Probably not, because they're part of Fizban's, a fairly recent release, and would rob a lot of the point of buying it. I could be wrong, but I think not.

If you're not willing or able to to discuss in good faith, then don't be surprised if I don't respond, there are better things in life for me to do than humour you. This signature is that response.
Three years is nothing. They're not likely to then give it essentially for free with MM when they're a large chunk of a book they're making profits off of. Any reprints so far have been small parts of book (eg Harengon and Fairy from WbtWL being redone in MotM, Goliaths from RotFM were replicated in MotM, and again were small parts of MotM and being redone in the PHB. The large redos like VGtM and MToF (not to mention the MM, PHB, and DMG) were both examples of books being rescinded and replaced. I don't think they're looking to redo FToD any time soon.

Their using HQ rules from Acquistions inc (5 years) as Bastions so...
Yes, a book that they also gave away for free because it wasn't doing well, as opposed to FToD that has done well enough to spawn it's own line of books (like BGotG).
If you're absolutely convinced that they'll be in there then that's fine. Just... don't be upset when they're not, because it's not very likely at all.

Based on the UA for Bastions, they're really not. The rules are entirely different
The other thing to consider is that things that needed revision or updating (regardless of how you feel about said revisions and/or updates) are being printed in the 2024 Core Rulebooks. Later sourcebooks like Fizban's were designed with the knowledge that the core rulebooks were eventually getting updated, so I can't see them getting reprinted in the 2025 Monster Manual.

Do you think all 15 dragons be in the new MM? I hope so Gem Dragons are underrated IMO

Fiz was 3 years ago so we might get em just reprinted?

I’d say if we don’t see anything of them in all the dragon art they’re putting out, that’s a good sign they’re not in the book.
