    Which is the Takara version and which is the Hasbro version for Chromedome. Did the writer identify which version is on the left and right. Like Takara is on the left and hasbro is on the right. Did I miss something?

    Why  couldn\'t Takara modified the ankle to give it tilt and add forearm covers?

    If that Weirdwolf fixes the issues with the cockpit hinge, he's an instant buy. Otherwise, I'm skipping.

    Here, I vegged out for a while with my phone and Photogridded these up for an even better comparison:

    Did these ever go up for pre order? When do we expect to see them in stores?

    Wave one went up a bit ago and sold out immediately. I'm not convinced they were up for more than a minute or two, to be honest. They're supposed to be out sometime in January.

    Uh... ok. He’s hardly a new or obscure character.

    When all of the Walmart versions came out, did the price of the 1st version of the Titan Returns figs go up or went down on Ebay? How do reissues usually affect the prices on Ebay for the older version.

    Do Retro Headmasters have codes? E.g. something like RHM-01?

    depends on how old and its rarity like if its g1 highbrow he would be some what $50 but if its titans return then it would depend if its a takara or hasbro release if its hasbro then it would be $20-$30 bucks but if it was a takara release it would be $50-$200 bucks and you have to see what exclusive it is like if its "french dog store" exclusive then it woud increase the price but if we're talkin walmart...no chance if it was online or in store Ebay though...maybe nothing

    i can see g2 skullcruncher but at the same time no i have the krok figure and its got some missing paint-apps and some of the colors are incorrect like on the box it says some of the paint (and the weird gem looking thing on his head) are red but for some reason pink

    I'm ok with the LG versions. Good for those who need this but a pass on these will make it easy on my wallet.

    It's looking more like that if this is a 4 figure case- one is double packed or there's a carry over from wave 1.

    You took the words right out of my mouth, and it does seem to make that GOC Dominus set Nightbeat-ish deco for P/CP even more inexplicable for a release that was ostensibly to "give fans another opportunity to buy a hard-to-get figure", right?
    If we were running by logic I'd say Brainstorm might be the wise one to repack given his elusive exclusiveness during the original TR run but Hasbro sure have made some really odd calls of late.

    Since we know 100% about wave 1 and kinda know little about wave 2, I do hope Hasbro continues this line. If Hasbro does continue this line, we could possibly see the Headmasters from 88 and maybe have their Japanese repaints as well like Goshooter or Minerva.I am going to far on this lol.
