Encore Cassette pack to be 'Vol 1'.

Noted on the tformers.com site, is word from the ehobby website that the Encore #15 Cassette pack (with Ravage, Laserbeak, Eject and Rewind) is to be called 'Transformers Cassette Big Mission set of Four Vol.1'.

Is this a hint that TakaraTomy have already got planned, another Cassette pack? Or will Vol 2 be the Ehobby recolours (if they do a set)?

Wishful thinking has me hoping that TakaraTomy have dug up the moulds for all their cassette TFs, including the Dino-combiners. I just didn't think they still had any of the other moulds, because the four in this set seem to be the only ones they've reissued in the last few years.

Ehobby's price for the set is 4,200yen, which is about AU$60-65.

Very interesting, maybe SteelJaw?, Frenzy?, Rumble? & Someone else?.

Id love to see something less main stream get released (like those dino combiners you mentioned :) )

Here's hoping that it's a taktom release of more so they're cheaper. :)

I said what I'd like to see in the other thread, but I didn't mention ratbat, quite possibly the hardest genuine one to find. That would be great. :)

All I care about is getting Soundwave's classic team. A pack with Frenzy, Rumble, Ravage, Laserbeak and Buzzsaw would make me happy. :)

Eep! This set is NOT cheap... (-_-) Again, if anyone just wants Laserbeak from this set please PM me for a split acquisition (you can have it for 25% of whatever I pay).

(Other than Steeljaw, anyway, which we know they have since they released him a couple of years ago with Broadcast.)

Good news for me. I really love all the casettes and never had them until these re-issues. Just hope there isn't too many repaints.

Yeah, I remembered Steeljaw earlier today, but figured that since no one else remembered it, I wasn't going to bother correcting myself... :o

Is there any chance no-one will want their Eject? If so, I'm happy to take it off of your hands... :)
