TRU Canada listings: Plat. Ed. CNY Starscream, YOTH Prime & Grimlock v Bruticus

I'll get the prime and starscream if based on the masterpiece moulds, no if not.

Question you might ask yourself, why only Canada TRU listed these on their site, and now it's not there any more.

same for me. In honest I couldn't care much if I miss it even though I do not have mp 10, is a bonus for me if there is. If the colours are crap I may not even buy it.

Boring.

I don't know why Hasbro Asia refuses to use Beast Wars animal moulds that correspond to the Lunar New Year animals. Any of the many dragon Transformers could've been repainted as the Year of the Dragon exclusive (e.g. Transmetal 2 Megatron et al.), either Corahda or Nightviper could've been repainted for the Year of the Snake, and Year of the Horse... come on, what a perfect opportunity to reissue Mach Kick in an exclusive deco/packaging! So many missed opportunities...

I was thinking of this too. Just realised that using BW moulds, they could achieve 11 of the 12 Chinese zodiac beasts, even unlikely ones like the Rabbit, Goat, Dog and Pig. I can't think of a TF who's alt mode is a Chicken (unless they plan on repainting or heavily retooling any of the BW bird-formers).

And the initial rumors that Starscream was going to be the Supreme class version from Cybertron based on early solicitations:
here.

Wait and see I suppose.

I would speculate on the Cybertron version as well. It's not a great mould, but it could just be that the decision makers saying OK to this are the same people that were convinced that they could sell Energon OP a second time...

I hope its not masterpiece redeco's, otherwise it just means more MP's to buy than...

I think repurposing a birdformer could work for the year of the Rooster. They mightn't even need to re-tool if they go for a more cool-phoenix themed deco to pass off as 'rooster'. I think the bigger problem is that a lot of these toys aren't sufficiently large to fetch a decent premium. Perhaps a 12 toy zodiac giftset?!?

Giftsets probably the way to go!

Probably a good thing that the current Lunar Zodiac line isn't very good - imagine waiting 12 years just to complete the line

Let's dance, Prime...

I hope we get him here, especially with the price of the platinum stuff so far. (Exc. Grimmy )

I don't care if there's a horse on the side of the trailer, I NEED IT!!!

Just noticed the gold chrome on Grimlock only happens in two parts with the old gold parts still there. Not sure it's worth getting anymore.
