We reported earlier today about Hasbro Asia terminating plans to distribute Masterpiece Exhaust in its territories. Subsequently we've received word via BigBadToyStore adding another nail to the figure's coffin. In short, the law firm representing Phillip Morris is not satisfied that the deco modifications adequately distinguish the toy from the signature Marlboro design and will continue to block sales of it in the United States and presumably elsewhere. We've yet to hear from other stores, but the outcome is likely to be the same. Keep reading for a copy of the e-mail.

While I may have hit seeker fatigue from the Classics model, with this mold I am completely okay with numerous reuses. Continue to the review!
If you want a Powerglide that doesn't tower over the majority of your other Classics-style Autobots, looks like the original toy and cartoon design, and got released in the correct colors on the first try, you're in luck! And all you had to do was wait seven years.
