Yeah, that's the one. I'm looking at getting one for myself from o/s (even though I have the other two decos already - I'll find out how much to get an additional one for you if you like G?)

+ People who actually find these repaints appealing enough to splash an extra $50 each on them
...which I dare say would be a small minority of the consumer market.

Don't forget the parents with no idea, who are just buying a toy that has the right logo on it. I think that's where the majority of repaints go, otherwise how could all the squillion repaints of ROTF ravage sell?:eek:

Yeah I would be in if you can find them for a good price :)

I'm also thinking that wave 1 of RTS Deluxes (Jazz, Tracks etc) might have been skipped, considering wave 2 has dropped.

Actually, it would be good if they did recolour and rerelease Highbrow. It's a fantastic mould with way too much in the way of bad colour - anything else would be an improvement, well worth buying and (potentially) actually available on Australian shelves.

Sunrunner. With Flak as a botcon toy although universe Overload is a better representation all we need is Sidetrack and Big Shot and we have the micromaster battle patrol:D

Rightho, well HLJ it is then! $50 including shipping is not too bad.

What's the difference between theTakara and Hasbro release of Highbrow? I've been considering ordering on the net for a while and have been wondering.

They're near identical except that TakTomy AA-11 Highbrow features a darker colour scheme on the plane's underside.
