    Predaking was a great one to reissue. Price on it though exceeds or is on par with original usually. What are the chances of another reissue of these?
    Also....question....is the reissue done with die-cast or all plastic?

    I paid $145 for mine. That's waaaaaaay cheaper than getting original complete MISB metal G1 Predacons. I have no idea what the after-market prices are, but of course that's something beyond HasTak's control.

    Yeah, Predaking has been going up in price like $50 every year. I remember when it was $250, then $300 and now $350.

    it'll probably go up in price till its on par with G1 loose pieces. G1 boxed US/Jap predakings would probably still command a higher price than the reissue, but I suppose more people would rather buy a minty fresh metal bodied reissue rather than loose predacons in various conditions.

    All of the TFC ones for me. I already own all of those toys w/ the exception of Soundblaster and I still felt the need to go and get them all. They're refreshing and exactly how re-issues should be done: with a modern sensibility.

    Packaging aside I don't see how TFC reissues are much better or worse than most other Japanese reissues. And I personally prefer more G1-accurate packaging, but the TFC book-style packaging is undeniably sweet too - and the uniform size makes them oh-so easy for storage!!
