2005 Boards member S250 has passed along word that Hasbro Hong Kong have begun to solicit orders for several out-of-production Transformers items that they will be reissuing in the coming months (as Hasbro Hong Kong also runs Takara-Tomy’s market for Asia excluding Japan)
Items intended for reissue include:
Galaxy Force:Primus
Hybrid Style Galaxy Convoy
Generation 1:
Encore Metroplex
Predaking
Sixshot
Transformers Henkei:
Hound
Cyclonus
Convoy
This is a great chance to pick up items you might have missed out on the first time around – be sure to check our site sponsors for preorders as the release date draws nearer.

You're in luck: the first item on the list to be actually reissued is Henkei Convoy!

Has there been any more news about these reissues? I'd like a cheap Henkei Convoy if possible. @_@

Can't wait to get more news on these figures

great news i always needed predaking. sixhot i just bought for 200.00. so i dont need sixhot. anyone know if the box will be the g1 style for predaking and primus? i would only want it if its a g1 style box for predaking. primus i might think about since hes not really a g1 figure. btw anyone know where to preorder them yet?

Yea, that's why TF hunting is so difficult in HK. You would really have to be a local to know all the local hobby and specialty shops. But prices at those shops are usually lower than normal since they are mostly ran by 1 person.

so are these going to be produced for Hong Kong retail? what stores will be carrying them? I'm nearby in China. I've been to ToysRUs in HK, seemed expensive at the time. and I've been to that mall of collector shops on Nathan Rd (kind of sucked last time I went, it goes downhill every time I see it, lol) and it's expensive. I guess there's no big stores like Walmart/Zellers where we can get figures at US/Canada prices $10-15?
If I find them in China they'll be even more expensive, because they'll have to be exported and imported back again, (so taxes can be collected each time they cross the border lol) and Walmart China won't have them because they only carry mostly KOs

Henkei Hound and Cyclonus! Yes! I was really really close to blowing the $110 – $140 that it would've cost to get these guys at current prices. Thank you TakTomy!

Heres to hoping that the reissues would be of the metal variety and not the plastic ones for Predaking…

Almost forgot about Sixshot! I WANT HIM TOO! Missed out on 'plex, Predaking and Sixshot, so I want them them! Sixshot always looked awesome.

Yes please thank you

Holy crap! I am soooo happy about Predaking. I need him. Badly. Almost broke down a couple times for the re-issue but was holding out for a possible encore. I will definitely be pre-ordering.

Sweet baby Primus, this is awesome.
Trailbreaker77
Predaking would be sweet.
Darkspeed
Oh yes. Hell yes! Please let this be true!
Schiedam79
Anyone found pre-orders on the web yet?
Automorpher
Yeah, would like these "Encored" as well.
I can use a Predaking & Sixshot for toying-around purposes.

G1 Predacons! Sixshot! Primus!
Well, maybe on Primus, depending on how much money I have left >.>
Time to schedule a trip to HK! Maybe I can get my employer to include me on the tradeshow program.
