I will probably regret that, when i find out the only way i can buy it is importing it at great personal cost, waiting months for it to arrive only for it to be seized by Royal Mail until i pay the import tax and £20 ransom fee.

i assumed it was their version of movie accuracy.Sabrblade wrote:I really can't tell if this is supposed to be Takara's answer to a movie-accurate redeco of this mold, or if they just wanted to do it in black for fun.

More like, "We already have an Optimus toy, what do we do with the Power Attacker to avoid duplicate characters outside of Grimlock?"

Wouldn't be a repaint to Japan, as they never got the Power Attacker Optimus in some form until now. They did get the One-Step as an exclusive.

My point is that it doesn't make much sense to take a toy designed for pre-schoolers and give it a paint job that appeals to collectors. The audience for one-step changers probably don't know who Nemesis Prime even is. It's a strange combination. Then again, Japan is a strange country.

And yeah, it's weird making a collector-orientated version of a kiddie toy.
