I believe so.

In over a decade of Masterpiece toys, Star Saber is only the thirteenth base mould they've produced (plus four base cassette moulds.) Star Saber was only chosen because it won a fan vote. So they would have to think carefully before devoting a slot and resources to a toy with almost no recolour potential or US market.

See Sky Shadow's post. Also, if you (or anyone else) really want an MP Victory Leo toy, then be sure to elect/nominate the character on Q.38 of the online survey. The more people who vote for Victory Leo, the better the odds IMHO.

The former rather than the latter. TakaraTOMY aren't allowed to take Hasbro markets into consideration when developing toys (unless it's a joint venture w/ Hasbro, which in the case of MPs, it's not). But the lack of redeco potential would certainly be very relevant.

I suppose a makeshift black "Nemesis Leo Prime" would work at a pinch...

More likely, some 3rd Party group or another will put one out. Probably a few of them.

Haha, good one. Hey, at least letting her know the news after she thinks you're having an affair, will make her happy knowing you're not .

Heaps more images from a recent JP hobby magazine... mostly featuring the gimmicks.

Still six months away from release, and the toy looks completed. I guess it gives them more time to pre-sell it to western fans, to make it worth the cost of producing it.
