Malaysian website Toypanic has listed a pre-order of a possible New Encore Noise, Graphy, and New Frenzy Redeco.
Listed for 302.10 Malaysian Ringit or 72.95 approximately, it is expected for release on September 2019. Similar to the previously reported MP-10 Convoy X The Real Ghostbusters toy, this Encore release will be a “Hasbro Transformers 35th Anniversary Shanghai Exhibition Limited item”.
Noise (or Noizu) and Graphy are two of the most hard-to-find and expensive G1 Japanese exclusive cassettes. They don’t only transform into cool dinosaurs, but the can combine in one robot: Decibel. There’s no extra details on the supposed new redeco of Frenzy, since there only a very small picture of Noise and Graphy on the listing. You can make your bets on the new colors: Enemy? Anime colors Rumble??

Will Takara be releasing the dinocassettes? Has it been officially announced?

A simple Encore 4-pack of the Dinocassettes sure would be nice.

The rumored vol. 3+4 potentially in 2019 conjectured about at Hascon with the other two of the 4 w cassettes ^^

No, he means the other two Dinocassettes. Not to be confused with the same two only repainted.

I wonder if this has something to do with talks of Hasbro moving out of Rhode Island.
Also, if you are referring to the other dino cassettes from the Greatest Hits Vol 1 set, volume 2 with the other dino cassettes (and a gold Studio Series VW Bee) is out now with online retailers.

This is pretty big news here, in my opinion. This needs to be its own news thread.
EDIT: Couldn't wait. Had to start it myself.
G1 Cassette Hunter
Did not see this other places – no HASCON 2019 as of now – Hasbro HASCON 2017
Hope we do get info soon on those other two dino cassettes. Cause half a set is only gonna piss off more of us…

Well, there's a simple solution for what we're looking for: a permanent G1 subline on shelves. Hasbro basically starts releasing G1 figures and convinces stores to either stock them near the main TF section OR in the adult collectibles section elsewhere. Considering the power of nostalgia today (and the recent success of adult collectibles like POP figures), it makes a lot of sense to try it.

I agree with Zap.Scaplers will flock and grab as many as they can so they can jack up prices on the figures and to be honest it's very highly unintelligent to do that.But yes mass retail will work but I think those figures should have a normal release then just a online or retail exclusive or even a con exclusive.So I'm with you there Zap just let be like the normal Generations or Cyberverse release.

I myself would definitely have preferred not to have to buy a movie-verse toy alongside the dinocassettes, but if that kind of bundling is the only way Hasbro can justify taking the risk (and no matter what others say, it is a risk!) of making these available, I'll live. I've already sold the SDCC Bumblebee on eBay to recoup some of the costs, and I'm likely to do with same with Vol. 2.

Mixing these with movie characters makes me postal. Don't mix gen 1 with that hot mess anymore please. I am holding out on the Bee tapes to avoid movie figures and in hopes I get proper colors.

Thanks I just relized these had September 2019 release stupid me. I still don't know if Hasbro would release these in a volume 3 or 4 still could happen though.

Do you think they might go so far so to do both "regular" and "reverse" versions of Graphy and Noise at HasCon, or are we more likely to see a couple of split sets again, with the other set being available by some other means? (Seems Hasbro's favored method of artificially increasing sales.)

The link is already gone, leads to an empty page.
I\'d be surprised if Hasbro let Takara release the other Dinocasette team before they do. My money is on Graphy and Noise being HasCon exclusives to round out Volumes 3 and 4 of the Bee tapes.
gothsaurus
Now that\'s actually a likely mistake… thinking the third photo is Frenzy. Here\'s hoping maybe these exclusive releases are odd colored variants — maybe white, black, cobalt blue, or gold. 😮

I have the KO Dinocassettes but I'd definitely pick up an Encore 4-pack as well! I'm so glad they're still making G1 reissues so they're attainable for more collectors!
Thundershot
Hopefully it’s canceled so TT can give us an Encore 4 pack. Then all they need to do is the final four combiner cassettes and we’re all good

So, has it been confirmed that these molds were remade for those last releases in the bumblebee pack? I know someone said that but I wasn't sure if this was a fact or not. If they remade them it makes sense we will see more releases. Sorry if I missed this before.
