Japan offering the Classics line

It looks like Japan is offering it customers the Classics line. It will consist of 4 figures at first, Optimus, Megatron, Starscream and Bumblebee. They will be priced at Japanese prices like $35 for Voyager size and $25 for Deluxe but for those who missed these figures, that seems like a small price to pay for them to be available again.

They will just have the C designation.
C-01 - Optimus
C-02 - Megatron
C-03 - Bumblebee
C-04 - Starscream

I wonder if there will be anything different about these versions or simply just repackaged/japanese stickered US figures.

The big question will be...new packaging or just the same rereleased US stuff they had been doing.
If anything goes wrong...blame Twin Twist

A friend of mine will be happy to hear about this. He missed out on Megatron the first time.

I hope they release megs in a G1 color scheme, but if they do, you know the price will go up more then the others.

$25 for a Deluxe figure? Wow stuff has gotten expensive in Japan.

C'mon Takara. If they make all six seekers, I'd buy them.

Despite not being into TFs anymore.

Wait for the TAKARA (Isn't it TakaraTomy now anyway?) Superior, Hasbro Inferior posts. You know they'll show up.

But a silver, red, and black Megatron would be cool. I won't hold my breath for a Starscrean with a silver or grey face,though. According to Japan, Screamer has a pasty white geisha face...which I guess is in character for him.

IIRC, that's always been the going rate for a deluxe figure when converted to US currency
