A while back, Big Bad Toy Store put up a pre-order for a Super Fire Convoy Reissue (Japanese version of the 2001 Robots In Disguise Optimus Prime). Fans of the line rejoiced as Car Robots and RID have repeatedly gotten the shaft in Hasbro and Takara's Classics/Reissue treatment. However, I am sad to report, it may have just been a pre-emptive move on their part to ensure pre-orders based on rumors coming out of the Asian market. Forum members are getting this in their inboxes (including me):

Hello,

The purpose of this message is to inform you that we unfortunately will not be able to fulfill your preorder for product TAK11741 C-001 Super Fire Convoy - 2014 Reissue - Preliminary Preorder. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this cancellation has caused. We have recently been informed that Takara will not be producing this product, which is why we are unable to fulfill our preorders. Due to this matter, all remaining preorders have been cancelled accordingly.

Thank you for your understanding during this matter and have a wonderful day!

Sincerely,

BBTS Customer Care

Hopefully one day RID will get some proper reissue love, but today doesn't look like the day.

If you want to check out what could have been, head on over to TFW2005's side project, a labor of love, RIDForever.info, one of the web's most complete archives of Car Robots and Robots In Disguise information. The C-001 Fire Convoy gallery is here.

And, if you don't have one, and really wanted that RID Prime, there are ample on eBay for a more reasonable price to boot.
