Bear in mind that those toys are produced under Japan and Asia safety regulations.
If Hasbro is "kind enough" to bring those here they will probably be something that is made in different material, slightly changed color, and tuned features that fits the safety regulations in US and other countries. Same thing applies to other 2010 campaign products including the upcoming Prediking.

So basically you might see plenty of the same toy in the market in the future but there are still 4020 pieces of the TakaraTomy version of the toy available.

 

I just updated the 1st post with a custom showing the 2 versions of bio cards available.

and apparently, double sided printing is very costly.
Trust me, it's not worth the trial, error and wastage. damn.

 

Hey,
I just bought one and I am a bit confused. As I am not going to open the box, how do I know which version I've got? Does the Japan version have the number written on box and the asian version only on a card inside the box? Which one will be worth more in the long term?
Thanks Guys
