>>6662902The hasbro toys are intended for children, we collectors who CAN access imports only make a small percentage, the problem lies in distribution, assortment ranges and price.
In my Country (Australia, yes I'm about to go to bed), most stores are still clogged from the broadside wave and only gotten a small spatter of wave 5 voyagers, and apart from new waves figures don't move until sales time and even then some figures are more sought after than others (twinferno quake and getaway are the main shelfwarmers, everything else flies especially hotrods).
And Australia being as shit as it is means some areas get some figures and some don't forcing us to travel far or buy online, meanwhile those buying for kids are happy buying anything as evident when last sales time a shelf with 10 twinfernos from initial release went down to 2, and that 2 is still there even now.
If hasbro is taking it all out on takara then here is a damn good idea, buy fucking takara outright and steer them in the right direction, but if you throttle takara too much they'll fall behind in their home market
>>6662914If I were you I'd wait until sites like hlj and the like list them as well as the takara tomy webshop, if lucky we'll get grey scales images implying something different.
Don't give up hope until the last moment, and even then, we can save our cash for better things.
Takara will rise again, and we'll be there to suck up all that glorious paint and tampo prints
