    Thanks for sharing those comparison pics. The Hasbro version doesn't look as bad as I'd thought when put side by side -- it is certainly more cartoony looking, but I believe that was the intention. I prefer the TakaraTOMY colours, but at approx. half the price of TakTOM's RRP, I'll settle for Hasbro's when it comes out. The trailer also looks pretty good when closed up, but the Hasbro grey is abundantly obvious when open -- but that doesn't bother me too much as my trailer will be closed most of the time. The blue Roller is a nice touch - I like how Hasbro did that. I also like how Hasbro's added some paint apps on Spike's face, but I don't like the silver paint on where the sleeves are rolled up... what's with that??

    As for being made in Vietnam -- we all new this was coming as HasTak announced ages ago that they would be moving production from China to Vietnam due to increasing labour costs in China. So that comes as no surprise. I just hope that the use of Vietnamese labour won't see a compromise in quality... I wonder if Hasbro will reduce their retail prices now that they're using cheaper labour. "Ha ha ha, don't be silly, Gok!" - oh... right.

    The Hasbro one has blue roller, and bright/cartoon blue trailer parts and robot parts.
    JP version has grey roller, and dark blue trailer parts and robot parts.

    This is the Hasbro version from BotCon.

    It was working earlier, but the domain is timing out, probably due to a spike in demand at the moment. Keep refreshing, as it worked a second time for me just now.
