Takara Transformers Unite Warriors UW-07 Bruticus Exclusive Collector Coin

See the Defensor/Guardian coin & sleeve for sale here: They are all available at Amazon as of today too (NOT A PRE-ORDER): See http://www.amazon.com/?tag=seibertron07-20&>

Your link is wrong. Also Takara doesnt do coin sleeves, its always Hasbro Asia.

of the 3 UW I have so far (1 I got off eBay and the other two from BBTS) I have received the coin with all of them. I didn't expect it with any of them....just an added bonus I guess? --But oddly enough, in the same shipment as one of my UW that had a coin, I think BBTS may have found a small stock of UW-EX Grand Scourge somewhere because they came with comics, but not coins...?

I really hope I don't incite argument from this... but that darker brown is what Blast Off and Bruticus' chest should have.

No argument, but it has been debated quite a bit in pages past in both this thread and the CW thread. Simply put- Those that prefer original Hasbro toy are getting CW Bruticus, those that prefer original animated version are getting UW-07, oh and I just got me e-mail notice as well. because I live on the left coast however, it will probably take a few days longer to get mine.

Well no but like, even in terms of cartoon accuracy the brown used on Takara's Blast Off/Bruticus chest is too light. The one used on the collector coin's case is at the very least much closer.

Got mine, think I'll wait until Friday to see if any more Titans Return figures come in, save on shipping ya know?

Thats right, you wont get the coin. The coin is only with the Hasbro Asia release and since you bought it from a Japanese first party retailer, you will get the Japanese release.

But people who bought it from BBTS wont get the coin either (they arent carrying the Asia release). You will only get the coin if you buy this version: http://www.robotkingdom.com/ttmeuw07.html

Well eBay here I come I guess.

If its not written comes with coin it doesnt. They usually dont carry the ones with the coin when the standard release is available. Why make a whole seperate order from a different distributor only for the few customers who are willing to pay more for a coin? They do it for MPs, but not for these Of course, when only the coin option is available for them to carry (like Lynx King, Grand Galvatron ect) then of course they will carry it. But once again, in that case they would still only be dealing with one distributor since they are unable to import and stock the japanese version (which would sell for less).

Huh. I got a coin with my Grand Galavatron. (I don't remember if the site listed it coming with a coin.) I'll let y'all know when I get Bruticus in whether he has a coin. Like Chuckdawg, I'm waiting for a bit more Titans Returns stuff before shipping, particularly the Titan Masters wave 2.

But creepy video guy, i can find out of mine comes with one at the same time as you probably

Yeah, its like I wrote, they could only stock the releases of Grand Galvatron that came with the coin. That version wasnt exclusive (or limited) so thats the one everyone outside of japan got. Thats been the case since the begining of Unite Warriors. Your bruticus wont come with a coin unless you bought it from robot kingdom.

Yep, just confirming what you said. (Sorry for the confusion!) I cannot find the coin for Defensor so I may not have gotten one, which would also confirms. (I thought I had, but maybe that was something else that had come with a coin.)

Also....

Am I "creepy video guy?"

(Not that I would disagree with you... )

But you should have a coin for defensor, thats the only version that was sold by us importers (since that too was an exclusive in japan and thus they couldnt stock the non coin one). Its still described in the listing http://tfsource.com/transformers-unite/defensor/

Interesting...I wonder where that coin went...
