A few items of note:
* Rodimus is very G1-accurate purple-red-magenta. He has the purplest red of any Rodimus figure I've seen.
* Samurai Prowl's Recommended Retail Price is actually higher than those of all other deluxes; on the shelf he costs 25% more than the others.
* Waspinator is described on his card as transforming into a "mechanical bee". However, since the Japanese don't have separate words for bee and wasp this may just be a translation error. Also his rank is "Decepticon Mutant".

Don't exactly see the difference in Waspinator, other than a slight tinge to his little itty-bitty mandable-things on the side of his beast mode. Dunno about Rodimus. 
Many, many, MANY thanks to Godzillabot Primal for this downright amazingly AWESOME signature! DO NOT DOUBT HIS MAGICAL ABILITIES!
While you're still looking at my signature, read my HMW biographies! I even have one for myself! East Cybertron Trading Company forever!
Take a look at my collection!

Is the Japanese Samurai Prowl different (more chrome or whatever) than the US release?

I'd need to take a second look but I'm pretty sure all the gold parts are chrome.tigertracks 24 wrote:Is the Japanese Samurai Prowl different (more chrome or whatever) than the US release?

I'm a bit disappointed in the fact that the Rodimus car mode is almost hidden too low in the packaging. I had pre-ordered the Japanese version just to keep sealed on display, but it's quite a bit less viewable than the American Animated packaging.
Oh well, still looks great though.

I know it's sad, but I just want all the cards that come with the toys! Must be the ol' sports card collector in me.
