Looking at the first announcements of the toy, BBTS used the name Bluestreak instead of Streak, which led people to assume it was the blue diaclone version. Then Seibertron claimed it was going to be the (blue) diaclone version, and so with those two sources, it took a while before it was corrected... and by that time, those people on various fansites who got caught up believing something that was never even officially announced as being blue, got upset about it as if it there was some great deception or tragedy happening. :rolleyes:

It's just toys people... if they are officially change, or even were never officially revealed as something else, it's not the end of the world. Buy it if you like it, and move onto something else you do want if you don't like it (or get reprolables as a last resort). :)

Also, it's not too late to cancel your Exhaust pre-orders (or if it is, sell it -- I'm sure someone will buy it!)

I didn't notice the differences straight away am happy enough I'm still able to get what I wanted without much hassle - an evil-looking bot with big f*** off sunnies ;)

Edit: Gotta stop comparing the photos as the rate of contentment-decay is proportionate to the time spent looking at those photos.

I say just wait for it. To be honest, it is still Marlboro colours, as Marlboro has tried using barcode style as well. I am not overly fussed, a bit disappointed but what the hell.

I reckon the trademark infringement prototypes still exist and would go for a ton of cash.

Or get shocked with KO version doing it without a care in the world.

This might be getting cancelled now

I'm hoping the latest news on this causes them to give in and just release Slicer instead :)

I doubt that TT would have gone to the bother of announcing the updated deco to suit the US market WITHOUT running it by the lawyers first....

Especially seeming it's a US only issue, and they cater for Jap/Asia, not the US!

It's still up for pre-order on Amazon Japan.
