You might find that the paint job will be the same as the previous Hasbro version. I noticed today at Toy'r'Us on Hong Kong Island, it was the same as the Takara version of the FE apart from the bloody great big hole on the roof for the gun.

I'd assume that's 'cos they're Hasbro imports/stock. The ones at Hero Gangu were at any rate - English packaging all the way.
Forgot to mention, they also had the Prime Cyberverse Commander/Legion thingies. You know, Scouts and Legends, Snack-size and Tiny.
Hasbro PRIDE Wheeljack, Cliffy, and Soundwave out in Hero Gangu.
Also, new United toys out, with BW Primal, Megatron, and sorta-Cybertron Unicron all at voyager price point.
I got Unicron, but stupidly forgot about the TRU bonus minicon, and so got him at Joshin. No free lurid green Nightstick for Odie!:(
Mainstream release of Japanese Prime Wave 1 stuff out. Ratchet, Bumblebee, Prime, Megs (Deluxe mold), and Skywarp for the Deluxes and Voyagers, the same for the Cyberverse ones but with Screamer instead of Skywarp.
Nothing I'm after in Wave 1 so no pics. Boxes have no clear plastic apart from Voyager Optimus.
I suspect most of the Prime stuff I get will be Hasbro imports, I'm not a fan of the stickers or the extra minicon ports.
TFPRiDE Vehicon, Knock Out, Arcee and Hot Shot at Hero Gangu.
I got Vehicon and Knock Out, since I should be getting an Arcee from Valkyrie at some point.
The latest Arms Mircon toys are out - Vehicon, Voyager Breakdown, Knock Out, Voyager Starscream.
Flying-car Vehicons, a few Arms Microns (bull/shuriken, chainsaw-thingy that came with Zombie Cliffjumper, three-barreled cannon/pseudo-Optimus, and the three who turn into a sword), shiny-Megatron-with-Ratbat, and Knock Out out in Joshin Osaka.
Who wields those three that turns into a sword minicons? Autobots or Decepticons? As for that Shiny Megs - is it just paint or did they do some chrome on Megs?
