Why would they do that? They get no profit from secondary market resale.

IDK, there just has to be more than "Whoops, we used the wrong color plastic."

stopped by TRU on my way home and to my surprised they restocked, well kinda. They had new prime voyagers but no first editions(unfortunately they were $26.99 so no dreadwing or magnus for me). i told them to go frak them selves (im not kidding either i told an employee that TRU can go f them selves & he said im not the first to say that). But anyway with a little digging i found a FE Arcee, but in order to get the deal i had to get a FE starscream since it was the only other TFP deluxe. Deciding if i want to sell it or repaint it into slipstream. Well if anyone really really wants the starscream ill sell it to them for $100, just kidding im not a douchebag scalper but if your interested PM me your offer and best one wins.

EDIT: question, are the deluxes the same as the first run o rare they different like the voyagers?

Mistakes happen. Let's leave it at that. Hasbro hasn't got the brains for a toy collector conspiracy. ;)
Top 5 Priorities:

1) BW Neo X-7 Elphaorpha
2) BW II VS-18 Powerhug vs. Autocrusher
3) Universe 2003 Night Slash Cheetor
4) RiD Landfill (regular, not the yellow)
5) BW Convobat (red) & Megalligator (purple)

Also looking for any clear Arms Microns, like Shadow (Gora & R.A.), Hellflame and Shining (O.P. and R.A.).

It's the same place the translucent Optimus wasn't painted.

Just opened mine and Optimus has the missing paint. Doesn't really bother me because he'll be displayed in bot mode anyway. :MAXIMAL:

It seems they forgot to change the paint mapping from when they did the transparent run of the mold.
