Future Chronicle sets?

[Tetsuwan Convoy]

If it is true, then it'll be one of the fastest and highest selling reissues to date I suspect... But you know that feeling you get when something seems too good to be true?

Yeh, I'd like to see a scan of the flap, let's make sure Shockwave isn't standing next to Grimlock from the movie an G1 Grimlock.


Oh hang on a sec...

The Seibertron news link in the first post has been updated with pics of the box flaps, showing the different movie & Gen1 characters.

No way! I can't believe we're getting a Shockwave! I didn't want to get my hopes up, but the box flap just about confirms it

Like everyone else, the Shockwave set is the only one that interests me. I'll keep my excitement in check though until I see actual pics of the toy.

Yeah, I'm taking this with a huge grain of salt, because according to Snakas's post here, these images are just Character Introductions (i.e. "Let's compare more DotM characters with their G1 namesakes!") -- and NOT necessarily indicative of upcoming products.

It's only been on Western fan sites that rumours of a reissue Shockwave has emerged based on seeing these images and possibly not reading the text that explains what they're about. Having not seen the box or inserts for myself, I can't tell directly, but snakas doesn't state that this is indicative of any upcoming releases and says that rumours about a reissue Shockwave have been coming from Western fan sites... certainly not from him.

I think it's best to follow 5FDP's lead and hold onto our horses until we see more official confirmation.

I am hopefull for a shockwave, again, really the only set I'm interested in.

[GoktimusPrime]

Me too. And as the only G1 character in that group that has never been reissued before, I'm certain a LOT of fans would be jump at the chance of getting a Chronicle Shockwave -- or better yet, Encore Shockwave (it'd be cheaper, and I really don't need another DotM Shockwave!).

But yeah, I just don't want people getting their hopes up over what's only rumours at this stage. Cos as far as I can tell, all TakaraTOMY have done with this flaps is just a basic G1/movie character comparison - pretty much in the same spirit as the G1/Movieverse toy comparison thread. I can't see anything that directly indicates or states that these comparisons are indicative of future products.

Does TakaraTomy own the mould for Shockwave?
