FYI, Takara Jetfire is quite different from the Hsbro release sicne it does not have chrome, which was quite a departure for Takara at that time. Its there that they went from being exra chromey and premium to being more toon accurate.
Megs doesnt have that much difference though. Basically, I can get why anyone in japan would be sad of the cancellations but no one from the US or anywhere else should be since it doesnt affect them. Anyone who wants to get these cancelled figures still can. And quite easily too.
Yeah, if I was an importer like bbts/tfsource, and I saw that there were still leftovers in the warehouses from the initial release, I certainly wouldn't be in a hurry to order more. That probably put a dent into the pre-orders (or lack thereof), but, it's just good business sense.

That has nohing to do with this though. Improters cannot order from Takara, that is against Takara's contract. Takara only judged preorderd based on japanese people preordering from takratomymall. Like i said in the news item, none of this really applies to any of us discussing it unless we are japanese.

That just confirms the age old saying that talk is cheap.

Refresh my Memory. Was the VOTE in any way restricted to only those who could even order these figures, or was the vote saturated by people who maybe wanted these figures but were not actually able to order them and Takara did not realize it?Hellscream9999 wrote:william-james88 wrote:Hellscream9999 wrote:william-james88 wrote:I love G1 as much as all aspects of Transformers and Titan Fort Max is a dissapointment.

The poll was only for the Japanese, and so were the preorders later.Flashwave wrote:Refresh my Memory.

william-james88 wrote:I am sure the same would happen here if Hasbro did that too. Many would vote but few would buy when the time came to put their money where their mouth is, simply because voting costs nothing. Everyone asks for a Metrotitan, but if Takara actually released one right now for $250, would everyone who asked for one actually buy it? Did everyone who liked the idea of G2 redecos of the combiner wars figures actually buy them?
