Be sure to check out the gorgeous shiny blue paint finish on Tracks - he has never looked sharper!

    Might be an option for those that have missed out on Wave 1 of the RTS releases.

    Very annoyed at Takara for leaving out the chrome on Grapple, but Jazz and Tracks are just AMAZING. I think I will need to get a few more in just to suround myself in their goodness.

    Pretty sure chrome is missing on all of United. We seem to be getting metallic paint instead.

    Yeah, but Grapple's marketing pictures and even his box show chrome and was one of the selling points over the Hasbro version. I dont care about the head colour and the Hasbro version has extra paint apps in robot mode while the Takara has extra in vehicle

    Out in both Singapore and Hong Kong. Singapore almost sold out of Lugnet, plenty of Tracks/Jazz/Grapple around.
    After seeing them - they look awesome! Superior compared to Hasbro products.

    Whaaaaaaa?!?? I thought someone bought Jazz locally... :/

    Anyway, I just emailed Hasbro Australia to see if they can confirm or deny this rumour... it'd also be great if someone could give them a call tomorrow during business hours (9am-5pm AEDST). I'll try _if_ I can find the time, but just in case I can't, here's their number: 1-300-138-697

    Thank you.

    Called. Left message yesterday. Still no reply.

    Interestingly I emailed them and got a return receipt that it was read by someone in China?!
