Neat, thanks for providing these!
Must say I prefer the takara versions on all of them, but Windblade is a bad toy either way

Few stuff in the UK to trade/sell. Measly sales thread.

Kapow has some pretty good deals lately on takara generations---more or less around 6 pounds over local hasbro retail.Denyer wrote:Takara -- but not enough to be fussed about paying extra to import.
Though, in bulk, buying straight from HLJ it comes out cheaper. Even with import tax.

Hasbro win the packaging wars, Takara's T&A art makes you realise what a bullet we dodged with how IDW handled the characters in the last year.

I'm not too fussed by most of them in the first place, but I was very excited by Arcee, and Takara nailed the G1 look with their deco, which is what was important to me, and so I bought that version.
I've also preorded Takara Legends Blackarachnia, because I like spiders.
However, despite not caring about the others, I must say from those comparison shots, Takara looks to win every time.
