    Yeah, that's the one. I'm looking at getting one for myself from o/s (even though I have the other two decos already - I'll find out how much to get an additional one for you if you like G?)

    + People who actually find these repaints appealing enough to splash an extra $50 each on them
    ...which I dare say would be a small minority of the consumer market.
    Don't forget the parents with no idea, who are just buying a toy that has the right logo on it. I think that's where the majority of repaints go, otherwise how could all the squillion repaints of ROTF ravage sell?

    I'm also thinking that wave 1 of RTS Deluxes (Jazz, Tracks etc) might have been skipped, considering wave 2 has dropped.

    Actually, it would be good if they did recolour and rerelease Highbrow. It's a fantastic mould with way too much in the way of bad colour - anything else would be an improvement, well worth buying and (potentially) actually available on Australian shelves.

    Sunrunner. With Flak as a botcon toy although universe Overload is a better representation all we need is Sidetrack and Big Shot and we have the micromaster battle patrol

    What's the difference between theTakara and Hasbro release of Highbrow? I've been considering ordering on the net for a while and have been wondering.
    I'm really just here for the free food and open bar.

    They're near identical except that TakTomy AA-11 Highbrow features a darker colour scheme on the plane's underside.
