It's what I do.

Step 1: Realize reality for someone
Step 2: Offer rational advice based on reality
Step 3: Recieve free toys in gratitude

Right???

Seriously though, you're welcome.

Just to put things in perspective, you are complaining about a few store exclusives. Well most of the time we don't even get the regular lines down here (Mexico).

Generations, Reveal the Shield were completely absent, as were most of the later waves of the Movie figures.

We've just started getting the R.I.D figs down here.

So basically down here Its all online, and about 30 bucks shipping just to start.

Just being able to buy that 3rd party Megatron without having it raped by a orange cap is enough.
Oh, and Terrorcon Cliffjumper. Don't mind if I do.

Oh, and when the Hasbro MP-10 come out, I WILL ask a fellow Canadian Seibertronian to middle-man me one.

I feel your pain amigo. Sometime (more often than not), exclusives are a pain in the el burro!

Especially with the likes of henkei Skywarp (thank god for Hasbro TT and Thrust) but you get my drift?

As for the rest, well no choice but to live with the pain.........and the lack of funds.

Most often than not, I'll have to limit my purchases on G1 figs(the real vintage blocky ones and not the modern recolors) save me a lot of heartache.

As for the MP series, TomyTakara all the way.............though at present, still on the fence with Rodimus Convoy(btw, got the MP-10 already)and Starscream part trois is looking mighty tempting!

exclusive bull? STAMPEDE!

TO ANY AMERICANS OUT THERE: TAKE ONE OF YOUR AMERICAN BOX, LOOK AT THE BACK, AND SEEK OUT THE ®HASBRO. It was made in china, of course, but WHERE WAS THE TOY PACKAGED? Go on, I'll be waiting.

Prepare to shit bricks.

Joke's on you, I don't have any boxes. Oh, just so you know, Canada got FE Cliffumper, Bulkhead, Optimus, and I think the 2-Pack. America didn't get any

What's the point of replying you dont have any boxes? Just go to your local store and look at the packaging for crying out loud!

As for the FE, yeah, I justed missed Vehicon and Megs. For once, Canadians had something the Amaricans did not. For once, Americans were the ones to had to import some non-Japanese exclusives.

Which make me think. Any European exclusives that exist? I mean in recent years? The only one that I recall is the Cybertron Legend Starscream repainted in G1 colors that was given away with any pre-orders for the WarFor Cybertron video game, in UK. (Some years Later, it was given at a Hong-Kong con).

Just that, and the non-AllSpark blue Nightwatch Optimus Prime, and it was only the UK (And Japan for Prime). The mainland is more infamous for importing cheap American overstock.
Speaking of which, some US exclusives were made general retail in Europe:

- All Universe 2003 Micromaster combiners
- Movie 2007 Target Scouts

You're missing a couple. In 2010 as well as the WfC deco of Cy legend Starscream there were also the UK blind bagged versions of the Kmart Minicon 12 pack featuring some alterations to the decos and 3 remoulds and the supposedly Eurozone exclusive Minicon 8 pack that only ended up being sold in France and parts of Eastern Europe. I've got all of the 2010 Euro exclusives and plan to do an article on them as soon as I get my damned card reader back from my idiot little brother, not being able to upload pictures at the moment would make it something of a pointless exercise to do the write up.
