Masterpiece MP-23 Exhaust

Is this done to boost the sale of this MP after all its not s well known character.

Just like TRU had to clear away the "Breaking Bad" toy line after consumers felt it was not an appropriate toy. Come on i am sure any toy TRU wanted to bring in or make has to go thru some sort of mgmt decision.

I bought it based on the fact it was a worthy collectible .
I don't smoke at all but it made more sense to get it over a Tokyo exclusive silver streak.

That's not all that was affected unfortunately. I also ordered the Ocean Design stickers for MP Wheeljack and they have been pulled too until something gets sorted out. If not, those pre-orders won't be filled.

Shame.

Who even orders MPs from BBTS unless they absolutely have to?

Americans?

There are a number as they get hasbro stuff and like using the pile to save on shipping.

I have not bought from bbts yet but I would not condemn them entirely as they do have a good order feature.

However is like hlj warehouse . Each to their own, I still find buying from Japanese online stores are cheaper without the exclusive coins or gifts. So you need to weigh up what's more important.

I don't think any American based or western based company can risk it we might need to custom make them.

...yet it was okay for AoE Hound to be "smoking" a "cigar."
I've read some fan comments suggesting that this may be more about trademark issues w/ a tobacco company rather than protecting children from tobacco advertising on an adult collectible toy. Just to clarify, this only affects Exhausts sold from US based stores and as mine's preordered from Japan-based HLJ, it shouldn't affect me, right?

I have mine ordered with TFSource. Wonder if they have the same trouble?
