The shades of greens and browns used on the Combaticons are very lovely.
TFSource is a tiny bit shady like this. The one tactic they do I hate the most is how they describe the the TTMall exclusives which they can only get as the Hasbro Asia version. The Hasbro Asia version is not in any way exclusive (aside from the fact that you wont find it in stores) and as limited as any other Hasbro release (like the Zodiac or Platinum releases, so not limited at all). But they still want you to buy the product and to make you feel like you are getting a limited/exclusive product (which you arent, only the Japan edition is limited in terms of you getting a limited special price). So this is how they write their blurb:http://tfsource.com/masterpiece/mp-11nr-ramjet/
This highly sought after masterpiece brings the popular seeker Ramjet to the Takara Tomy lineup with an all new color scheme and exclusive to TakaraTomy Mall! This is the Asian market release of this product, and highly limited in its release.
They twist it around to make you think you are getting one of the 2000 limited TTMall toys. But you arent. You are getting the more expensive, less limited version. It is not highly limited in it's release, there is no actually number given. The only truly accurate line is what I put in bold.
I understand them of course, they have an expensive product to sell so they do their best to sell it and make the buyer feel good about their purchase. But it's still phrased to make the buyer think something which is not true and one step away from a bold faced lie. And they write this for every one of these.
