    ... it haunting because while it is good to have it available to fans at a reasonable price, I really hate to see such a classy piece be sold at fire sale prices and be totally disregarded. Like the God Ginrai reissue before it, the Star Convoy reissue for some reason, totally destroyed the back-market and retail market prices for both the vintage release and the reissue release up till today.

    The pain emanating from from friends who pain-stakingly sought out and bought the vintage Star Convoy in the region of $800, is another thing that is haunting...

    And if the rumours about this are true, they are about perform act two in this already sad tragedy. My, that is scary...

    I don't like the re-release but I don't mind if it dilutes prices. It's sad yes but that's virtually true of a lot of G1 toys too I'm sure. Like a Ratbat would have used to cost heaps but will now be fairly cheap b/c they've re-issued the legit one. Dilution of prices is no issue to me personally as ultimately I just want the toy. It doesn't bother me though I think the quantity sitting there doing nothing will as I can see how if you have a favourite nold and then you see it shelf-warm you get a bit sad no one's sharing the love.

    That's the one but I am not sure if the encore release would have Rodimus (most likely it will)
