Well those of you that refuse to pay HK or secondary market prices have an option now. Plus this is a great way for Takara to combat the KO's.

Thats probably the best yet and is to make KO not worth anything.

This is why in some ways the hong kong reissues are scalping but is up to individuals to support this. I could not justify why a second run of sideswipe would cost $79 bucks and they have a G2 sideswipe with more stuff at $59.

And my thoughts are, is scalping for remaining demand because they can do it.

Now I can get my hands on Red Alert. Swish

[GoktimusPrime]

Yes! Gonna gets myself a reissue MP Red Alert!

Red Alert (2nd production run) is suppose to be released in Q4 this year. It seems a bit awkward to have two re-runs of the same item so close together. Unless the Q4 2014 re-run has been pushed out to early 2015.

As drifand alluded to before, this year's reissue is from Hasbro Hong Kong (even though it bears TakaraTOMY's logo, it's organised by Hasbro HK). The reissues here appear to be direct from TakaraTOMY for the Japanese market.

I wonder if this reissue sideswipe will have it's paint apps fixed?

[tangy]

awesome - i've been waiting got an MP10... such a long way away

[Kranix]

Having joined the MP collection gig late I jumped on the Hasbro Asia Reissue bandwagon for MP11 and MP12 so I paid a fair bit more than this let alone the possible discounts but them's the breaks. I am lucky that both of these figures had no issues so its hard to complain. The only dud MP I've bought was Prowl, it had some serious paint issues and the seller was not interested in helping resolve this. I may pick up the TRU version to replace it with.

[drifand]

might buy the nicer starscream and optimus and red alert.

They are all pretty okay prices as in comparison to Hong Kong Hasbro release.
I am actually surprised if Grimlock doesn't make it to the Japan reissue list.

So are these re-releases going to be available on the likes of HLJ & amiami?

[griffin]

Since these are JP reissues, they should be available on Japanese AND HK online stores.
