I didnt know that was from the special edition, guess I have him then (I went for the TF Expo exclusive that comes with an autobot sticker instead of a tampo). Also, hat means you went well over your 55$ cut off. But I understand and share your weakness. I guess we can say that 45-55 is what we will pay for the Hasbro version
Exactly. I didn't wait because I'm tired of Hasbro's one a year deal they do with MPs. Also I heard from many different sources when Takara started doing cars that it would be extremely difficult, if not impossible, to get the cars released over here. As of right now I'm being told with almost 100% certainty Bumblebee will never see a US release.
Was it due to licensing then? We know from the alternators line that the licensing is done locally and that the Japanese headquarters are more open to licensing their name to "war toys", hence why their version Alternators Windcharger had a long barrelled gun while the US version had it neutered.
In any case, its too bad we wouldnt get bumblebee, and I really hope sideswipe comes out in the states for all to enjoy. Same with Wheeljack.
