Platinum Edition G1 Coloured AOE Dinobots Box Set.

[BigTransformerTrev]

Since I'd never heard this news about Dinobots being released this year I don't share the same dissapointment that the rest of you have, though I completely understand it.

I don't think we will ever get reissues of the G1 Dinobots. I'd just be happy for a proper CHUG set of them. It seems so odd that so many less popular characters have gotten the Generations treatment (sometimes even more than one toy) yet the powers that be still haven't bothered with this highly popular group.

G1 Head-sculpts!?!?

I now must have them! I must ensure my collection of AoE Voyager Grimlocks is complete!

I'll concede, I was originally against this set but seeing the G1 head-sculpts completely changed me. I love their look! Also it's in those really sexy Platinum-edition boxes that Hasbro have been doing really well with.

I wonder if these toys are being marketed as part of the Movieverse or Classicsverse; i.e. the mainstream Generations line w/o the "Age of Extinction" sub title. Hmm...

At least it saves me some money.
It was the only Platinum Edition set I was going to buy that was a reissue in original colours.
Looks like it is just going to be the Blitzwing/Astrotrain set, which is already on its way from Amazon.

I am one sad panda

Was really looking forward to upgrading my current G1 Dinobots, as they were well loved toys in my youth... Oh well...

[UltraMarginal]

I am really disappointed about this news, I don't even vaguely blame Griffin it's just disappointing, I've had money aside for months for this set. I never had a full set of G1 Dinobots, and half the ones I did have were the G2 coloured ones that never really scratched the right itch.

given the other platinum releases and the mention of G1 dinobots that the Hasbro rep made to Griffin, the expectation that this set was a reissue rather than a repaint with new heads is hardly a stretch.

This is a waste of plastic and I wouldn't buy them if the set was $10.

The new heads look cool, but then I remember that most of the moulds suck. Snarl and Slag are the best looking.

Not sure how I feel about it. G1 reissues would have been nice, but I was fairly indifferent anyway.

Generations cliffjumper?

Generations cliffjumper?

I've got at least 2 CHUG Cliffjumpers. Or were you referring to the fact that he is a less popular character with more CHUG toys than the Dinobots have?

I meant like we got less popular characters getting generation updates. We got Kup but it would of been cool to get cliffjumper to go with tracks and wheeljack.
