By then Bad Cube and that other company will have released their MP Insecticons.
Also, for the Hasbro versions, Shrapnel was released under Thrilling 30 and Bombshell was released under Combiner Wars. And you got two totally different shades of purple which really ruin the G1 team look in my opinion. Or if you go Takara, you get stuck with a grey Bombshell and those ugly RID faction circles. So even if they do a Kickback, having a perfect trio was already screwed from day one.
First of all not everyone is fortunate enough to buy third party figures hell I'm not even allowed to buy anything from the internet at all despite the fact that I'm 17 and am old enough to make those choices myself.
My Mother wont pay online either even if I give her money from my job to do so she distrusts buying things from the internet unless its furniture from Sears.
Second: Not everyone wants third party figures or Masterpiece figures (including myself)
Third: You can peel the damn stickers off you don't need to complain
Lastly: Do you complain for the sake of complaining cause that's all I see you do?

Well I am Australian. It's kinda what we're known for.

The stag beetle type Insecticon of the Decepticons. Good at overwhelming with numbers.LOCKDOWN
Leading many of the Insecticon corps, he can raze a town to the ground in an instant. Also known as an arms dealer.BOMBSHELL
The Decepticon Japanese rhinoceros beetle type that attacks in a swarm. Swears allegiance to Lockdown.
Emerje wrote:Yeah, and HLJ sold out just as fast which is rare since they typically buy in larger volume. I know beetles are a popular thing in Japan, but I had no idea the Insecticons were this popular.

And... now it seems they'll be fooling me again. That Nemesis Prime looks amazing. And at least i won't be surprised by the mold this time

However, the 1st edition one was perfect. But you already know that. Abrilliant use of the Prime RID Optimus is the Ultra Magnus retool. If you don't already own Beast Hunters voyager ltra Magnus, you should consider the TAV version.

It's almost like the sticker is made to come off, they're pealing off in the package. If you look at that shot of Nemesis Prime leaning forward with the axe in front of him you can see it pealed up on the edges.

Don't get me wrong, it looks really nice and I do like the darker colors, but I find nothing wrong with the US version and there's not enough wow factor to get me to spend that kind of money on a figure such as that.

Peel them off to reveal the genuine Shield for scanning. Alfes2010 left them on to prevent scanning from the monitor, as the warning on every blog pertaining to Adventure says.

And this marks the third Nemesis Prime in the Prime series, after the MECH and Hunter ones. Is that a record?

I don't get it. Is it supposed to be something special? I have Hasbro Strongarm, and TAV Bee, Steeljaw, and Junkion. All of them have the exact same sticker. The only difference is for the TAV ones, the circle around the faction symbol is multi-colors instead of just red and white.

The Japanese figures should have Dummy Stickers on top of the regular ones in order to prevent in-store scanning, if the sticker is readily accessible in package.

When unpacking, you do like you usually do with all of your other figures. You open it, and cut off any extra plastic covers, and you trash them along the rest of the packaging.
