Reprolabel​s.com September Update: AoE, Generations, Kre-O

I was hoping for a set for Voyager Roadbuster.

Huh. Not that I expect them to cater to my likes and desires every month, but this month's update definitely seems a bit underwhelming.

And as for the new free giveaway... Man, are people still into that meme? This is like the first time that a free giveaway may discouraging me from ordering! Not that, as mentioned, anything in this month's batch of releases was calling out to me anyway. But sometimes, the giveaways stick around for two or thee months. I think if in next month's releases even if there was a set I saw as an awesome must have, I'd wait until the giveaway changed to something I wouldn't find so useless.

Although not something I'd ever use, I will admit those cassette stickers are a cute idea. But anyone wanting to color match all of the Lego bricks properly will have a long and/or expensive road ahead!

Give 'em another month or two, I'd be surprised to not see one come out.

i need that drift and AOE leader prime set.

So the Kreo cassettes are a great idea. Might look into those.

Am I the only one that wishes the Steelcore set was way over the top G1-ish? It's just too subtle as is.

The Kre-O set is pretty cool, though I'd really only want like 1/3 of the stickers. And then finding appropriately colored bricks will be a royal pain...

I got excited when I read "cassettes" thinking they were finally doing sets for the KFC casettes. Stupid kreo, I wish that crap would cease to exist.

Not that I particularly need, like or dislike any of these updates, I think it's still worth saying: THANK GOD FOR THESE GUYS! They've enabled me to spruce up by beloved G1's with fresh stickers, making them look almost like new again. You hear that Reprolabels? Free advertising!

The Optimus set is so nice, but the price is prohibitive. I'm waiting for the Takara Tomy re-release later this year with the additional film accurate pieces and accessories. Plus, TT tend to go film accurate with their paint decos, which might make this Reprolabels set unnecessary.

If it's the same deco, but new parts, then I'll end up ordering this set, which can be done pretty much any time, so for me, it's better to wait.
