Doubt it. Anything G1 rarely losses value including G1. If anything all G1 stuff is going up higher currently.

QFT as well. Recent eBay closing pricing on auctions overall proves this.

I could just get an Encore box & put my Hasbro re-issue Starscream in there & call it Encore Starscream. I'll just go hunting for TFC Starscream. As for Prime & Megs, if they don't come w/their respecitive energon weapons, I won't bother.
The accessories on the OP though make it worth getting. Grey roller, missles and the bloated gun. Add to this that that autobot symbols are moulded to his shoulders instead of being stickers.

You need better information.
The market says something quite contrary to your statement.

I think they need to talk to you on ebay where they charge $60 for the reissue Soundwave that came out last year. Even reissues go up in value.

Regardless of whether they're reissues or originals, if the buyers want them the price will go up, especially if they're harder to get.
A couple of weeks ago I sold an original G1 Prime cab on E-Bay. I'd restored it so the paint wasn't original, the chrome was repainted, the fists were broken, and he had no other accessories.
$50AU. A year ago before the movie I would have been lucky to get $20AU.
I watched another auction, Prime and trailer. Trailer was broken and he had no accessories at all. Went for over $170AU.
So the market is big right now, these reissues are coming out at a perfect time to cash in on the hype. Only one i'd be interested in is Starscream and possibly Soundwave just so I have them in semi-original packaging.

easy just order it , i think that G1 megatrons are grandfathered in so current gun toy laws wont stop it from being ordered or so i think

not exactly. G1 megatrons should be held to the same toy gun laws...especially newly released reissues.
However, that doesnt mean you can't order one from overseas. I heard of very few having issues ordering mp megs or tfc megs unmodified from outside the us.
Then there is always the option of ordering from bbts which will place an orange plug on the barrel. The plug was easily removed from mp megs, and more than likely will be similar with the encore series. However, i personally would rather take my chances with an import company.
On a different note...i still wish that soundwave would have come with frenzy or rumble instead.

Would love to get a Megatron and Prime (mine is in bad shape).
I'm interested to see how Soundwave sales go.

Dang, those are sweet. I'd love to get my hands on all of them, but that's going to be a sweet bit of cash.

I'd possibly consider Starscream to round out the group, but all of this is iffy.
