I don't think there's any parallel between which Australian vs. America reseller gets the exclusives.

I think I prefer the realism of Takara for Skywarp. Plus, if I got this, I'd have to get Thundercracker. I wonder if Hasbro will eventually release TC?

Also, regarding packaging, while I didn't see the MP packaging, the G1 Reissues (Insecticons, Soundsave, Perceptor) are in Universe style packaging.
