Toysdaily.com has posted images of new 2 packs soon to be released. Not many details are known about these, like where they will be release, if they are exclusive, or even how much they will cost.

What we do know is that one 2 pack will have Classics Jetfire and Classics Grimlock in it. The other will have Classics Optimus Prime with his repainted brethren, Classics Ultra Magnus.

We will keep you posted as soon as more details are released.

Why don't they release Classics TC with Classics Skywarp? *sighs* I know; convention exclusive. Still, a guy can dream. Yes?

Crap

Why can't they just rerelease Grimlock on his own?

I still haven't found him :(

Not to jump the gun, but I'll probably buy both of those confirmed sets, since I have none of them.

That whole convention thing still PISSES ME OFF!! I can understand maybe a rarer character(s) being exclusives, but to deny us all of not ONE but THREE major Seekers from the roster?!?!?! Give me a F-ing break! Plus you add in to that Hasbro said they will NEVER release those figures as loose figures.

As far as these two packs?? If you dont already have them, great chance to pick them up. Me? I already have them, so whooptee-doo.

Prime looks interesting. If these are $20 or $30, I'm interested.

I'd also appreciate it if they released a Hot Rod / Bumblebee / Cliffjumper three pack for maybe $25.

They'll probably do Skywarp and Starscream.

OMG, I can't wait for the magnus/prime set!

Since I don't already have a Prime, I'll have to pick up the Prime and Magnus one. It's cool that they're doing this.

A Voyager and a Deluxe pack and a 2 Voyager pack? Thats an odd move, as is chucking two of the same mold in the one pack...

Bet one set flies off the shelves, and the other sits there warming it.

I can't wait for Jetfire/Grimlock! I've seen many images of each and kick myself each time for not getting them. :-s

If they're cheap, the Grimlock/Jetfire pack might get purchased for repainting.

A Starscream/Ramjet pack would have the same fate. Possibly many times over.

A second chance to get Jetfire. Hells yah.

D'oh! So they're packing one figure I have with one I don't. Oh well, isn't that always the way?
Still any chance to get Mirage and Roddy is good. I can't believe I missed them. Rod was warming the pegs for ages.

Not really, Movie Scorpy/Blackout comes to mind

Interesting news. I guess i could shell out 20 for the Prime/Magnus two pack and repaint the Magnus into a Nemesis. since I was able to get the Magnus + Skywarp 2 pack, but missed Prime all together.

Still 2 Voyagers from the same mould does seem kind of odd for a 2 pack.

I'd like a Ramjet + Cliffjumper pack. since I missed those 2.

Of course you can never have too many Jetfires. But Grimlock really isn't that good to warrant a second purchase. Maybe repainted blue into G2 Grimlock. Or SnapDragon, even though he doesn't have a jet mode.

I may buy them too, that 2 pack thing is a deal too sweet to ignore, even for a classics/Botcon hating fellow like myself..

I passed on the previous Released junk, but I may just get these, only problem i see is they are only Autobots, I hope they do a Decepticon 2-pack with a G-1 (silver black and red) repaint of the Megatron nerf gun.. then all would be slightly forgiven.. Also TC and SW would be nice too!!

Wait a minute, they could do Starscream and Skywarp 2 pack, skywarp was released previously with Ultra magnus in a 2-Pack, so they could give us Starscream and skywarp..that would be nice.. :grin:

The sad part is, I already have Prime and Grimlock, but WANT Jetfire and Ultra Magnus.

Looks like I get my chance to do some repainting.

I'd love a pack with Skywarp in it. Since there aren't Targets in Canada and I don't want to pay RapeDollars(TM) on the Intertubes, I haven't been able to get a Skywarp.

I hope that if they DO release a pack with Skywarp, the second figure is either Starscream or Bumblebee (I'd repaint The `Scream into Thundercracker or repaint Bumblebee into a GOOD Cliffjumper).

Oh, and the usual 'I hope this gets released in Quebec.'

For repacks, these are good!

I mostlikely will pass if I see them, but only because I already have 2 of each(except Magnus).

I like how they don't have Prime and Magnus holding the same guns in there pictures too.

Wait, isn't grimlock smaller then jetfire? Why are they the same height, maybe grimlock is standing on more plastic to fool the little kids, or it won't look right?

i'm rather worried about these 2-pack releases...they might have the same quality control issues Hasbro had with the first wave of deluxe 2-packs. my SS/Rod 2-pack came very defective, with SS's cockpit glass (nose part) not flush with the rest of the cockpit and Rod's right elbow VERY LOOSE with no chance of repair. i hope there will be no QC control issues with this releases.

Reissuing the Classics is good, helps promote the line, but I do have them all. I did want another Starscream or 2 for repainting, hope they get to that.
