Encore #20 Officially Announced and Available for Pre-Order

Good news becomes bad news when it comes to the price tag.

I just realized I have enough bots to make two separate G1 Devastators. I want one like hell, but I'm going to have a tough time justifying this.

That is a great deal!

She said she used her brother's Devastator for a husband to Barbie once (she also liked the color scheme). I may have to get her a Barbie so she can rein-act her play time she had. It will be worth it, though....

There's your next Human Alliance figure, Devastator with Ken!

That's a very cool release and one I'm sure will get a gen 2 colour release

However it's a bit steep and am glad I found. Very cheap knock off a while back that cost less than ten dollars and looks ok on display. Obviously quality and safety are nothin like thee original but I will live with it as my original figures ended up with the hip connectors broke etc

Like most I think we r gluttons for new nostalgic releases and will happily enjoy both the g1 reissues and the modern interpretations

Keep bringing them on

This makes me so, so happy!

Thank goodness he's priced like Bruticus and not like Predaking! does this mean Menasor is the only Decepticon combiner yet to be reissued?

No, you're forgetting Abominus.

Dinoking, Lio Kaiser, and Monstructor.

SOOOOO HAPPY!!!!!
Now we just need Encore Dinbots!

I bought my Quick Change robot version from Tuesday Morning for $7 dollars. I think he displays just as nice. Although I probally will buy one and keep it boxed.

My prayers of 2 years have been answered. ENCORE IS BACK! YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Tigertracks, you got knocked the F' out!

I want but can't. school has burnt a big hole in my wallet and has created a negative pressure situation. It so sux, but I want.

BBTS is 10 bucks more, but that's the price I'm willing to pay. $110-120 is pretty reasonable, I think.

Also BBTS allows you to cancel your pre-order should you change your mind. I like to shop at places that give buyers some flexibility.

Expect TFSource to raise their price accordingly. never fails

I'm getting one.

Happy dance.

I had every G1 combiner except this one. I may get this one or a knockoff, but I will own a G1 Devastator before I die...

I have a 100% complete G1 Devy but i will get this set as it looks quite good packaged.

So how about some Headmasters now or a reissue from Victory?

This right here, is why I like you all. Even though I have Monstructor and am very pleased to, I simply forget him because of the size. G1 gestalts have a certain size frame they all generally fit except for him. We're all forgetting Road Caesar too.

I'm pleased it's coming out, but I'm going to be financially stupid and go with the the TFClub Devastator.

And don't forget Landcross! Also Sixwing, Sixbuilder, Sixturbo, Raiden... oh, and if we're counting Battle Gaia, we have to add Guard City

Back on topic, I'm really glad I waited on getting a G1 set. This will look fantastic next to my yellow and orange versions

I didn't forget them. They've been reissued. Not G1 Raiden though...

Ah, somehow missed the part about reissuing. I can't read today x.X

Preordered. And all my CD upgrades will go onto him.

See that, Hasbro/Takara? You just made money thanks to a third party.

Preordered....... I think I'll keep this one as is, though. I like the way Devastator looks by himself, so no CD parts for this one......

I really can't wait for this reissue, and I don't care how much it cost either. I actual have that 'high quality' Devi KO but even that has its flaws.

Pre-ordered. Originals are going on ebay for nearly that price. As much as I like old stuff, having a new one that fits together well is a deal.

Will look really nice next to the TFC version

Don't forget they've been "enhancing" their reissues, who knows what we'll get.

Preordered!

Now ill have one with CD upgrades and one still in the box that ill never open.

I'm still shock by the fact that I'm more excited about Encore Devastator than MP10 Prime, LOL

If only November could come much quicker, he shall join with my other combiner Predaking, Menasor, and Bruticus!

Hoping for a E-hobby Diaclone version!

I thought the G1 Devastator mold had been lost/damaged, along with Mirage, Sunstreaker, Wheeljack, and the Dinobots.

So where has the Encore mold come from? Now that we have Devastator, does that mean we'll be getting the others reissued to?

chuckdawg1999 wrote:Don't forget they've been "enhancing" their reissues, who knows what we'll get.

This is exactly what I was thinking and am curious about. Although I doubt it'll be much more than minor cosmetic changes in paint and possibly a new face. I have my fingers crossed for e-hobby Diaclone colors, TFCC Shattered Glass Constructicons and more as well.

sorry i don't have a reason to buy a g1 reissue right now or ever, but thats probably because i never had a childhood memory of any g1 anything...

Same. I only started collecting tfs after the 07 movie... the closest i got to a G1 memory was in the start of 2007 when my local kids TV channel re-aired G1 and i watched the jetfire episode for 5 seconds and saw jetfire flying with spike shouting "Go jetfire". I went "Fk this i hate robots an humans" and turned off the TV

I started with G1, way back when it was the only version. so ya. I want, but between all that goes on, i can't have. but still want.

All this talk about the molds being lost.........remember OM and Skylynx?

I just pray the quality of the mold won't be as shitty as Bruticus.

OM? But my encore skylnyx has awesome quality, and i got it for an awesome price of $32 US

Woo Hoo!!!

Finally he's getting a reissue!

And it looks like the Encore series is going to start up again too. Great news all round

Pre-ordered from Amazon.co.jp already

OM and Skylynx had top quality plastics, Bruticus.......

More like OS, which stands for Omega Supreme. Both Omega Supreme and Sky Lynx were owned by a company other than Takara and Hasbro. Fortunately, it was revealed that Tomy has commissioned these two toys to be made, and with the merger, they became accessible for Takara.

Yeah lol... os was one of the best encores... well i only own OS and SL

Thanks again milady JZGR. I have this odd habit of calling Omega Supreme OM, that should have been OS

TomyTakara should take their time this time, not rush the production of Devastar and make sure QC is at least 90% perfect.

I for one would be willing to wait until Christmas if only that QC would be a thing of the past like that of Encore Bruticus

You'd expect at least, being a well used mold, Bruticus would have been well maintained. (Maybe it was subcontracted to save on costs? Because OS and SL were high QC re-issues. I bend my knees and pray that this isn't G2 Devastator redux (that too had really shitty quality))

I read the review on Encore Bruticus and decided to ditch him on two accounts, QC and no die cast metal

Encore Omega and Skylynx on the other hand, were great. So if Encore Devastator QC is the same as OS/SL, I'm very happy. Hopefully, there's no modification. I just want it to be like the original.

I must've been lucky as my Encore Bruticus was fine; better than the desert redeco that was released in the Universe line.

Don't ditch the fig due to its die-cast content. QC is the weighty factor.
