The only deluxes with unpainted hubcaps are the military and civil service vehicles...but hey, who am I to judge if you want shiny things on your combat units?

Wheeljack looks MUCH better with the chest paint. The black shoulders and forearms also help to break up the boringness. He also pops better in white instead of whatever off-white color Hasbro put out.

Trailbreaker having a painted hand/foot/gun accessory, which would be a first in either line

Not true. Breakdown's HFG piece was lavender painted over black.

Really? I've never seen a pic of that...

Don't forget the Hasbro version of Trailbreaker had painted fingers

That's what has me a little worried. I buy from online importers like TFSource and BBTS. The going price for previous Unite Warriors Takara-Tomy Mall exclusives was about $159 after all the middle men and mark ups are figured in. I wouldn't be surprised if Lynx Master ends up being about $179 or more at such stores in the US what with it being a "double exclusive" in Japan.

I've seen sites like BBTS occasionally get a small restocking, but this is more than 24 (their max order limit for one item). It doesn't matter really as I already have Superion, but I was waiting/hoping that some of the others would go on clearance, Devastator in particular as it appears they still have many of them in stock.

Afraid not. All Unite Warriors releases have been sets of 5, except for Grand Scourge. If anything, it'll be Smokescreen that gets a special TT redeco, just to throw Japanese fans a little bone.
