Thanks to InDemandToys and KapowToys, we finally have a potential price, shipping date and stock image for the previously confirmed Walmart Exclusive G1 Vintage Optimus Prime reissue. Sporting the same curiosities on the box as the preview seen earlier at a show. With other G1 Vintage reissues already hitting sale prices, we can only guess that Optimus Prime will not be alone in this wave, and with the recent vote on Astrotrain Vs Perceptor, we also have had confirmation this latest spate of reissues is to run into spring 2020 as well.

Optimus Prime will be shipping late January with a price tag of £49.99 at InDemandToys and £47.97 at KapowToys.

With characters like Hound and Blitzwing being prominent characters in the movies, it would seem like an excellent chance for Hasbro to finally deliver a reissue of figures. What are you hoping to return alongside this legendary figure? Drop in on the Energon Pub and get that wish-listing gear grinding.

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.

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.

If you already have a good condition vintage trailer but a broken-ass incomplete Optimus, that reissue is a blessing.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

They were in the yellow Bumblebee displays in the action alleys but our Walmarts have moved them to the pegs in the TF section. Some people have reported finding them around electronics.

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.

I can only verify the minibots were at two of our areas 7 or so Walmarts. I've only been to 4 recently. Walmart and their winning distribution.

I wouldn't sweat it too much, as stores like Ross will have them for $5 later next year

that's where I found all my other recent Walmart exclusives

Weeell, all Hasbro's release of MP-01 left out was a cardboard mockup trailer. Takara MP-01 didn't have a real trailer, that didn't come out til MP-04. Which, while a Takara-only release, was still an incomplete toy IMO. MP-10 was the first truly complete MP Optimus, and Hasbro released that one fully.

There is a few that are missing guns and what nots and it's open to interpretation but Takara can be just as bad like with RID/Car Robots Fort Max/Beast Wars Neo Trypticon not having all their accessories, but one of Hasbros oddest incomplete figure releases was the exclusive show accurate beast wars primal/megatron, where megatron had a part removed that made it floppy in robot mode. Just dont let them near load bearing walls and all should be fine.

I bought that 2-pack when it came out and never transformed Megatron until a couple of years ago. He's solid as a rock, all his parts lock in place without a problem.

Re: G1 Optimus Prime Reissue Release Date, Price and Stock Image (2001766)
Posted by Emerje on December 31st, 2018 @ 3:16am CST

Definitely sounds like a defect. I bought mine at TRU back in the day and never had an issue with it. There's no mention of this missing part on TFWiki for either the Takara or Hasbro versions.

Really the only case of Hasbro removing something integral to a figure is MP Hot Rod/Rodimus Prime since you can't form RP's alt mode without it. You could possibly make an argument for Hasbro not including a second gun with Titan Metroplex or Fort Max not having the sword at retail. But Hasbro has a better record of including nice extras with their collectibles like the extra tapes with MP Soundwave (not to mention reissue SW and Blaster) or their 25th Anniversary MP-1 with the Hasbro-original sound base (Takara Tomy would get their own version later). The new reissue Starscream didn't have to include a Megatron Gun, but it did.

If he thought that was an issue that affected all of this set, maybe it was because it was the first batch produced or something. Anyone else over here had such a QC issue at the time?

2017 was QC catastrophe for my Transformers but I never thought every single one of them had the same defects, or a feature was "removed".
2018 was MUCH better QC wise. I didn't bought as much transformers as last year, but I had NO QC issues in any of my transformers. That's what I can call a nice improvement over the 10 or so incidents I had back in 2017.

There was videos around at the time, cant seem to find any now although the back kibble not locking is mentioned in a few, Could just have been a QC issue on the first batch. Sadly I sold mine and when the buyer complained - I had never transformed it, which is something I now do with all my tfs, found videos saying the same thing was a known issue with the figure and compared it to the orig as well otherwise I would have been oblivious to it.

Must be a first batch thing.

After some lengthy searching, I've finally found the original news post regarding BW10 TRU Megatron's production error - https://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/hasbros-10th-anniversary-beast-wars-2pack-megatron/8581/

Unfortunately, the thread that it linked to with the details is long gone, what with every thread from before 2007 having disappeared from the site. Even using Wayback bore no fruit in my finding.

Luckily, I do have a decent memory of which part was reportedly missing. It was some sort of black ring-like piece that is supposed to be inside Megatron's torso that was missing.

Thanks to fellow eagle eyed Seibertron users, Sabrblade and Nathaniel Prime, and the folks over at In Demand Toys, we have our first look at a reissue of G1 Soundwave and Buzzsaw! The pictures come from In Demand Toys Facebook page,and show Soundwave in packing.

One thing to notice is that this is the single door version. While Hasbro have not made any comments about this reveal yet, it is likely that this will be the next release in the Walmart reissue series, along with the already leaked trailer less G1 Optimus Prime.

What do you think of this reissue? Will you be on the hunt for him? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews.
