So these G1 Walmart Reissues: Are they an official line?

[FreakNasty]

Every other Transformer release, has some sort of offical line and waves attached to them and has their own Wikipedia page.

This one doesn't.....Anyone have any word of this being an official line and if so, what do we call it? Walmart Reissues? 2018-2019?

Its because for the first time, these are just straight up reissues with the packaging and all.
I consider them all individual releases. So for instance, Bumblebee would be the Hasbro 2018 G1 Bumblebee Reissue.
And thats it. The line is G1.

That makes sense. Wheras previously there was the specific "Encore" line, or the TRU reissue series with unique packaging. Or super random one-offs, or Platinum which was... all sorts of crazy crap.

We also have very little information about them. Part of it is that the distribution model is old school. Instead of like wave 2 of Siege being a box full of Prowls and Ironsides and others, the Devastators all came in their own box, same as the Hot Rods. The minibots were the exception.
