And the next Encore is.... (another false lead)

Star Convoy

Sorry. Twas another false alarm.


(Seibertron article was removed) UPDATE at TFW2005: The listing has removed "Encore" from its title. That along with the matching UPC number, confirms this is not a new Star Convoy but old stock of the first reissue.

Cool! Another version of Optimus! This is exactly what the fans need!

Is this same as God-Ginrai? I haven't really got on to watching the Japanese G1 continuation cartoons, only just started on Headmasters...

thought this was reissued a couple of years back. Interesting that they're reissuing it again when the detrimental impact on price from the previous reissue is still haunting the fandom. I see the previous reissue floating around still for around $100 a pop.... very strange choice of reissue

How's it had a detrimental effect?

I don't think it's a great choice either but I didn't know it was that haunting?

I hope this is limited, so they can fast forward to the next one. Very underwhelming choice. Maybe they have a few sitting around at the factory from the last reissue and will just stick them in Encore packaging

No. Different figure from a few years after God Ginrai.

Interesting choice for it to be something not from the first few years. A promising sign though for reissues of Headmasters (and Jrs) and Godmasters.

Bummer... it's just a re-release reissue.
I guess I'm just getting greedy after they released a number of new reissues recently (Skylynx and Omega Supreme, and some cassettes).

BOOOOO!!!
