    I wonder if that means that they will also be securing a batch of the "Jetfires" for local release. If they do, it will give some people here a second chance at it.

    What's stopping this from being an official ROBOTECH x TF collaboration in the first place?

    Just by adding an Autobot insignia, i expect the sales potential would be so much greater; it'd be a win-win scenario.

    I'd guess Harmony Gold.
    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.

    Same as what's stopped that for 40 years now - Harmony Gold is mindlessly obdurate and litigious. It really does seem that they operate on a doctrine of it not mattering how much money they could make, or how much they demonstrably don't make, but that so long as somebody else stands to make money they will forbid it.

    It’s available for preorder at BBTS if anyone wasn’t aware. Bit too small for me I think. Especially for the price. And I don’t want the dramas with the LEDs.

    Ignoring that Hasbro doesn't license out the rights to make transforming Transformers(with some exceptions that are things they'd never make anyway), Probably the Lawsuit HG filled against Hasbro over the 2013 Transformers x G.I. Joe SDCC boxset that had a GI Joe SkyStriker done up in Jetfire's colours with a Booster/Drone to mimic the VF-1s Fast Pack

    Got so excited that I also went and chucked the pre-TF deco in with my POL at BBTS.
