    I already pre-ordered Vortex, but now I'm thinking I want Air Raid! Love the addition of the trading cards. Any chance you would part with those Masabon?

    Now I'm worried we won't see Vortex stateside either. :(  He's the only one of those we saw that I really want.

    It has a really cool paint job but I will only pick it up if there is nothing else to get and also providing there is anything to get.

    Does the Takara version of deluxe Crankcase have the fingers cut off, like the Hasbro version?

    @masabon: Beside prime, is there any difference between takara & hasbro release except the fact that they came packed with a collector's card?

    Doesn't look like we're missing out on too much with Air Raid. MechTech weapons look neat in chrome though. Although I can't help but look at that "Look for Transformers Prime" advertisement on the packaging and think they're planning on releasing those guys before August.

    At first I was like, "No WAY! Japan's getting an exclusive Air Raid with this line!? While we get stuck with a dozen new Bumble Bees."

    Then I saw it was a repaint of Thrust and I was like, "heh, I already have that mold! Awesome."

    The old "Monkey-foot" Jet's pretty badass though. Some articulation issues but not bad.

    Looking at the colors I think Fireflight would be a better name.
    Air Raid was black. Fireflight was red.

    I picked up an Air Raid figure from eBay, and he arrived today. I have to say that I'm very pleased with him. Of course, on my shelf, he will serve as Classics Leader-1.
