We have learned a little more on the Million Publishing vs. United Artfire details! Coloring will be different, Million Publishing will include two partners, Nightstick and Sparks, the UN version will include one, likely "Nightstick" but that is not for sure. The million publishing version will be limited, UN-32, will not. There may be more differences such as packaging, etc. If you want to change your preorder accordingly, please email customercare@tfsource.com now, so that we can modify your order!

It's odd Takara is pulling the rug out from under MP like that. While the two little buddies are a nice touch, I don't think the extra one will be worth $70 to me...especially when you could just find his original mold and redeco him yourself. I'm about 95% likely to be canceling that MP preorder...

I'll be getting both. One will be Artfire and the other will be Shattered Glass Inferno.

Re: TFsource News: Million Publishing vs. UN-32 Artfire Differences
I'm giving some serious thought to cancelling my preorder for the MP one. Any clue when that's coming out?
I'd really like to see a picture of this to decide which one I want. I don't really have any warm, fuzzy feelings for Arty and the $100 price difference between the two is really steep. It's cool we're getting a Classics Artfire, but I don't know if I really need to shell out the dough for the priciest one available; not if I have a choice.

Hey folks, here's some information that isn't really useful information so there. Oh and one of these is missing a Target Master. Maybe... There, all the facts, just for you.
I'm sticking with my initial order until we see what's up and can actually gauge what we want based on actual useful information and/or pics.

Re: TFsource News: Million Publishing vs. UN-32 Artfire Differences
If I were MP, and Takara released nearly the identical exclusive... I'd switch it TOOOOooooo.....
HAULER.
Odd that we're suddenly getting THREE new retool/redecos of this toy. Will that set a record for this size class?
That will be six. Trying to think if anyone else in the "classics" lines has gotten that many in this size class.

I think Classics Prime may still hold the record. Classics, Henkei, Ultra Magnus, Nemesis Prime, Crystal Convoy, Shattered Glass Prime and Black Convoy (not counting the cancelled Autobot Black Convoy)

I guess I need to cheer more for Hauler then. That would tie Prime!

I'd be right there with you. I want Hauler pretty badly. Seems like it would be a perfect figure for the club to do. Not only has he had a profile in the club magazine but he's in the last storyline as a background bot. Specifically issues 41 and 42. I'd happily pay out for him.

Wow didn't know Takara would pull a Hasbro and release an "exclusive" repainted figure in the main line. It is a huge price difference as well. I do like the extra Targetmaster but for that huge of a price gap i am not sure. I'll wait till i see pictures and then i will decide whether i change my pre-order or not.

Although is this a huge price difference over there? It's not costing them $140 if they order it directly...

Seven. Don't forget Asia Hasbro is releasing a blue version as Hotspot.

It's about 2000 yen difference ($25) and it is more difficult to obtain the MP version. You have to buy the MP magazine, cut out the coupon and then mail it in with 6000 Yen. I agree with everyone else, this seems very strange for Takara to do.

I agree it's still strange, but if the difference was only $25 I'd probably opt for the fancier exclusive with extra buddies.

Re: TFsource News: Million Publishing vs. UN-32 Artfire Differences
I'm holding on to my preorder. I display my exclusive figs seperately so I need an exclusive Artfire to go with my exclusive Stepper. I was willing to pay the initial price 2 months ago and still am.
WANTED TO BUY
C-125:Shoki, C126:Getsui, C127:Yukikaze, C129:Seizan. MIB + unused stickers PM for details.

Am I the only one smelling Arms Micron here?
Maybe the new takara version will have the panels on the back painted red instead of white and maybe finally we will get the ladder instead of the water gun/crane.

In our second piece of Artfire news for the day, it sounds like UN-32 Artfire may not be happening.
If you thought Takara offering a non-exclusive version of Artifre was too good too be true you may have been right! Last week pre-orders started appearing at on-line retailers for UN-32 Artfire, which was followed by news of what differences we could expect between the Takara and Million Publishing versions. This all seemed a bit odd since a Takara general release would step on the toes of the Million Publishing exclusive.
Now word is reaching us that UN-32 Artfire may not exist. Takara has denied the release via their twitter account, and Allspark member (and e-Hobby employee) Hydra had this to say:
It sounds like the Million Publishing exclusive Artfire may be the only game in town.

I don't know who decided that the supposed regular release of Artfire would only have one Targetmaster, but there is no regular release of Artfire coming. Million posted it on their Twitter account on the 21st, calling it out as a false rumor. I heard the same thing directly from TT staff, so you can safely assume that there is no normal version of Artfire on the way.

somebody done f***ed up this time. Whats that i see in the distance? a tidal wave of pure nerd rage?
this sounded off from day 1 to me. TFsource was the main source of info, the MP exclusivity being so close and the blatantly flipping off the fans that they know had dropped the money. i hope the truth of whats gone on come out, coz a lot of shops were taking preorders for this
