I dont really get it, we are all talking about Grotusque and Arcee right? Takara hasnt released them, so there is no option of simply getting the Takara version.
And as Scrapmaker updated, there is currently 0 incentive to get Takara now that both companies are releasing the exact same toys for all lines (including MP). Canada sucks with exclusives, I hate it too, but those are Hasbro exclusives so Takara cant help and Canada is pretty good at mainline releases for the most part (better than the US, which skipped a bunch of waves in 2017 across all lines). So I dont see how ordering from Takara solves any of the problems being discussed.
What I do is this, I become friends with americans on message boards (TFW, Seibertron) and I exchange the service of finding them toys that the US skipped with their service of finding me exclusive toys that Canada skips.

But they have, time and time again. Takara still hasnt released their version of Beast Hunters Megatron
Or Generations Crosscut.
Or any of the liokaiser components
Or TR Sky Shadow
Or RID Bludgeon
and so on and so on.
