Thread: More re-issues we didn't need: Galaxy Force Optimus Prime and Crumplezone twin pack

    I just wish the Classics/Henkei/Universe line was all reimaginings of G1.
    That's why I started collecting them in the first place. That Crumplezone I have already but does not belong anywhere near my Classics.

    A twinpack that's a Leader and a Voyager? That's going to be expensive.

    I'd be happier with a reissue of the original Cyberton Optimus Prime.

    Its not within my collecting spectrum but I can see how it can benefit those who missed out.

    What I find strange is that this toy is a bit too new to be reissued. They have a whole library of molds for older, much desired toys that warrant a reissue more than this.

    Maybe "reissue" isn't the right term when these are most likely unsold leftovers?

    Kurdt could be right, but didn't they sell fairly well? Unless they over produced them or discovered a lost shipment.

    Also I don't see any kids getting these. Cybertron is old news now, if a kid is going to get a toy he would be going for Animated Prime or Movie Prime to a lesser extend (because its a bit older)

    Hey If I hadn't heard about the bad quality of plastic in that set I would have bought it.

    If it didn't cost ~$120 more than what it should have, then I would have bought it.

    Prime's repaint looks terrible to me, I would have considered getting this if it was a genuine like-for-like reissue

    Anyway I also feel that Hasbro is taking it's old stocked items that couldn't sell, and repainting them as new series.

    It doesn't justify since there are so many other figures that need re-issues more this. But good for those who need a Cybr Prime. (* Still like my blue window one) kekeke
