The posts by Goktimus Prime. How believable is that?

Well, as other posters point out the stuff about Hasbro being able to force people to take down pics of their toys is bollocks... The rest of it sounds a bit vauge "I know something really cool but won't tell futher" style stuff.

But but but the link doesnt work so they must have forced him to take it down or maybe it was Sector 7.
But seriously: no it all sounds like bollocks IMHO a figure so exclusive if you dont own one you cant even cast your eyes on a picture of it or do a review of it c'mon

That'd be the same Tai PVC that Rik "I like this toy! It is excellent!" Ruff has had pictures on his site of for, what, six plus years?

Well who can blame them? I think Japanese fans should be outlawed full stop.

Tangent: what's the attraction of "clear" figurines, anyway?

Well, it makes sense for Starscream, but the others are a bit odd...

One-upmanship, I think.

The same as most premium recolours - they're rare. If anyone is genuinely reminded of Hot Rod catching the Matrix in TF:TM by a clear version of his toy, I'd be surprised.

It doesn't make any sense for Starscream, either, as even his ghost incarnation had colour.

It's like that Invisible Woman figure they made for the Fantastic Four line. I hate that one. I'd like one with actual colour in it, please!

Gee, that's great Half Shell. Nice to know small minded bigotry and racism has a place on these boards.

Well, there's plenty of space for them left by the shuning of irony and intelligence undertaken by many members, yourself included.

Yeah, because the fact I was willfully ignoring the content of the post in order to misinterpret the title means I can't have been joking.

It's not like my screen name is derived from a Japanese line or anything.

What would [ sarcasm ] [/ sarcasm ] tags look like? Toying with the idea...

I'm sure the Jap. fans don't like you very much either.
