    Can someone alert the OP that the front page news post contains erroneous info? The price is in Yuan, making it sound 150-ish dollars (as stated by some of us in the posts above).

    Much appreciated, gents. Been super busy this week and this one was a bit of an oddity, so apologies for the mixup and delay for the fix.

    No problem. I suspected that it wasn't Japanese, due to the lack of hirigana and katakana text. A quick Google search brought up their Facebook page with their Hong Kong background.

    At least these guys don't really pretend to be Japanese, unlike the overpriced "Tokyoflash" watches, which are based on Singapore and have nothing to do with Japan whatsoever. While I'm at it, the "Super Dry" brand of clothing is also not Japanese, but British (and features laughably bad Japanese written on all of the clothes).

    Buyer beware!

    It's not even an "argument". It's my opinion. You don't have to like it. I personally enjoying it when my Transformers transform. ESPECIALLY when the cost is more than 50$

    I hated G1 to be fair. Action Masters were lame. the figure designs of all the g1 toys were bad. And I understand that it was 30 years ago, but in my opinion it should've just stayed in 1984.

    Would've enjoyed Combiner Wars more if each character had their own mold. And that those molds weren't blocky legends class engineered figures with a near 20$ price tag. Titan Returns suffers the same problem as Combiner Wars except with Head Masters as the gimmick instead of combining...Which Head Masters are TECHNICALLY combiners. As for Masterpiece it's real hit and miss for me. Having owned and played with one of MP-01's many reissues and repaints, I liked him and felt that The remake Optimus was unnecessary. Not a real fan of the sudden attention to scale which I always deemed unimportant when looking for a good figure. 70$ for an offically made deluxe is lame and not worth my money. The only figures that needed remakes were Megatron and the Seekers. HotRodimus had problems, yes, but ultimately the Original MP-09 is way superior to that new voyager crap that honestly looks less accurate in robot mode. I love innovative Transformations. Which Is why, after the Thrilling 30 line, I felt a serious hole start to form. If I have to play inflated prices for good figures, might as well go all out. So I've been getting 3rd party when I have the money. As for Titan Master line. It's cute, but the lack of Poseability for the head masters really irks me with there being mini-cons that can do more.
