Takara Tomy Transformers Masterpiece MP-23 Exhaust: Cancellation Rumours Addressed!!

Dear Shoppers,
We have been just inform by our Supplier on the latest Update on Transformers Masterpiece MP-23 Exhaust News as follow:

We regretfully must announce that all Pre-order for the Takara MP-23 Exhaust have been cancelled. There has been an ongoing legal problem with this figure due to trademarked Marlboro roof/hood design that is not approved for sale in the USA. Takara modified the original design and went into production using a modified paint deco. It appears the redesigned paint deco did not go far enough to fix the problem, and Phillip Morris USA will still not allow this item for sale in the USA. We have been in contact with the law firm representing Phillip Morris and they told us that the changes were not substantial enough to eliminate potential consumer confusion between the Marlboro trademarked design and the current paint deco on the MP-23 Exhaust.

We apologize for the problem on this item, but we must abide by the requests made by Phillip Morris. We look forward to less complicated future Takara Transformer releases.

To make it easier for customers who Preorder Takara Tomy TF MP-23 Exhaust, simply inform our company to use this deposit to offset during your next (any) PO collection, such as MP-24 Star Saber, using the MP-23 Exhaust’s deposit.  MP-24 Star-Saber is expected to arrive End March 2015. Likewise, you may proceed to our store location at 18 Cross Street China Square Central Unit #02-19 (Under Toyz Crazi) to collect your refund. Thanks
