Dial it back a tick.
I'd say
two times.
AGREED. I'm not digging this at all.
Are they just doing this so as to not have to mas produce for retailers and maybe save some dough, while making a little more listing it as an exclusive? Inquiring minds wanna know....
So when Hasbro does it it's fine, but when TakaraTomy does it suddenly you have a problem with it?
In all seriousness though, so far TakaraTomy has only done these exclusive items:
- Battle Shield Optimus
- Shining Optimus Prime
- Terrorcon Cliffjumper
- Orion Pax
- Thundercracker
All those Arms Micron repaints are nothing new, as store giveaways are really common in Japan. Mini-Cons and Microns, or basically anything small are cheap and collectable, so...
The resident Rewind... well, half of one
- Jelze Bunnycat =:3
Looking for:
- TR Furos (Hardhead's head) and Crashbash (lost him
)
- PotP Punch head
- TR Galvatron right arm (the gun one)
- CW Brake-Neck/UW Wildrider, CW Offroad
- TR Twinferno & Grotusque
- Greenlight, Lancer and PotP Elita-1 (plus repro Victorion hands and feet?)
