I agree, I will probably buy this and sell my hasbro one. No need for a masterpiece when he looks like this.
The only thing I am wondering now is if this will be a 3 pack.

Good question. If these had individual numbers associated with them, I'd say separate releases. Combo packs, like Trailbreaker and Hoist, usually only have one number. These are all labeled simply as "LGEX," so who knows. I would think they would have added numbers after the "EX" just in case they wanted to release more special figures in their Legends line.

I looked into it. The EX means Exclusive. These are show exclusives like the previous LG EX figures Armada Megatrona and Black Convoy. These will probably be Tokyo Toyshow exclusives. Meaning anyone of us who wants these will hve to pay.

If that's the case, my instinct is telling me to expect a three-pack.

I dont know, they were both double the Hasbro price.
The point is, this isnt a release that will be widely available, these are show exclusives and people who arent going to these events will end up paying double the Hasbro price. Whether that is a lot or no is up to the individuals. But they will have to pay more than usual none the less.
Rattrap and Waspintor will be $40 and Rhinox will be $60.

Yeah but on the sliding scale of convention exclusives on the aftermarket Takara's price ain't that bad compared to funpub.

So Hasbro has beaten Takara in terms of show exclusive exclusives honouring Beast Wars, from my perspective.

That's actually FunPub rather than Hsbro themselves, unless I've drastically misunderstood how the process works. Thus far, all Hasbro's offered is that overpriced red Primal, but Botcon and SDCC may change that.

Hasbro brought its own people to plan this, from the people who did the art, all the way to those who did the bios (who is a friend of mine). Fun Pub ends up releasing these toys, but the theme (and characters used and the molds used) is all Hasbro's decision.

I've got a feeling Hasbro's much more hands-on oversight of the club this year (at least as far as the BotCon theme) is a preview of what's to come with the "restructuring" of the club for 2017 and onward.

I looked into this and this is no better than Hasbro in the end since these are con exclusives and not in any way accessible to any of us until the aftermarket which will be pricey. Hasbro is also doing the 20th anniversary of beas wars as con exclusives, but instead of rereleasing figures, they are giving us new figures (retooled with very different deco) which make an updated version of Tripedicus.
