Neither. He's a BBTS online exclusive.

I was kind of wondering this myself back when this first came up. I think that it got sorted out around the time the pre-orders went up. While I had to figure this had to be some sort of exclusive – since, aside from the Masterpiece Starscream-style package, this is pretty much a G1CS-like release – I was a bit let down by the fact Big Bad got this instead of TRU. I get out of making the trip to the TRU on Power Rd and worrying if they actually have it, but I'd have rather made the trip and come home with it in hand instead of having to watch for the big brown van.

I'm wondering if there is a limit on the POL..I have 5 items in there right now and it's only gonna cost me 15 bucks to ship it all:p After august when all of the new predators stuff plus the seacons ship..Man that is gonna be one big box of sexy!
The chrome sword sold it to me..I only saw vauge pics of the last release of these but I loved the color scheme and the names the bots have..

As far as I'm aware there's no limit. I've shipped at least 15 items at once. I certainly don't recall ever hearing about one.

The only unanswered question is whether Snap Trap has a painted head...

The only one I know of is six months from the date of purchase of the first item. I've shipped 30+ items once.

In both the Japanese and US Marvel continuities, Overbite is the gun. Nautilator is either right leg (US) or right arm (Japan, King Poseidon), switching with Skalor. That's the only difference in default configuration between the two markets.

It may end up saying "Product and colors may vary." somewhere where on the package. Think it normally does, anyway.
Is there really that much difference between the original release and the reissue though?

Not at all, and I didn't think of the 'actual product may vary' bit. It doesn't really bother me one way or another, I just saw the photo and thought that for an exclusive, they c/should have made the picture match the actual item. I think it stuck in my head becuase these are exclusives. Like, if it was just another ROTF or HFTD or Generations or whatever toy, in general store release I doubt I'd even have noticed. I was just mentioning is all, it just kind of struck me as being odd. Sorry if I was/am 'that picky guy,' cause I really didn't mean to appear that way.

Is there going to be a Japanese (encore) release of this set?

No big. Just thought I'd share the thoughts that occurred to me at the time.

From the first item or the last? If the first, I know I've exceeded that timeframe before and nobody has ever said anything.
Edit: You're right, BBTS site says that they will hold for 180 days...I'm exceeding that right now
