    Was originally going to pass on Roadrage, but I found him in Akihabara for 3890yen. Pretty much all the major stores seemed overstocked; dropping prices by a few hundred yen a week until I couldn't say no anymore.

    If HLJ drops its price to match these vendors I may consider getting her. As it is I dont want her enough to warrant getting her when you factor in postage for the single figure.

    I find it odd that TakaraTOMY would do obscure characters like Exhaust and Road Rage as mass store release figures. Objectively speaking, I think that these sort of characters are better off being done as limited exclusives. A shame that Tracks is shelfwarming. I hope this doesn't put a dent in TakaraTOMY's plans for releasing the rest of the Cars as MPs.

    Anyway, we all vote with our wallets.

    P.S.: If MP Road Rage is shelfwarming in Japan at cheaper Japanese RRP, I can only imagine how the Hasbro version is going to fair when TRU releases it here. I could mention something on TRU AU's FB page, but we all know that it would simply be a waste of time...

    I wouldn't do it even for $40. Not a fan, waste of my display space.

    Do the Japanese not like Tracks?

    Only thing I can think of is I know it the west some people claim Tracks is gay, and I've heard that in Japan they don't like gay characters, but I assume that aspect of the character would have been changed in the dub if it was true.
    I have a list of all G1 characters that have been released in CHUG form. You can find it here. Please feel free to let me know if I got anything wrong so I can fix it.
