On first viewing, I thought the thread title said the toys were SOLD OUT in Japan, which had me going "really?"
I find it interesting Takara kept the Hasbro WCF-S numbers (on the side with the name) and added the Takara number to the bottom.
So is the "TRANSFORMERS SIEGE" label something that slides over the box as we know it...or is it a part of the overseas version of the packaging?
I kind of thought Japan would have these items before we would? Make sense since Japan came up with the idea of leading to Transformers with the help from Hasbro
sadly I have yet to see ONE seige figure at a Toys r us or any other major retail chain here. I of course always pre-order my figs from amazon but still, sad to see only movie stuff on the shelves of toys r us. At least in my area
