This. I would have bought the Hasbro version, but,
1) The Hasbro version wasn't even hinted at being a possibility when the Takara version was released.
2) Past MP releases have had woeful distribution and availability at Toys R Us making it almost impossible to find one when they are released.
3) That price is insulting. I imported a Takara version for significantly less than $100. Once you factor in the cost of driving around (time and petrol/wear and tear on vehicle), why would I buy the Hasbro version?
