I'm particularly stoked for the incoming reissue Trypticon. Well they still have the mold, remember the camo colored Japanese beast wars gigastorm? (where the nose cannon was replaced with the horn and it basically came with no accessories)

Wait, so are these reissues by Hasbro or Takara?
I just hope they're not making any alterations for the sake of toy safety.

These are Hasbro Asia releases. The same market that got the new production run of the MP-10 Prime which never came back in stock in the US. These will start as Asian market releases most likely and then maybe some will be exported directly (devastator is rumored to be coming to Canada) and others will be picked up by vendors like BBTS, etc.
The devastator is completely new and the rest should be straight G1 reissues. All the ones listed after the new devastator have been takara encore and/or Hasbro TRU reissues over the last few years. Trypticon would be the only new reissue.

im happy to hear that devastator is coming, at the same time im mad because now devastator is gonna be a big figure and not in scale with both Superion and Menasor.

I would be really surprised if the joints are not still compatible even if he is bulkier. Might be nice to have a bigger combiner. Throwing some big old tfc styled arms on a fp sized meansaur. Might work out. I imagine the leader sided guy is the dump struck. I bet he will be the core and the smaller bit with the head will mount on top. I hope they do something clever with it. Especially considering the price for a hasbro figure.

What's the cheapest place to get Trypticon shipped to (or, preferrably, within) Europe?
