There will be no reruns due to Lamborghini either pulling or not allowing Takara to renew the license due to some issue Lamborghini has with the toy. That's all he knew though. Although he did believe that because of this there will be no MP-12T Tigertrack, or any other variant. But apparently Sunstreaker is a separate license application so he may not be affected.

Guess we'll just have to wait and see.
I heard the very same relayed via twitter, hence I promptly hit up eBay for SS & now have him currently in transit; At the time I couldn't afford it when he was 1st issued but this news sort of made me find the money.
I feel that it's likely due to the paint issues which I see as more of a factory problem than a Takara problem, i.e. the people on the factory floor painting the figures weren't used to the quality of paint or construction of the figure.

That said, I wonder if we'll ever see an MP Jazz or Bumblebee? - Seeing as though Volkswagen own Porsche and the former is a "Don't even ask" state of affairs.
(I'm personally really looking forward to seeing an MP Hound & Mirage though )
