    It was inevitable. Colour looks striking. I wonder what accessories will follow.

    Make it a limited release and watch the price go up & up.

    (could a moderator merge the 2 threads of the same topic)

    so what my supplier said is true... limited quantity might be a marketing gimmick - just like MP Evangelion

    Personally I think Silverstreak looks better. Still, it looks nice.

    August 1st release date at 7,992 yen (about AU$90), but as noted by others, it has a pre-order period in the first week of April... which means that it won't be released to other stores. If other sources have it for sale, it will be from this exclusive source (that sold four of the Cloud toys) and have a markup on that price for their own profit margin.

    After 30 years, we finally get an official blue Bluestreak "Gen1" toy... and they limit it to 2000 and only accessible by Japanese residents.

    This one is going to get very expensive very fast when it is released.
    (and being limited to just the JP market with a limited number, it is not likely to be released in the HK market... or have a chance at being released here)


    Did anyone notice the function on the image in the first post? "Cybertron Unknown"... it's almost like it is a tongue-in-cheek nod to this toy being in limbo for 30 years.

    Umm, supplier? Are you ordering a bulk batch to onsell? I'd love to get in on that - EARLY, before the price jackrockets on ebay
    On the lookout for MISB Headmaster Highbrow, Takara or Hasbro. I'm sure I could make you a sweet deal!

    lol limited to 2000 units. Looks good, but not sure about getting one if the price is excessive.
