Well I am Australian. It's kinda what we're known for.

Hasbro is releasing Star Saber? Did I miss something?

Maybe even sooner.

Actually, Skywarp is a Hasbro Asia release, not a TakTom release.
That's why he's so damn pricey.

Why would that be pricier than Takara? The Hasbro asian rerelease of MP 10 is at least 100$ cheaper than the upcoming TakTom rerelease of MP 10.

I'm not sure why that makes it pricier, but if you'll look at the Asian reissues that have come out recently (Starscream, Sideswipe, Red Alert) you'll notice that not only are they more expensive, but they weren't sold at Japanese sites either.
The Asian rerelease of Prime is of the TRU version (in the U.S packaging), and is around $20-$30 more than when he was initially released over here.

Is there a new Takara Tomy MP-10 reissue coming, I might have missed that news. Honestly I wish they would do an MP-10 without the trailer like they did with MP-10B. I don't need another useless plastic box that takes up too much space on the shelf and will just end up back in the package.

Yup, next year in April, it was in this news post

Just to be clear and you don't think of me as a dufus, I was talking about a fee when these are purchased in the states. I said that Asia market releases sold in the states cost more than US releases sold in the states. Since asia market exclusives are not sold in the US (by definition), they must be imported, hence an extra cost that raises how much it costs in the states. Was this clearer?

Actually, that post is perfect for this thread since it pretty much answers it. Here are the 4 upcoming Takara reissues of 2015:Emerje wrote:There is no "import fee" for Hasbro's Asia exclusives, they're made right in China just like everything else. If anything they should be cheaper.
