Dddaaaayyyuuummm... that's terrible! People would certainly be within their consumer rights to demand a refund considering that the product isn't quite as described. Feels quite misleading. If they're going to modify a product from its original state, then they really ought to inform customers IMHO.

I just had a quick look at HLJ, Robot Kingdom, Anime Export, and Chimungmung, and Exhaust doesn't even turn up on their web sites! It looks like they've completely removed this toy from their listings. Amiami still lists it, but as "Order Closed." The only place that I can still find Exhaust for sale is Amazon Japan, who currently have 18 new for 10980JPY ($115) each, or 1 used for 9600JPY ($100). I know that this option won't be available to most folks since Amazon doesn't ship globally, but there's the link for the few of you who might be able to use their service (i.e. have access to a Japanese postal address). Admittedly I'm not a big online shopper, so perhaps there are other online stores that I haven't checked.
