Just imagine Drift is white.
Haha ok. I just realized that usually on shows, the first wish is always the dumbest.

It's all good; here, it's spelled 'freebie', so maybe that can help in avoiding misinterpreting giveaways

mi amigo, wasn't serious about that but when someone makes fun of the original (as I said, post G1 Bb by Bay is the yellow menace) I go cuckoo locco....
Anyways, if I got it correctly, the "mook" has a coupon and you need to mail it (domestically) within a deadline and they ship it to you. Scalpers are gonna make a killing unless there's a set for the Asian market.

I mean, it was hard enough to get Viper here without paying inflated prices (bbts, tfsource, etc), I can't imagine what it must be like to try importing Viper to Japan - assuming they care enough about him to want him...

Except that it is not Viper. It is Dogfight and just uses the Viper retool of the mold. Also Takara didn't make a conscience decision to make this figure a Million Publishing exclusive. Just like FunPub does with Hasbro, Million came up with the idea, presented it to Takara and they approved it. Takara may still use the head later down the road.

I don't think that's even the biggest problem here. The bigger issue is making fans buy the magazine to get Runabout's other half and one of Override's partners or making kids buy the magazine they probably don't want to get two figures for the kid's line. All of the previous Million/Hero-X exclusives have been for the current kid-friendly collector's line (G1 reissues, Henkai, Generations, etc.), but this is the first time they've done exclusives for the current kid's line with a cartoon tie-in (Transformers Adventures). Seems a little crueler to the kids than getting a freebie from TRU after spending 3,000JPY, about US$25 which isn't much since a Deluxe/Warrior figure is 2,700JPY.

Yeah, that was either pre-planned between the two of them, or million x pre-empted TT's releasing the second twin; or TT didn't want to release him, and shelved the idea 'til someone else wanted it, but it all amounts to the same thing => d|ck move
On a related note, is it difficult to obtain this if you live in Japan?

Yes and no. I'm not sure how the magazine dating works in Nippon but the mook itself was scheduled t obe released or solicited last Nov 2015. So once you received it you must clip the coupon and mail it ASAP before a certain cutoff. Pray your mail makes it before it. I think you also pay for shipping depending how far the Prefecture you live in.

Wolfman Jake wrote:It's not really THAT wacky that Million Publishing is doing a Transformers Adventure exclusive this time. Yes, TAV is ostensibly a line aimed at younger fans, but adults will collect it too, either out of interest in the new characters and fiction, or because Takara crammed in a bunch of "Classics" releases in there as well (Powerglide, Cosmos, Override, Shrapnel, Bombshell, Runabout, etc.). Kids might be interested in this exclusive, but why should they be? They have no idea who Dogfight or Runamuck are. They're not "must have" characters or even featured on the current cartoon. Only older fans will understand who they are and want them for the sake of "completion." Takara and Million Publishing are NOT sticking it to kids with this box set.
