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.

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

Its what most fans think, including myself. That is why I still feel Takara's Blastoff doesnt totally pwn Hasbro's. Both companys got it wrong. In one its the alt mode and in the other, its the colour.

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.

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.

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/

Kinda stinks, but paying shipping charges twice instead of not at all stinks even worse.

I dont know where you are buying from, but if its japan that is not a smart move. Shipping is reletively cheap with medium packages (like an MP figure) but when you get into boxsets it comes to the same if not more to ship them 2 at a time than 1 at a time. Thats what I have learnt buying from japan these past few years.

Also, I just wanted to point out that my long crusade of saying that its the same price to buy the takara version than the US version was of course dependent on the exchange. And right now it blows. So while the Japanese price point may not have changed, the price in US got much higher and it might not be worth it as much (especially since shipping got higher too). I am not envious of those who reserved from Amiami for the upcoming combiners. Those with HLJ, I dont know if you can cancel your orders but check how much it would cost you with todays exchange, it might end up being more than BBTS when you include shipping and it could be worth it to switch out orders with a local importer rather than import it yourself (since the local importers hedged their exchange when they initially ordered).

He's in the clear then But I did want to write that since the exchange really creeped up on us quickly.

I'm going with "Take Down" for my head cannon name for Hasbro's CW Blast Off. The name evolved from the airplane equivalent of a space shuttle blasting off, e.g. take off, but also blends in the idea of the opposite of blasting someone off, that is, taking them down. Hence, Take Down.

Oh, I like that too. I was looking for an existing character. Though it is missing the red of the Beast Machines toy, the browns seemed similar. Maybe a Dark Energon infused Spy Streak? (Plus, I like purple more than red...)

Ratchet is nice. But the other limbs are better as the Hasbro versions with ReProLabels.

That still means he has to pay extra for them to look good. Reprolabels are 12$ per figure. And its stickers, meaning that multiple transformations may wear them out (it did for some of mine).

That's not quite correct either; it varies from figure to figure depending on how many applications there are.
So in this specific example, Wheeljack's cost 10$; but Hound's cost 3$. Trailbreaker, by the by, costs 7$ and Smokescreen costs 6$.

So excluding Smokescreen the person would be paying a total of 20$, which depending on sale prices for Wave 6 considering how long they've been out and we're moving onto Titans Return, might turn out to be more profitable.

Thanks I didnt know they were that cheap, that is much more doable!
