    Think of downshift there as robotmasters or something over here. it is somethign they cant get their hands on in store, and it lends it an exotic feel. SO, bad or good mold, it will at least pique their interest. Another example might be gi joe sigma 6. It is, in my opinion, a fantastic toyline, probably the best one i have seen (tfs are good, but this line is stunning) and i have seen, one admitedly, guy claiming to be from japan saying that he thought they were crazy. So think of it as an exotic type thing for them, just as the ths series was new to us.
