in front of your eyes, you just can't say no.. :D

Yeah, I can pass it. I passed Hasbro's last reissue - I can pass this one too. Mind you, I already have like 3 versions of Takara's reissues, so I'm pretty thoroughly immunised. ;) The comic I already have (both original and reprint). And what's on the DVD? (can't imagine it being something I don't have)
The colours might appeal to people who are absolute lovers of show-likeness It doesn't appeal to me either. I much prefer the darker colours of the original toy.Quote:

That reissue didn't come with the energy axe which the TFC reissue came with though. But it's also my favourite of the Convoy/Prime reissues. :)Quote:

I also prefer the look of the original brown windows on that toy over the blue. But hey, it was a nice and cheap/affordable way for fans to get a Goodbye Convoy not to mention a reissue of Action Master Prime (too bad it didn't come with the vehicle, although that would've made the whole set pret-ty freakin' expensive :p).
Encore OP doesn't come with the energy axe does it? At least i know mine doesn't, and if anyone else's does - i'll be mighty p'd off!
You're probably right. I don't have Encore Convoy and was never really that interested in it myself - I just kinda assumed that it was the same as TFC Convoy but in a different packaging. I'll amend my last post accordingly. :p
Nah, mine doesn't either. Prime only used his axe in one episode (I think :confused:) so no axe isn't really that great a loss... :)Quote:

Not only are the Autobot symbols printed on like Encore, but the silver stripes on body and arms are also painted and not stickers. Nicer than I expected. (Gold Matrix is from reissue Galvatron and Megatron gun from TF Collection Starscream.)

so dusty :confused:
It's time I invest in some dust cleaning equipments for my toys... :oQuote:

Obviously because they're less faithful reproductions if the smokestacks and missiles aren't the same length as on the original toy.Quote:
