    'Limited Quantity'?

    Not as limited as most of Prime's First Edition line, I'd wager!

    (Hey, *someone* was gonna say it.)

    This wave of United is probably more limited considering these are Japan / Asia only releases and First Edition Prime toys were found in Canada, the US, and Japan / Asia. Plus the Japanese ones seem likely to be restocked based on HLJ's current status of them. That and even the most limited releases from Hasbro are still in higher quantities than a full blown release in Japan (figuring how many people are located in both countries).

    Yeah, I wondered if that was a fluke when I got my G2 Prime. Apparently, it was an on-purpose fluke....

    UNITED is a toy to tie between DOTM and PRIME.I think that I released UNITED in conjunction with sale of PRIME.Therefore there is little number of the circulation of the UNITED toy. It is difficult to look for it when I fail to buy it.
    I regret that I do not buy it by all means on a sale date if I want UNITED toy later.

    Maybe Tomy-kara is taking marketing lessons from eBay sellers. The next toy line shall have labels that read "SUPER RARE LIMITED EXCLUSIVE OPTIMUS MEGATRON VHTF!"

    I think all Henkei and united toys are limited in quantity, that is until they reissue...
    Given the collector's market, the high demand for these toys justifies the limited quantity. They are all relatively more expensive than their predecessors. A limited quantity justifies a higher market price.
