G1 Reissue Bluestreak (Silverstreak)

[bluestreak56]

Hey guys,

I need some help, I dont actually know too much about the variants but I have a G1 Hasbro reissue Silverstreak which Im selling in a lot on ebay, but its different to my reissue in that it has a black hood and roof. I've looked inside and at his marking they are the standard Hasbro / Takara 1980 / 1982.

Is this variant alot rarer even though its a reissue? Should I be holding onto this rather than selling it? Thanks

Sounds more like the Japanese reissue of Bluestreak than anything else.

Cheers Phill I dont think it is a Takara one as it was in the box although not sealed, heres some pics I took compared to my reissue one which has UK markings on the packaging

Takara Co LTD

The Stamps on the black hooded version are:

I've just checked the stamps on my E-Hobby Black-Hooded Bluestreak and they are the same as your Black-hooded version if that's any help.

If you have got an e-hobby version there it should be worth more than the normal re-issue that's for sure...However I'm sure I saw a few Black-Hooded reissue Bluestreaks in TRU....but I could be confused.

This promo hasbro pic seems to show a BH Streak:

So maybe the first run were just like the e-hobby releases
