*makes sure Hasbro knows how much Hot Rod loves those red wheels* :thumb

Didn't realize the site was something unknown.  I've had the dvd sitting in a saved item list on the site for awhile.  Just ordered him now (pay day was yesterday :-)  I ordered the Galaxy Force cd from them, so when that comes in I'll post it here to let you all know the company delivers.

Hasbro Repaint of Deluxe Exillion? $10.00

Crappy Custom off ebay from a Kitbasher because Hasbro didn't come through?  $30.00

Owning a Special Edition that is exactly what you want?  Priceless

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

not quite... i'd say priceless comes to about a $100 :tflaugh

 

and hasbro is all about repaints... in fact, i may just email them about this one ;)

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

 

It would be nice if they made it.  However, my guess is that they won't be able to/Takara wouldn't want them to.  Why?  Because why make up a special edition 'limited to 500pcs.' bot if you intend to repaint it in the same colors for the US market?  Of course, this is just postulation...but it is logical.

meh, Takara has no say in what hasbro repaints or even first paints it's toys as... equal partners and all ;)  But niether would hasbro skip a money maker just because takara had it's britches in a wad.  And i emailed hasbro, not that i expect a real response but it's worth a try

Seeing as Hasbro licences the designs from Takara (for most things and GF is one of them) and builds them under licence I suspect that should Takara desire they could all sorts of funny restrictions upon them ;).  Hasbro have never done their version of a Takara limited edition before have they?

because there is no market for it here in the US.. but They always do a Hot Rod redeco....  RID had one, Armada had one, and Energon had Rodimus

That kitbash rocks! I can't imagine a production model of that warming shelves.
