The bigger question is, why will Amazon Japan ship CDs, DVDs, figures and books direct to me, but not Transformers? It just doesn't make any sense.
Even amazon.com has abolished their international shipping restrictions but amazon.co.jp still makes things difficult for us international buyers.

Incorrect. I just ordered and received Kreo Optimus Prime from amazon.com so check your facts before you run your mouth.

Why must this be exclusive? Why must Hasbro s#!t on our dreams constantly?

I don't think movie Starscream looks good at all in G1 colors.
I can't help but think that Hasbro will release it eventually.
Did Japan get Thundercracker?

i can imagine hasbro releasing this in a multipack (probably with another bumblebee) for the dotm subline that is surely coming

It depends on who you're buying from. If it's a seller selling something through Amazon, it's up to them. If it's Amazon themselves, as far as I know they don't ship outside USA.
So is this just a regular Takara release? I'd like to get it if possible. I like that it comes with the proper Mechtech weapons, unlike Thundercracker.

They do. I've even posted a screenshot of an Amazon sold figure getting by the address selection screen where it used to fail. I even got the Kreo set direct from Amazon. How much more proof do I have to provide? Buy somebody a figure? =(

on what NovaSentinel said.
I mean, Hasbro has given us 2 seekers, why not a third?
On the subline comment, good god I know, It's on it's way!
But hey, sublines arnt always repaints and re-issues,(At least not a good 5 or 6 percent of it), we usually get new molds, or creatively retooled older molds. if only we could get a GOOD Jazz figure outside the human alliance size range.
My question is,
Where's Mirage/Dino?
Where's Wheeljack/Que?
Where's Soundwave?
Wheelie Re-issue?
Brains?
Why the hell havn't we seen deluxe leadfoot yet?
Seriously, We usually have seen all the movie figures that were in the movie to come by this point in time. why havn't we?
Has hasbro all the sudden decided to become good at keeping secrets?
Mirage and soundwave better look GOOD.

Well, maybe we'll get it here as a regular release in the US, just many, many years in the future.
Here's a question for knowledgeable Seibertron historians: How many years was it between the first release (anywhere, like Botcon or Japan) of the first version of Classics/Henkei style Thundercracker and the Generations Thundercracker that we recently got in the US?
(I don't know the answer myself)

Face it Tekka. Hasbro's been sh!tting on us for a while now. They give us all of the figures we don't want (countless Bumblebees), and always give us two of the three figures in a subgroup. Why is there no deluxe Leadfoot? And now, they give us two of the three deluxe Seekers, and the third ends up being a Japan exclusive. Also, they gave us two leader class figures we don't want. I can understand Sentinel Prime, but why do we need a Leader Bumblebee and Ironhide? I don't know about you, but I would have much preferred to have an improved Leader Optimus Prime (if that's possibe) and a good Megatron figure. There hasn't been one good Leader Megs in the MBay franchise.
And yeah, I know it's available.

In all honesty I think you're looking at this all wrong. I know there have been debates about it before and I'm sure there was a consensus that having too many of the same mold on sale at the same time is detrimental to overall sales, which explains why they don't show up at the same time. Further to what you said, I find it amazing that you can believe Hasbro are treating us badly. From what I've seen they go out of their way to provide homages and little nods for collectors when they don't have to.
Even then, we got all the classics Seekers didn't we? We even got the complete Bayverse Seeker trio in the original Voyager class. They didn't all arrive at the same time but they all made it here against all the odds. Cut them some slack... It's not immpossible for Hasbro to release missing characters at a later date when the mold is no longer in heavy supply. Just be patient and keep the hope alive.
