You're ordering from an outfit that routinely "mislabels" the cost of their goods to be lower than the next competition? 
Normally I wouldn't give a frack where you order but given how you made such a big issue about Dinoser's cost?

Could these all simply be painted Hasbro figures at this stage? If so, I wonder why the Headmasters would lag behind in production like that. The larger figures mostly seem to be finished products, or at least ready to hit the mass production line.
All of these look to be at different points in production. Triggerhappy seems to be final, though we haven't seen his head in bot mode to tell what screw it has. Kickback also seems to be final, the wings give that away since Hasbro's has yellow wings. Brawn is entirely hand painted and may be Hasbro's repainted, check out the open top being black inside for no practical reason just like Hasbro's which was black for the windows. Same goes for Repugnus and Clouder, both are entirely coated in paint, not molded plastic.
Anyway, these all look fantastic and I've put them all on order with AmiAmi. I'll be keeping my Hasbro versions as well, when the differences are this big I don't mind double dipping sometimes.

Uh, what? I've been using AmiAmi since 2010, they're always my first choice for Japanese figures. I currently have 13 open orders with them for 19 figures. They've always had some of the lowest prices around, that has never been my issue. In fact I have no issues with them at all. All I was pointing out, and I can't believe you STILL don't understand it as many times as I've explained it to you, is that the price they start with includes tax, that way when they do a discount the percentage off is bigger and more impressive. That's all.

This isn't the place to be discussing a businesses pricing policies.
Let's end that particular line of conversation.
Oh and fenrir72, Emerje is allowed to order from where he wants, he doesn't need to justify his buying habits to anyone but himself.

Not long ago I found a Six Shot and I feel his over all look is a good homage to his G1 counterpart. Should Takara decide to give Six Shot a spin I can only see them giving his wheels paint like G1. Not too much more than that IMO We'll have to wait to see what happens...hopefully not too long a wait.
Anyone think Takara may tap Sky Shadow for release?

I believe so, yes. I think in the TR thread there was a pic of the shield pegging in as a backpack.

It is, it needs to come off for transformation as it pegs over the legs in truck mode.
You can then relocate it to his arm in robot mode, or peg it to his back.

Maybe it's time for Takara to get in on that build-a-figure market! Release half of Enemy with those guys too; the other half can come with Rumble, Graphy and Grand Slam!
(Definitely did not just go through TFWiki to find every red mini-cassette to ever have a toy)

I already wanted to get kickback only for clouder, that just makes it harder to say no.
