So what about the person who spent the money just to go to BotCon just to get Exclusives and now they could have gotten it outside the convention for a lot less (less because you could not buy a Thundercracker without getting all the figures)? That is not elitist. I personally think people calling someone who bought a BotCon set is simply jealous.
Blanket post to all holdin your sentiment:
Dear sir/madam. Your North American exclusives are not available to the rest of the world at the price you paid for them. Takara, a seperate company, are allowed to cater to their market, which is on the other side of the world to yours. BotCon attendees are not more important than the entire Asian fandom. Thank you for your time.
You missed the point completely. No where did I say Takara doesn't have the right. My point is how can these be claimed to be "Botcon Exclusives", if there is no guarantee of that? Why not call them "Potentially never to be released figures available at a convention"? What would people say if the Universe Seacons were released a year later in Japan?
