Unlike with Hasbro's constant revamping the Generations line with phase after phase of new themes, Takara's Legends line is all one and the same line with no such segments and phases. Takara might feel content with the previous Legends Brainstorm release and decide that releasing the Deluxe in the same line would be redundant.
...Unless they pull a LG-EX Rattle and release the Deluxe Brainstorm as another LG-EX style exclusive to make more special than the previous one, but I doubt many of us Westerners would find favor in that option.
I thought that at first, but there's one very important thing to argue against that.
Takara's Voyager Brainstorm is not Headmasters-accurate.
They're giving Headmasters-accurate heads for
everyone. Hardhead, Skullcruncher, Weirdwolf, Cerebros; all that jazz. And it'd be very weird for them to have Headmasters-accurate Deluxe Chromedome, Hardhead and Highbrow without a Headmasters-accurate Deluxe Brainstorm. The Voyager sticks out like a sore thumb.
It's not like it's without precedence anyway. If they wanna have Deluxe Brainstorm, they'll have Deluxe Brainstorm.
