DELTAprime: Those images are from special collectable stores. You won't find Hasbro Transformers in Japan in regular stores, unless it's been expressly imported by TakaraTOMY. And the same thing happens in Australia; we have specialty import stores here that stock Japanese Transformers, but we rarely see them in regular stores unless it's a special import from Hasbro AU (e.g. MP Ultra Magnus, MP Convoy Perfect Ed., MP Ghost Starscream, Jetwing Optimus Prime, Encore Sky Lynx etc.).

And yeah, in Japan, Hasbro-exclusive Transformers are seen as being far more exotic since they never had them. The first time that I had a Japanese TF collector see my collection, he kept on marvelling at toys like Doubleheader and Quake! I've personally witnessed a Japanese TF fan walk into the room of an Australian TF collector and completely ignore Japanese G1 stuff like Lio Kaiser, Road Caesar, Landcross etc. and make a direct bee line for stuff like the Triggerbots, 1989 Pretenders, 1989 Targetmasters etc.!
