My theory is that with either their shape (BW Megs) or their accessories (BW Primal), they could not fit into TT's deluxe-sized packaging, and so they had to upgrade one size category.
I can't wait for Axalon, the others are passes to me.

That makes no sense to me. They're freaking deluxe figures. Are fans paying for a voyager box now?

They wouldn't fit in the deluxe packaging, thus Takara had to bump them up a category. We saw this coming a long ways away, I'm surprised people are surprised.

As there are interesting happenings elsewhere, I'm a bit grateful for that.

Didn't Hasbro make them fit in deluxe packaging? I was never interested in these but remember them on a card.

Still, I'll pass on all four.

They were and did fit in the card BUT if you compare a deluxe of AEC to a deluxe of today you will notice that they are more bulky in size. The United packaging was made with the modern figs in mind.

It's REALLY stupid to have these guys marketed as voyages. What a rip off. Couldn't they have been packaged in robot mode?

My friend, I believe we have to agree to disagree on this one. I definitely see the logic behind the move but I say once a deluxe, always a deluxe.

It's pretty funny the only ones boxed have Cyber Planet Keys, maybe that was a deciding factor?
