It would have been nice to have runamuck-bout as original figures but not for this price.
...and just to spell it out with runamuk at 50$ (plus expedition) its the same price as iron factorys prowl,bluestreak... trio, or for the same 50$ i could get iron factory, soundwave, perceptor ravage and the birds, plus 6 guns. or for a little more than 100$ i could get unique toys hulkie. thats a wopping 6 figures, with so much more articulation and detail than a mold worth 10$.

A recent podcast confirmed there was such a rule. They could not redeco Armada Starscream as super mode starscream because Takara was doing it. So they wouldnt be able to do this if Takara already did it. If they were able to just give us stateside releases of Takra only products, they would have given us a lot of other stuff over the years instead of their own thing.

So people don't have to pay through the nose and jump through hoops for a d!ck-move exclusive.
I'm not just saying that as an American either, seeing as it's probably just as irritating to get it if you live in Japan. But also: 'Why would they?' Why bother trying to get this over in japan if you missed out on the short run of Runabout's

Its more of a limitation than a rip off since takara isnt making any money on this (moreso than usual). Its more them saying "you cant have it ". You have every right to be angry as I too find this unfair, but we should at least be correct in what we are mad about.

I'm honestly surprised hasbro isn't splurging these two out in a 2-pack, they seem so into the idea of repaints right now
Do they even know the amount of cash and cred they'd get for doing this?
(these would be 'unaltered' too, no 'dumb sticker's'...)
