    I don't think it's a case of being ignorant to assume that any release of a mould will be its last but rather 'playing it safe' because moulds do have a lifecycle which comes to an end.

    Some that do play it safe get it wrong on occasion. It's a risk we all take when collecting - do you hold off buying a particular toy and run the risk of paying inflated prices on the second-hand market, or do you buy what's available now and hopefully be satisfied with what you have.

    I see the point you are making and while I don't necessarily agree, this doesn't make your point in any way invalid because it's what you believe and who am I to tell you you're wrong

    I believe that you're referring to my comment Kup. Sorry if I took yours out of context. I was trying to be careful by adding "even though it might not be our own way of thinking" just in case.

    I'm not entirely convinced that Hasbro WOULD release a large and expensive g1 combiner set like this anyway. They tried to shop around the seacons several years ago and there were no takers. I think its far more likely to be a Takara release, since they didn't get access to the reissue like US transfans.

    I've bought the seacons reissue, but honestly nothing would make me happier to see a G1 coloured reissue.

    Now if they were to add the extra seacon (can never remember his name) that would be the cherry on top.
    On the lookout for MISB Headmaster Highbrow, Takara or Hasbro. I'm sure I could make you a sweet deal!

    I gotta agree with Sky Shadow. I bought Gentei Thrust thinking it would be the only way for me to get a "Classics" Thrust. Now we have Generations Thrust which is cheaper and in some ways, better looking. Am I miffed about it? Not really. It's great news for people who missed out on BotCon and Gentei Thrust - both of which were limited exclusives.

    I would absolutely pounce on an Encore King Poseidon reissue... while I have all the G1 Seacons, I'm missing most of Piranacon's gestalt parts. And buying a reissue is just easier and cheaper than chasing down the originals! It was the main reason that I bought Encore Bruticus (that and I wanted to support/encourage TakaraTOMY to reissue more gestalts).

    Nautilator. He's my favourite of the Seacons (and not just because he and Skalor were my first! )

    In this case, the missing Seacon is actually Snaptrap. And it would be very strange for them to reissue the others without him.

    Unless there's a backstory of them tired of him and left their "leader"...... mutiny!! Im hoping they do reissue this! Im still hoping for a Liokaizer reissue or a US mass release,

    Excellent! I'd be happy to get these guys. G1 gets way too expensive is you want all the parts. I hope Overbite ends up in more accurate colours though.

    And I have absolutely zero doubt that Snaptrap will be released. We know they have the mould.
