Do we know of any deco differences yet? I'm wondering if TT still have vats of metallic paint lying around..

Those prices

HAHA, nope! :lol:

I can definitely wait until they hit shelves in the US and pay 25-40 dollars less since I'm hardly anal about "show accurate" colors. But hey, Prime is an instant buy, as is Megatron and the nameless cannon fodder Decepticon. Now lets see figures for Breakdown and Knock Out! Oh and Ratchet...cause I need a medic for my autobot team.

Ditto, on both statements.

It's not much different than the prices for past Takara releases.

I'll wait for them to show up on BBTS, but either way, if the paint apps are better on Takara, then I'll go with Takara, if they're the same, then it's all Hasbro. It seems to me, at least based on what I've seen so far, that Hasbro is determined to re-create screen-accuracy as much as possible with their recent series (BW was OK, not great, Animated was superb and Prime so far looks excellent as well) so most likely, Hasbro will do these as accurate as can be, which will save us all some serious cash.

Thankfully it shouldn't matter much anyway with movie toys going away as there will be fewer lines on the market to collect. I'm certain they're going to continue Generations in some form, but as usual, it probably won't get a ton of new molds (they've done most of the popular G1 characters save a few now) so either way, the reduced number of figures should make things easier on collectors.
