    Having said that, I won't say no to reissues either. We know they have the Fort Max mould (although there are reports that their previous base/city TF reissues have shelf warmed; if this is true then I don't blame TakaraTOMY for being hesitant in reissuing Fort Max)

    I though Griffin was playing silly buggers as the toy is ultra sized, not voyager.
    Oops, got the size class wrong.
    The joke was meant to highlight the change in size class names since Energon (Voyager used to be Mega, and Ultra was briefly Commander).

    Didn't metroplex sell well while omega sat back?

    I think the metroplex types (scorponok, trypticon), would sell well. One would think that fort max would pre-order out within 10 seconds.

    Metroplex sold well enough for TT to do a second run earlier this year...

    If Metroplex sold that well, why hasn't e-hobby or TakaraTomy released Metrotitan?

    Yeah... they totally should've done Metrotitan as an e-Hobby limited exclusive. Even if they've lost the mould for Metrobomb (Skystalker Micromaster) - it'd still be cool enough without it.

    Maybe TT is thinking that fans wouldn't want a Metroplex redeco if it wasn't 'complete' with all items Metrotitan came with? I have too much of a completist mentatlity, so would feel it is incomplete without Metrobomb (which is a different deco to Skystalker). I'd still get it though, as a significant redeco of Metroplex.
