kurdt and I ordered a pretty BIG box as well (I think around the same period) but they didn't pack in anything. :/

Maybe it was a random free gift? I certainly didn't know anything about it before placing my order. I only read something about it after searching google.
Also I bought through RK's ebay store, might be only an ebay promotion? :confused:

Vector Prime: The Japanese version of Vector Prime features more show-like colours whereas the Hasbro version is white. I'm surprised you don't already have one considering your namesake! :)

Interesting to see that Transformers in Korea are now being distributed by a company called Mocom instead of Sonokong. Wha--?! Wing Sabre's Korean name is Ultra Jet?! (o_O) Perhaps that sounds better to Korean kids than "Wing Sabre"...

Although I acknowledge the Takara version of Vector Prime to be more show accurate and overall a nicer paint job - The white Hasbro version ain't too bad either and I like it. I have both versions and was thinking of selling the Hasbro one after getting the Takara release but I am not sure now since I somewhat like it.

I agree. Both versions have their merits; just depends on your taste, and obviously if you're the kind of person who goes for show likeness, then the Takara version would be for you. I have the Hasbro version and I'm happy with it. :) I'm just paranoid about the white plastic yellowing! :/

rampagesss: congrats on getting Tigertrack. He appears in that "On Devils Ground" comic book that I recently sent you, so now you can play along as you read! :D

I like the white colour on the hasbro one, it's very brilliant and contrasts well with the blue. however the deficiency in the paint apps, the bland cyber planet key and bendy-plastic wings lost it for me.

Yeah I don't have a Takara one, but I have the other three Hasbro releases (along with an extra Galaxy Force one) so that should make up for it. :D

Yeah I like the white on the Hasbro version - wasn't even aware that it wasn't show accurate since I've never seen any of the later cartoons (post G1) :o

My favourite version, strange as it may seem, is the gold/bronze coloured Galaxy Force version :eek:
