With the release of the 50th figure on the Legends series, Takara Tomy is holding a consumer survey about future reissues and other figure lines:
A few questions about purchase habits:
- How often do you buy
- How much do you plan on spending on figures?
And another few questions about your collections, questions both about Legends and Masterpiece Series:
- How do you display your collection?
- Which figures do you have?
- Which figures would you want to see reissued?
- What do you like about the LG/Masterpiece line?
The survey is in Japanese, you can see it here. You will need an account to access further, so in case you don’t. Feel free to share your answers to this survey on the boards!
PoweredConvoy
All are available through BBTS (and I presume other US based retailers). Just not the Japanese ones.
Transformers Legends LG26 Scourge
Transformers Legends LG25 Blurr
Transformers Legends LG29 Wheelie & Goshooter
Type-R
I feel the same way.
I missed Wheelie and Blurr the first time around and would have jumped at the reissues if they were regular releases.
Darkstone
With Legends taking a break right now (let's hope it's just a break) I really wished those reissues were available through retail…
Type-R
The first TakaraTomy Mall exclusive Legends reissues have been released

Makes sense. I didn't if this reissue stuff was a Tak-Tomy vs Hasbro Asia type reissue
Crim
First round. Not this cancelled reissue cause, you know, it being cancelled….
Predakwon
So out of curiosity, is the LG Fort Max stock US stores like TFSource and Toy Dojo have some left over stock or are they the reissue that was mentioned canceled one?
GOLD5
My 'vote' was to buy them all the first time around so I wouldn't need to worry about not having them..

Im glad I manged to get myself SDCC Fort Max a couple of months ago. Best decision I've ever made, IMO.
Primus00
Good point. Still I hope people will preorder Metroplex.
Runamuck
I suppose. Still a shame, though. Oh well. Still glad Metroplex is planned.
PoweredConvoy
Probably because enough collectors got him when he came out, and part of the draw for the figure (based on Takara's advertisements for him) was as a surrogate for a Masterpiece Megatron in scale with MP-10 Convoy. Now that MP-36 Megatron exists, there is probably a lot less appeal to him.

This sucks. How can preorders for Megatron be low? He is quite obviously superior compared to the Hasbro release. I was thinking of pulling the trigger on him since I missed Takara's first release. ugh..
RKillian
It's a self-fulfilling prophecy though where stuff isn't ordered because it doesn't sell and then can never sell because it's never ordered.
This area doesn't really carry anything larger than voyager class either. Very occasionally they will have _a_ leader but space isn't even allocated for titans.
Mirage232
Good question. I figure Metroplex has less of a chance of getting cancelled mainly due to the fact that Trypticon is on the horizon.
Crim
I kind of wonder if my area (Denver metro area) just doesn't buy a lot of transformers toys, or what. Maybe that's why I've only seen one Leader movie Megs and a Black shadow as the "newest" TF items.
Blackout32
Man I wished they'd reissue LG 42 cause now I can't get him when I need him so so bad now.
Windsweeper II
Haven't thought of that.
That is awesome of you.
Marvel (and IDW) did have the coolest iteration of all three characters.
Exinferis
Err, yeah, I know. I am fan, I do keep up!
I have that PO'd, but I want LG35 to go with my LG42 Godbomber which I had in my Private Warehouse as the EX version was announced. Besides, not everyone wants the combined set as chrome puts people off. A re-issue of a hard-to-find fan-favourite is good for everyone.
OK. Like I said, Scourge was never released near me, so it's a moot point. Besides, I don't have the room to army build! I'd rather have one of each individual figure rather than take up space with multiples. (And yes, I'm aware of the irony having posted about wanting 2 Ginrai's!)
RKillian
Some areas outright skipped him. People that live in an area where every corner drug store orders 30 cases of every wave forget that.
