I dont know much about Digital Toys, but I would welcome a reissue of Blitzwing.

[Mike]

Hooray!! We were just talking about Blitzwint being re-issue last night. Glad to see him show up!!!

 

Bump that soundblaster down to where he should be, and make way for the real re-issues!!

[heroicnonsense]

Isn't #17 supposed to be Soundblaster?

 

 

Oh, he's been renumbered to #18! How confusing!

[Rumble]

i have been waiting for Blitzwing ever since this line started. Soundblaster can go kiss ass.

 

Anyway, it would be a smart move for Takara to reissue Predaking un-numbered, fearing that less wealthy collectors would give up on the line due to an overprized reissue. But i personally want Predaking to be in the line, and numbered as well.....it makes this whole line special

[Rumble]

I tried to google some Blitzwing pics. It appears that there is no presentable pics of him. That means Takara will probably draw thier own, and it may or may not turn out good. That's what i'm afraid of.

[Silverbolt]

Thats a reissue that I'll skip for sure. Blitzwing just seemed like a very cheap feeling figure to me when I had him.

[DPrime]

Blitzwing was the shiznit! I'm glad they're not giving up on "real" reissues, too, but I'll most likely pick up Soundblaster regardless.

 

As for Predaking, I think you've got a good point there Rumble. Personally, I don't care if it's part of the Takara collection. I've been mostly getting the Hasbro reissues - for me, I've only been picking up the Decepticons from Takara so far, other than Prime and the Minibots.

[Grady]

Nice to see them reissuing Blitzwing, he's my favourite of the triple changers. Since I already own two however, I won't be picking this reissue up.

[Insane Galvatron]

YAY!!!! I'm finally gonna get a mint Blitzwing!! YAY!!!! [/special Ed]

[Prowl]

That's very good news and I'm glad we're getting Blitzwing and Soundblaster Definitely like the variety of Decepticons we're getting from Takara

[Three Storms]

Hooray!! We were just talking about Blitzwint being re-issue last night. Glad to see him show up!!!

Same here. I don't have an original, and any TF that I don't have the original to that gets reissued is fine with me.

[Lady Jaye]

Freaking awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yee haw, I'm gonna get my Blitzwing back!!!!! Yay, I can't wait to transform him again and again and again!!!!!! :D :D

Blitzwing! According to Digital Toys.

 

How reliable are they?

 

Since it is also available at BBTS by now, I suppose that they are far reliable. However, there is also a pre-order for Galaxy Force over there.

@bounce@ @bounce@ @bounce@ BOOYAAAAHHHHH!!!!!! @bounce@ @bounce@ @bounce@

 

He's the one I've been waiting for! The ONLY triplechanger! Forget that stubby armed freak Astrotrain.

 

I've never had one, never touched one, but I've always wanted one, and have been tempted so many times to get a second rate incomplete one off ebay just to see how he works. Bring on the reissue!!!

[Lady Jaye]

Now you will know what it's like to own Blitzwing Gaz!!!! Welcome to the club!!! Although I do miss my old Blitzwing, but ya can't go back, so might as well movie forward!!!! Onward with the re-issues!!!!

[obiprime]

Sweet!!! but what paint job will he get? Astrotrain didnt get the G1 colors he came in black and white.

[Lady Jaye]

Wait has the American verison of Astrotrain come out??? If so, was it that crappy White and black version??? Not the awesome purple and black????

[GaZ]

Sweet!!! but what paint job will he get? Astrotrain didnt get the G1 colors he came in black and white.

That was coz of all the US colours/Jap colours/anime colours stuff though. As far as I know Blitzwing has and always will be cream and purple

[Lady Jaye]

Well here is the list off the Transformers website and it has no listing of Astrotrain, so hopefully, hopefully he hasn't come out?????

Not by Hasbro yet, no.

 

Takara released him in black and white, as TF Collection #11, and simultaneously released him in his anime colours (grey and purple) as an e-hobby exclusive

[DPrime]

I remember when Hasbro was showing some G1 upcoming releases, they showed Astrotrain in white and black. That isn't to say they'll release him that way, necessarily. Hopefully they come to their senses, like they did with Alternator Tracks, and give the fans what they want.

[Lady Jaye]

Let's hope that they do!!!!

[gunman_sr5]

No matter the paint app. I look forward to this release.

[D-Bot]

sweet, my G1 blitzwing is weaponless and needs his tank turrent fixed up.

i will be definitely picking up this reissue.

 

as for DW art of Bltizwing, it has been done.
