Haha, thanks. So what did you think? Was it clear, did it make sense to you? Could you handle it if I am not around?
I think so. Just say BBTS is a takara scalper and that actual japanese sites like ami ami have the prices set at about the american price, just with shipping costs that may be large cause you're american! Booyah![]()

Awesome discussion points, glad to have you here Mirageandjazz! I actually believe that due to Takara's big emphasis on G1 accuracy, they wouldnt release LioKaiser. If they use the Skylynx mold, I think it will only be once and it will be for another awesome but goofy combining idea, as they did with Grand Galvatron (what an amazing name he has!).
I can totally see Computron though and I am super curious about how that will work out since Hasbro is also releasing him as a box set with (supposedly) the G1 members. So I dont know how much it would differ if at all. It is known that Takara does not care what Hasbro is doing for this line and will do what they want (if it's possible) but in this case, I feel that both companies might end up with a similar product in the end.

Yes. Now go to your room and don't play with yourself.

Haha, nice job. Except, its better and more apt to say that BBTS are not first party takara retailers (unlike amiami) rather than call them scalpers.

This is what separates the men from the crying boys.

I couldn't agree more with this. Combiner wars is what really got me into collecting and I couldn't be happier. I feel like the prime wars trilogy will push me to complete the entire line which is great for a newer collector, but terrible for my wallet.
As to your speculation from earlier I think that Takara will definitely release Computron but I'm not sure on sky reign. As for Liokaiser, I think they will since the character is basically theirs but I'm not sure how they'll do it. The Hasbro route would be easiest but I can see them trying to stay as close to the original as possible. However doing that brings up a whole new set of engineering challenges.

If a Leokaiser, I speculate retooling the shuttle mode into something of the B-1b bomber type or and over sized F14 swing wing type jet. But being 6 members of the Breastforce, TT might have to add a legend type chest piece vehicle.

These posts couldn't be more false.
Hasbro is not an evil corporation their a kids toy company ran by human beings that have limits and able to make mistakes they don't have an unlimited budget or plastic and Hasbro can't just do what it wants.
Their not deceiving you pal your deceiving yourself with your unrealistically high expectations.
Also that second line of yours in my quote is not exactly a nice thing to say.

I was thinking more along the lines of 6 deluxe figures. They could use the same limbs as the Hasbro ones with maybe some minor retooling and then make two deluxes that can make up the torso. I think it's possible to do but I don't know if it would be worth their effort.

Deceiving myself? No, that would be following you're logic. I'll go and just buy Takara.
And where did I quote you?

I mean, I like that they're finally doing Combiners justice with limbs being a proper size and not Scouts or something. But the mould reuse has gotten pretty bad. I feel satisfied with my purchases (UW Superion, Menasor, Defensor, and Devestator), but if I had gotten completionist on it and stayed with Hasbro I'd have probably gotten frustrated by now.

Yeah that's what I'm saying and it's an opinion.
So what if they reuse a mold if the toy is fun why complain?
Hot Wheels, Barbie, Lego and other toy brands reuse things all the time yet when Transformers does it Hasbro becomes evil money stealing people for trying to sell children's toys we should'f outgrown years ago.
Also everyone loves the Seekers and the Prowl reuses/remolds as well as other figures yet their just a bunch of repaints.

To be fair CW was probably the most consistent line in a long time with actual good figures. Mostly every toy was either okay, or really good, ESPECIALLY the deluxes. The deluxes were all good.

I'm saying you should not expect god tier quality from a toy company.
Takara is not any better then Hasbro believe it or not.
And you did not quote me I'm talking about your line in my quote about the difference between man and crying boys.

Its easy for all your year's deluxes to be good when you base them on only 7 decent molds and a sub par one (breakdown)

Precisely there is not a single bad figure in Combiner wars their all decent some greater then others but regardless still decent and fun to play with.
Toys are about how fun they are not about if some dude comes or does not come with some obscure gun only die hard fans car about or 100% accurate paint.
