With all that being said, cost wise shouldnt the Hasbro version be the one selling for $80 and the Takara for $45 ???
Where in the nine hells do you take your prices from? BBTS? If that's the case, it dosent count because BBTS must recoup an extra shipping cost from Asia because the Takara one don't come from the Hasbro warehouse. (Don't argue that point, please)
Based on BBTS, UM cost 47$US+10$US shipping. So, 57$ total. I dunno about taxes, but you may have to pay some, being online or retail.
From Amiami, never mind the suggested retail price, it cost 5650JPY, meaning 47.37US. At worst, add 15 or 20$ of shipping.
So. basic price:
Hasbro: 47$.
Takara: 47$.
EXACT SAME FAWKING PRICE.
Now, would you kindly stop your pointless rant?

Are you stubborn and blind on purpose?. Click the link I provided above, in the quote you missed. You've been on this site for how long and you never hear of Amiami, even tough we keep talking about them and providing links? Or dod you get such a hard-on complaining about everything that you purposely ignore every facts that proves you wrong?
Also, a simple Google search can give you a $ converter.
I put in BOLD some parts you missed in the quote. You'll ignore them too?
Sigh... Talking to you is like shouting against a brick wall.

When filthy rich white manchildren complain about how capitalism is oppressing them I can't help but to laugh.

Exactly, nothing wrong with how Thundercracker and Starscream look! It's Jetfire they should be hating on.

Was a little disappointed to read that the fist don't rotate. Think it's odd since the fingers have some articulation.
Wondering is HasTak is trying to design their newer TF toys to make it harder for Third parties to create replacements parts for. Had CW Jetfire and CW Ultra Magnus had rotate fist. It would have been easier to replace them with hands with articulated fingers.
Days ago, Saw the hollow back of CW Ultra Magnus. Was sad to see that.
Think Takara's version looks nicer with the better darker colors and more paint applications.
With all the problems this toy has, Don't think it's woth my money buying the Takara version. Only have enough love for the toy to buy the Hasbro American version.
Can accept that not everything needs to be perfect.
Already got the Two perfect G1 Ultra Magnus toys. MP-22 and that KFC Citizen Stacks toys.
Still find it funny that CW Ultra Magnus has more range of movement in the walking hips than MP-22 does.

I love my Jetfire, but the hollowness of the underwings is pretty obvious for the seeker versions. It's a bit unsightly. Still, this will not stop this here Starscream fanboy to buy Screamer-sama once he's out. I wonder if some sort of 3rd party upgrade could fill out the underwings? Like tiny panels that would just snap in every slots? Then, some labels on top to cover the lines.

Posts relating to that discussion will just be DELETED.
