Wait till the US retailers get them. Hasbro said at Toyfair that is coming to the US and the reason it only got released in Asia was they didn't order enough.
There was a post somewhere about the non-US issues going missing, and that they'd send them out again.... whenever they get around to it. :pQuote:

Have we ever tried this?
See the group buys section of the forums. It at least saves on shipping.Quote:

I think it works for the handful of American online stores because they have such huge turn-over and demand (larger population) to better deal with odd case assortments, but here, the turn-over would be sporadic and the case assortments would make it very inefficient (like Case Fresh, who would discount a lot of the stuff they were stuck with).
Does anyone know the release date for TakTom Generations Rhinox and Waspinator?
I thought it was supposed to be next month, but there seem to be a lot of pics emerging so it/they may have been moved earlier.
I want that Rhinox dammit.
Does anyone actually own the rights to the Autobot and Decepticon logos/faces? Hasbro or Takara? I see them plastered everywhere from cars to T-shirts etc. Just got me wondering. :)
