I get with a new character (especially if it's a mold you don't have), it's relatively easy to pull the trigger.
However, when we're talking the swaying factor between two sets that are roughly $100 each,
on top of the fact that they're really different in appearance from one another...
It's not like I care, I just don't quite get it. And yes yes, to each their own.
Just interesting to me to have a legends-sized transforming wheel boss the decision on a full combiner purchase.
Pretty sure that would ignite buyer's remorse in me in about .2.

Anyway, one good thing for people is the differences should make a decision between the two versions easier no matter which you prefer.
Taking back Hasbro's Scattershot and canceling the PE head/chest set just freed up $58 to help me get UW Superion in less than two weeks.

Also: Roller? More like Bowler, amirite?

*EDIT*
Here's the EnergonPub article where Jin Saotome shared his discovery:

Yuki's Tweet that these pics came from is promoting the Micron's specifically, though. It's announcing that the Microns for the Adventure subline called "Prime of Micron" are to be released at the end of the month and that new 5mm pegs have been added to the molds. Roller isn't mentioned anywhere in the Tweet, he's just being used as a sample figure to show how the Microns' new pegs now allow them to attach to bigger figures' 5mm ports.

But would that be fair? The spreadsheet was mainly to show how these molds were being milked. Hasbro and Takara are not allowed to distribute in the same place (unless through special agreements with Hasbro Asia) so most people either have one or the other at retail. What could be interesting is to make one for Hasbro, one for Takara and one for Fun Pub and see which one milks the most.

Oh I'm just looking for a complete list somewhere of all the CW (& UW/FunPub) figures in one place, categorized/organized by the mold. It's not a political thing or vendetta, I simply want it for reference. It would be super handy for collectors.

... which is exactly what I've done. Hasbro is the clear winner in that regard, with 6 uses for the Harrier mold (2 Fireflight and 4 Slingsnot) alone! Dead End/Streetwise is another overly used one: 9 uses in all.

Obviously I'm optimistic, but wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't happen.
