    Even with my new slave wage paying job

    i have limited funds

    so before i make any rash decisiions, does anyone in the know (People with Hasbro and Takara connections) know if there will be a reissue or encore G1 Scorponok?

    Does anyone psychic (However its spelt) detected a reissue thought from some Hasbro employee?

    Anyone with foresight?

    The bigger Encores didn't do well at Asian retails. My guess is unless Scorponok appears in a Movie (well he did... but needs to be much cooler and a more prominent major character), HasTak might not consider making such a big toy that will likely shelf-warm and sell below profit.

    That's very disappointing news. I had suspected as much but had hoped that Omega Supreme and the like would sell well enough to survive the line. The smaller lines judging by eBay seem not to have had much success. It could mean the end of Encore or less Encore altogether which would be sad.

    On the bright side, we were wrong about Encore not continuing and are now seeing Hoist and Trailerbreaker. So maybe not all hope is lost.

    last time i made a big purchase, it was for a incomplete G1 metroplex. The very next frickin day, Encore Metroplex Autobot city was released

    So, im really just being careful as to not waste any big amounts of money on something that will be reissued with all its accessories in about a week. After a year i might be able to get over it.

    Its times like these i actually wish that the mould was missing

    Does anyone else cringe when they hear the majority of songs while watching the original tf movie?

    I don't know if this is true or not but its a common believe that the Japanese do not like large toys, and general large goods because they have very small homes and don't wish single large stuff to take up space.
