    I'm interested in getting Unicron, even if it's just the Cybertron toy repainted because I don't own one already. I feel the same way about Optimus Primal. Oh, and it's a good thing they're releasing Windcharger and Hubcap so I don't have to pay ridiculous prices for Scout class toys.

    can we change the thread title to "new united repaints" instead of new figures they are repaints after all.

    im aware of the exchange rates and the prices are reasonable when you consider that but this list still comes to $550 not including taxes and shipping over here thats just crazy.

    I hope that I don't get a Negative response to the idea of Energon Slugslinger in G1 Slugslinger colours. I think that's a worthwhile idea.

    I think it's certainly more desirable than some of what they're pushing out.

    I think that could be a contender for the next United wave. Other possible molds that Japan hasn't had yet include:

    Energon Tow-Line
    Cybertron Downshift
    Hardtop
    Shortround
    Armorhide
    Skullgrin
    Black Shadow
    Junkheap

    Japan also hasn't had Acid Storm, Ultra Magnus or Classics Cliffjumper yet.

    I don't think they'll touch any new molds or any of the recent molds with new heads before Hasbro does them.

    You're not going to see Acid Storm.

    I tried to get CHMS to make a matching pair for Hasbro's Acid storm no luck yet though. I thought they'd look good in Desert Camo and Urban/Arctic camo so they'd still be Yellow/Green/Blue but camo style. - Ramjet had a rare blue camo version though so perhaps a white belly and blue top for him instead.

    G2 Starscream was part camo too so I think camo Seekers might be fun...

    I don't know what Takara would do with that other than Black Starscream though (Robotmasters style).

    After Henkei, I said I was done with the Rodimus mold... but fuck me if that deco isn't amazing.
