this is one of the reasons i like getting the takara versions.. sure, i'll pay quite a bit more, but it'll sometimes have a better color scheme, i'll get it WAY earlier, and i won't have to ever worry about not being able to find one.

i wonder how many more masterpiece figures hasbro would sell if they were on the same release schedule as takara.

personally.. i'd prefer buying domestically released figures in stores.. so i wouldn't really like online exclusive figures.. but the shared exclusive idea is great and is something hasbro should consider.

 

if they do it with year of the horse optimus why not the other ones

 

making them a shared exclusive would made thing easier for collectors, especially with amazon or their own store , THE BEST OPTION IS THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE SUGGEST IT TO HASBRO AT BOTCON
