    Default Encore Devastator packaging pics

    Soon to be released is the latest Encore set from Tomy (in Japan)... the Constructicons.

    I can't work out what the "Hasbro" commemorative coin is about. Perhaps the release of the Encore set in HongKong, is packed with the Coin by Hasbro (who imports JP stuff into their HK market).

    It seems just bizarre for Hasbro to do that, for a product that they won't be selling outside of HK.
    On the lookout for MISB Headmaster Highbrow, Takara or Hasbro. I'm sure I could make you a sweet deal!

    They've been doing it for the last couple JP Masterpiece figures released in HongKong, so maybe this is something they will be doing a lot more of in future.

    I am so happy that they kept him the same colours as the original. This was a good chance for them to give him red eyes but!

    He also comes with the purple arms instead of black.

    Looks great, I have Devastator on Pre-Order and can't wait for it to arrive! I've never Pre-Ordered a TF so I hope the quality is good!

    Wont be buying myself but the benfit of this issue is

    1 - On other boards people who have purchased the KO have been indicating they will get rid of the KO and buy this.

    2 - The price of an original g1 giftset is dropping even further for those inclined to go 'original'. When I first started collecting it was around $600-$700 now if your sharp you can get one in good condition for around $250 shipped.

    Only issue is how to tell the difference between all the accessories!

    Can't wait for this to arrive on my doorstep The purple forearms are neither here nor there for me; I had no preference. I'll just be happy to own a minty-fresh Devastator after 25 years.

    Can't wait for this one! I already have a complete original G1 version, but I really want to support the Encore line... especially when awesome figures like this are reissued!

    My G1 Constructicons are missing some of the smaller accessories like the individual pistols (hey, I got 'em in 1985 )... getting the reissues is probably easier and cheaper than tracking the guns down separately -- not to mention that I'd be supporting Encore too. Also, my original Constructicons have been WELL loved and I don't think they could take any more play... I intend on leaving them as Devastator and be able to play with the Encores as individual robots.
