I've done the same, but since apparently there is no difference whatsoever between this lot and the Hasbro versions (boo! :() I'll probably grab the Hasbro versions and cancel my order of these more expensive ones.Quote:

I noticed the other day, the fifth wave of POTP toys on HLJ (for release at the end of September), and the various official images have been grouped together here.
That's four toys in the fifth wave, including this year's Titan Class figure....
PP-28 - Solus Prime/Octopunch
PP-29 - Battleslash
PP-30 - Roadtrap
PP-31 - Predaking
And news has just surfaced of the sixth wave in October having five toys being released...
PP-32 - Alpha Trion/Landmine
PP-33 - Skrapnel
PP-34 - Tailgate
PP-35 - Novastar
PP-36 - Inferno
Takara are not even investing in the packaging for the PP line. They are just putting a Japanese sticker on the Hasbro boxes.

sigh
Guess I can safely open up my Hasbro versions now; the only reason to get Takara versions is if it is too hard to get Hasbro.
It’s so disappointing they are the same - I loved the differences between Combiner Wars and Unite Warriors, especially with the likes of Groove, Strafe, Nosecone etc. Made me happy to buy bothQuote:

A seventh, and possibly final, wave of POTP toys will be released in November in Japan, which covers the last of the 40 Hasbro POTP toys.
PP-37 Megatronus / Bomb Burst
PP-38 Autobot Outback
PP-39 Decepticon Cindersaur
PP-40 Rodimus Unicronus
PP-41 Wreck-gar
PP-42 Nemesis Prime

Fingers crossed for 43 and 44 to be Repugus and Counter Punch.
