Title:
Inferno with Thrust Powerlinx Super Con
Description:
Powerlinx Thrust with Powerlinx Inferno (Super-Con, 2003)
Takara release date: December ??, 2003
Accessories: Launcher, missile
In Japan, a red Powerlinx Thrust was available as a "USA Edition” release, although Hasbro never released the toy in North America for various reasons. Inferno is similar to his western Powerlinx coloration, using light tan plastic instead of blue (but retaining the blue paint applications). This toy was available exclusively at the Toy’s Dream Project members store Toycard, in Hasbro packaging.
Curiously enough, Hasbro actually did produce a small run of red Powerlinx Thrust, but never released it on the North American market. Instead, the toy, in European packaging, popped up in Israel in mid-2004, later followed by sightings in Italy, Portugal, Spain, and the United Kingdom. The toy was even found in Australia, but only in stores that also occasionally sell toys imported from other countries, and again in European packaging. Furthermore, some of the European countries saw the toy being sold at instant discount prices, which suggests it was old Hasbro warehouse stock which had never seen a shelf release that was now being cleared out.
