    Default 2018 Walmart Gen1 reissues - Hotrod, Starscream, Devastator, Minibots

    After the news about reissue Hotrod being a Walmart exclusive a few weeks back (and showing up in Asia), three more Gen1 reissues have been found listed at Robotkingdom, listed as Walmart exclusives.

    Starscream - packed with a mini Megatron gun, about US$40 for July.
    Devastator - about US$90 for Juy
    Minibots - four different ones (Bumblebee, Swerve, Tailgate, Outback) at about AU$10 each, for August.

    I don't really have much interest in getting the old figures but I am oddly tempted by the Starscream!

    Eight Minibots? Oh, I'm so keen to see what they do. I'd LOVE to finally have an encore Hubcap.


    Eagerly waiting for Masterpiece Meister

    That's exactly what I was thinking. I'm going to need to hunt down Devastator and Starscream for my son. He will loose it when he sees them as he has always seen "original/encore" versions of Devastator/Constructicons and begged me for them. And even though he loves his Combiner Wars one he still nags me for the smaller originals. hehe.

    I am really happy to see these figures being "re-released"; I'm just hoping they won't be too hard to source and ridiculously expensive to get down here.

    I'm glad they're carded just like the originals, but Argh, RK is selling the minibots as a set. I was only after a single figure BB.

    If Starscream has yellow eyes instead of stickers I will buy it.

    Oh how I hate the seeker's eye stickers!

    The others, I already have these as reissues in G1 boxes - the boxes just have Japanese writing on them.

    Great, and a little surprising, though to see so many G1 reissues for the US market in the works.
