Hi all, I got Jhiaxus recently, and I just received the botcon 2013 figures and comic book, now my question is, should I open Jhiaxus or do you think they may reissue him?

To open or not to open? (help please)

What? Robots in Disguise Jhiaxus? The recolour of Beast Machines Jetstorm? They have no reason to reissue him and never will.

Isn't the RID one super duper rare? Anyways, open it! Google tells me it's a brightly coloured Universe Powerglide? Is it?Originally Posted by Sky Shadow

It's a brightly coloured Universe Skywarp. (Or Beast Machines Sonic Attack Jet/BM Deluxe Jetstorm/Robots in Disguise Storm Jet.) It's rare in that it was a KayBee exclusive - I saw one for $50 before shipping not too long ago, but there are a couple of insanely scalpy ones on eBay for $200+.

Sky Shadow is right, it is the repaint of Jetstorm, the only reason I was asking is because he is (kinda) becoming relevant if you've read the botcon comic, so was just wondering if I should open or see if he's reissued.

I think I get what is being said... Why would you open up an expensive rare toy (like Gen1 or a rare store exclusive) if there was word of a cheaper reissue on the way.
Jhiaxus has been a feature character in the BotCon comics in the last 12 months (and it wouldn't surprise me if he appears in the Regen comic, as Furman seems to be rewriting Gen2, while using some existing Gen2 concepts & characters). So, it could be on the short list of characters warranting a new toy... but Hasbro wouldn't reissue that toy/mould. If they did do a Jhiaxus, it would be something new to fit in with the current aesthetic/engineering of the Generations toys.
I doubt that particular Jhiaxus toy would be reissued, even by FunPub... but it is up to you if you want to open up yours (depending on if you prefer its resale value or playtime).

This toy was rare? I remember seeing it quite frequently when it came out. I grabbed mine from a Toys R Us. Never new it was rare.
Still... open!
I really hope they make a proper Generations Jhiaxus toy. The RiD toy is Jhiaxus is name alone.
