    That blue WRX looks like the Streak mold with a Smokescreen head and the RX-8 looks like a silver Laserwave with a Meister head...

    ...just like the KOs.

    You'd think they would at least spell 'Impreza' correctly. And maybe include the manufacturer's logo...etc...etc.


    Release date: 26th June.

    I'll say it's fake- wouldn't these have been mentioned in some form at Wonderfest?

    It also looks like Bluestreak is using the Smokescreen instead of the Silverstreak head, which means it's just a Smokescreen without decals.

    Does the release refer to the character as "Bluestreak"? If so, it's clearly fake, as his name is simply "Streak" in Japan.

    This sure was a surprise! Bluestreak maybe, but passing on Meister.

    While it's nice to see new Binaltechs, my enthusiasm is lessened by the fact they're all repaints.

    I have no complaints about more binaltechs... granted these are real. More BTs translates to more Alts, a line I got rather addicted to (for better or worse...). I'm not 100% sure I believe this though.

    Jazz has a spoiler that looks like the aftermarket one on the Solstice, but not like the one thats available on the RX8.
    I work for a Pontiac and Mazda dealer. Would love to get some more Mesiters and movie Jazz toys since they're popular around the office, but combining the two is just goofy.

    Well, my Silverstreak isn't in the best of conditions, and I regret selling my Jazz... I wanted BTs of both those molds anyway, so maybe I can get these.

    Ok but you said i dont represent Irish transfans. I know this and you know this. So what is your point? If you dont agree with something i say then fine but dont be vague about it. Say what you dont agree with:thumbs2: 

    Anyhow back on topic. Not really looking forward to these. But if the line gets revived then woohoo:rock

    Um, yeah. i guess I will have to get these or my complete BT line wont be complete even though they are both utter crap. I mean really,l how many times are they going to cash in on these two molds. I mean sure they were probably two of the most popular molds, but DAMN. Let it die. What's the ETA and why didn't they mention then at wonderfest i wonder...

    These two molds would make sense since they seem to have been the most popular in Japan, since they are Japanese sports cars. It would be very much in Takara style to play it safe.

    Also, since when have we gotten really good information on Japanese releases? It seems they all begin as a sketchy scan before being confirmed by a vendor or magazine.

    Great news that the line is continuing! But bad news that they're releasing another Subaru..... the QC was already terrible on BTA Alert, I can't imagine it will improve with yet another release. And the straight blue deco is just boring.

    Meister looks nice in his new silver Laserwave suit, though. Shackwave custom, anyone? :) 

    Honestly the best part about this is just that it means there is still the chance for more BT's in the future.... c'mon, just release a red Ironhide-Scion and Trailbreaker, already!
