Alas the other market gets the better paint schemes.

[Tekka]

Oh, yes! That Starscream looks so much better than the one I'm currently using as a corpse.

I'm very glad I ordered him, and the others too.

[trent hughes]

Is Japan honor bound to the Botcon repaint code?

[Liege Evilmus]

The Chrome on Mirage kicks ass, and Megs is growing on me.

Otherwise, I don't see them worth the import prices, or do I

[Professor Smooth]

I immediately regret my decision to import the Classics line. I bought the first wave when I was in the US in 2006. If I'd have known that we were getting far superior versions, I wouldn't have bothered.

[Liege Evilmus]

Isn't "Far Superior" a bit of a stretch?

[Megatron Wolf]

I must have that Megatron! Why didnt hasbro do that? How much are these things anyway?

[UltraPrimal]

Meh. The more I see these, the less I like them. I don't like how they have a little bit of chrome here or there, but then just gray. Either do it all chrome or all grey.

I don't think I'll be getting any of them. Not even Megatron, unless I see him for cheap at a convention. Though if they do release a Sunstorm or Nemesis Prime, a character that hasn't been done over here, I'll pick it up.

As for the BotCon question, I don't think we'll see a Japanese Classics Thundercracker, or the other Seeker exclusives. A lot of fans(and scalpers) would be really upset if they did that.

[Diem]

Why shouldn't we get the Botcon exclusives? It's quite a hike from Japan to botcon, you know?
