I'm looking at starting to collect G1TF. Mainly Encore Reissue because I will remove them from the packaging & more affordable. All you MISB/MOSC Original G1 collectors can breathe a sigh of relief.

I came across Commemorative Series range. Are these the same toy as the Encore Reissue but in a different packaging or totally different altogether? If different, is there a preference? Thanks in advance.
