It has been a while since we had a last update.
Yesterday a shipment arrived at our warehouse.
Without further wait here a list of the new products

You plan on getting the set of Hellflame Microns like you did with the Shadow ones?

$70 each for Hotspot and Powerdive is ouch. I picked both up from Acestoystore for $45 each.

Passed on Powerdive as I can wait for US retail (esp. at $70+ s/h), but had to go for Hot Spot. Just something about this guy really intrigues me.

Aren't the Prime hands the same ones Fakebuster has on Shapeways?
"It is only logical, as I gaze upon the spark of this femme-bot, that I guide my dexterous manipulator and apply additional servos to the task of making it stronger, so that she may comprehend a femme-bot's expected role. Logic dictates."

While I can appreciate Toyarena's update, seeing these not-really-Asia Exclusives for sale for $70 a bit of a stretch. They will hit the retail market in just a couple of months.

However, I can understand those who have an abundance of money and/or a lack of patience to wait that long.

It's not hate, it the obvious being pointed out. Toy Arena is one of the more expensive importers, but they do get a lot of inventory which collectors need.

Honestly, all I care for is Hot Spot, but I'm not impulsive enough to spend $70 when I can spend $20-$25 in a few months on it.

You know if the Hasbro Asian exclusives were never comming to TRU in the fall I could see it being justifiable to sell these figures at the price now but it's ridiculous.
