RAR wrote:Takara has from time to time reissued it's Transformers either as they were previously or with slight changes (as with THS-02-B) I think I read Exhaust is getting another issue soon for a further example.
I wonder if the demand for Defensor will mean either the set will get a Hong Kong/China release a little later or if it will get a straight up Japanese reissue.
I'm certain demand is higher than supply on it so it would be worth their while making some more.
RAR wrote:If it gets a China release then that wouldn't be an exclusive.
I can see them perhaps offering stock in a few other ways in Japan maybe via affiliated websites like E-Hobby or their store programme might simply allow it to be ordered again. if not that then they may have help some stock back to sell at Toy shows or events that Takara is present at as that happened with the Cloud toys.
Regardless I don't think Takara's Defensor is gone forever.

Of course it's still an exclusive. Because the china release is not the japan release and costs more. It also comes with different stuff (like a coin). The japan release still remains exclusive as does it's lower price.
Lets go by another aproach: Are you saying that because Walmart in Canada sells the platinum seekers, then they are no longer Target exclusive in the States? It doesnt work that way, they are still exclusive to that chain in that country. Just as Defensor is still exclusive to takaratomymall in Japan. And all I am saying is that I would much preffer him to not be exclusive if a rerelease occurs because:
1: Takaratomymall charges more than every other Japanese retailer
2: Takaratomymall doest ship outside Japan

So take a reworked Defensor torso, four randomly colored grooves with different head sculpts and the legends Wreck-Gar and you have a Junkion combiner Which, honestly, would be such a great use of the Combiner Wars concept that I'm gonna be disappointed now when it never happens.megatronus wrote:Sabrblade wrote:We're getting a Legends class Wreck-Gar.megatronus wrote:Everyone talks about Groove being retooled into Afterburner, but honestly, I think this mold might make a better Wreck-Gar/Junkion.

Not only that but one of the big things of the Junkions is that they can ride eachother (cue immature laughter) and this seems to be a feature of this Deluxe Groove mold Yuki seems super proud of. The RTS was able to make that work too but that mold had some serious issues.Sabrblade wrote:We're getting a Legends class Wreck-Gar.
There is currently both a legends and leader Thundercracker one on top of the other (oh man, there must be better ways to write) at both my TRU and Walmart. The idea of only having one figure of a character per line doesnt seem to hold up as much as it used to (I am reminded of that whenever I search for generations Optimus).

For the torso, I was thinking a retool of Sky-Lynx into an '86 Movie-esque shuttle - either an Ark-type shuttle or a Junkion shuttle. It wouldn't be exact, but I can totally see the Junkions having some beastly shuttle-former.

In normal "car parked on chest" mode, the thing refused to stay put and kept popping off. It looked not that good anyway so I did a mod. I just shaved a bit of plastic off runabout's shoulder joints, allowing them to fold backward. Now Runabout have Motormaster's nipples firmly in his grasp and he look like an armor peice, not a car parked in a silly place. Furthermore, the big is the right way, dead center.

OK. It's a loincloth. Is it that surprising, coming from TAV Runabout, official Chief of Propaganda?
