That's normal, the Takara releases are not meant for the North American market and only imported by a handful of specialty stores. The Hasbro versions were probably produced in much larger numbers for North America too.

Re: Alright, can anyone explain this to me ?
I don't have a problem with battle damaged figures. While I would never buy the repaints like battle damaged Jazz, exclusive releases like 20th Prime aren't a problem. I think it looks great and is on par in quality with the takara version. I don't need the takara version since I have this one, just have to replace the smokestacks. I won't have a problem buying the US Masterpiece Starscream, either.

I usually stay away from any repaint that doesn't involve some remolded piece like the head.
The Alternator line rarely disappointed in that respect.

I don't usually buy repaints either, but Final Battle Jazz was one that I actually bought. This is one of those few repaints where there is actually something different other than just a new paint job. FB Jazz actually has a different gun which got my attention. You see... I love figures with nice projectile weapons!

Re: Alright, can anyone explain this to me ?
