I'm sure it's been reused a few times. I know for a fact since I have my shiny new C-27 sitting right next to me it was used for Beast Wars, and the checklist goes from C-1 all the way to C-50.

It looks like BBTS already pictures of two of the Asian market giftsets. I imagine these will be released in Japan.

Jetfire & Grimlock combo

Ultra Magnus & Optimus Prime combo

2 packs huh? In that case, I'm hoping for SS/SW 2 packs. Would make some very convenient repaint fodder for me. I do like rainbow armies of seekers.

Aww poor them,soaking in enroes, reissues, ehoobys, MPs.....

But yes, lol, except that any collector there has already probably imported these from the US.

Now, they can get them in local shops. In large quantities!

Ohayo gazaimazu!

How in holy hell do you have 4653 posts in 3 months? Averaging 52 posts a day. They need to make you the Seibertron Mascot.

Wow, you sure are good in math!

I hope i'm not required to wear heavy sweaty bloated costumes.

Well, many members have posts in the order of 5 digits. So i guess i'm not that extraordinary.

LOL, yup, but they have been here for years. ;-0

I thin if there was an average posts per day count, you sir, would be the winner.

Agreed.
Auto Bot has, on average, outposted most people.

Now I can get the Classics I missed in Takara quality!

And I hope it's released around end November, coz I'm going to Japan at that time... :-?

P.S. Who's kidding? ;-)

Oh well. Ok, who else is going to Japan for vaca? ;-0 :lol:

I'm not going to Japan, but their toys have way of trickling down to the Philippines, and at a favorable exchange rate too. (Well compared to USD-Yen exchange rate though)

This is great news, but ouch these prices are going to hurt. These inflated prices seem to be in line with the prices that Takara charged for the movie toys. The movie toys were made in Canada and imported into Japan. I'm guessing the same thing will happen with the Classics.

Made in Canada? Darn! How come US Movie toys are made in China?

I got one Japanese Movie toy. How come he's made in China too?

As well as all my original Takara Binaltechs. All made in China.

I haven't had a TF toy yet that is NOT made in China.

3 Wishes when it comes to this...

1. Megatron gets his Silver paint applications with red and Black..no orange cap... that would sooo rule over all others..

2. Optimus Prime Voyager gets a remolded shoulder with Autobot symbol...

3. The Seekers all get released, and if they have to differ slightly from Botcon then fine by me.. but I would love to have them finally!!!

that's my thoughts..

Paint apps were shoddy compared to the other seekers. The face paint is really kinda blotchy comparatively.

Screamer had no paint aps, unless you mean the eyes, which were pretty bad. Skywarp kicks his butt!!

No paint apps? Isn't the blue stripe a paint app? Along with his goldish kneepads?

oops... I'm still tired, I meant face paint apps. Sorry for the confusion...

Yeah. A Classic Megs with G1 color will be nice.

Leave it to the Japanese to fulfill our dreams!

Where the hell did that Megs come from?? I tried doing the same with mine, but it pales to this guy!!

I just noticed both Starscream and Skywarp have a new style of body trim whereas Thundercracker is the only one to retain his G1 stripes. How odd.

In a nutshell I meant, his face looks like crap compared to Skywarps.

lets all hope that this becomes the Megatron from Japan, and they make sufficient quantities before BBTS and other shops buy em in Bulk and jack the price up by 200 Percent!!!
