Even though I have a vintage G1 Hound, I would love a reissue of him. And I know it's possible because of the recent E-Hobby repaint. Posted by -Kanrabat- on December 28th, 2018 @ 8:29am CST

I’m glad they’re reissuing G1 Optimus because I’ve been dying to find one that isn’t used, a KO, or very expensive. Posted by Combat Zero on December 28th, 2018 @ 9:33am CST

If you already have a good condition vintage trailer but a broken-ass incomplete Optimus, that reissue is a blessing. If you already have a good condition vintage trailer but a broken-ass incomplete Optimus, that reissue is a blessing. Posted by -Kanrabat- on December 28th, 2018 @ 9:39am CST

I just polished off having all the G1 figures with an extra Bumblebees and extra Hot Rod. I think in America at a retail Walmart store, unless they are raising their prices on everything the price will be $34.99 /to 39.99 not any higher because of the size of the box.I just polished off having all the G1 figures with an extra Bumblebees and extra Hot Rod.

The price has already been rumoured to be $50 at Walmart because of a listing that was found. However, I'd expect that price to only stay there for a month or so as we've seen with Hot Rod how sales can hit. Posted by ZeroWolf on December 28th, 2018 @ 10:17am CST

I was hoping that this wouldn't jump the 40 quid mark. Might wait it out to see if it goes on discount somewhere... but being a TF G1 centric collector and not having an original Optimus is a sacrilege which I've been hoping to remedy. And a trailer isn't too important for me as I have the Mp10 one, the g1 trailer would just take more room, though it'd have been nice. Posted by frogbat on December 28th, 2018 @ 10:24am CST

That’s only happened once though. While Christmas shopping the past two weeks I picked up a hot rod a couple times and took it to a scanner and every time he was full price.



I know people are expecting this guy to be dropped in price but it’s more than likely not going to happen. Hot rod dropped ONCE and now he’s a shelf warmer while Devastator and Starscream and even the minibots have constantly sold out. That will probably happen with this. That’s only happened once though.

It will depend on the demand/supply.

Look like they underproduced Devy and Screamers, but overproduced Hot Rod.

As for the minibots, they keep being restocked. I do hope their popularity will bring more in the future.

Though I think this next wave will just be Optimus, i'd be surprised if they didn't reissue soundwave again as well.

The new Optimus reissue is on ebay now as well for about $70. Posted by buddha-con on December 28th, 2018 @ 9:23pm CST

Just checked another Walmart, had a million of G1 Hot Rod but no minibots. For anyone who has seen them, are the minibots on shelves with the rest of the Transformers?



Also, how accurate is brickseek for stuff like this? Posted by EvasionModeBumblebee on December 29th, 2018 @ 4:45pm CST

Also the WM app is not accurate when it comes to stock. I've seen them at several stores that reports "out of stock". Brick seek probably won't do ya any good.
