New pictures for Takara TAV Battle Grimlock, Supreme Bumblebee, Black Shadow, Stepper and others

Sky Shadow looks epic.

I'm also really surprised at how nice that Grimlock looks - great use of the FOC base.

I NEED that Grimlock in my life, it looks so much better than Warrior Grimlock!

It's also great to have another opportunity to buy the United Rumble and Frenzy, and at a reasonable price too (3780 Yen is the same as about £20). However, because some of those leaked store listings for upcoming Hasbro Legends mentioned Rumble I don't know if I should get these Takara versions or just wait to see if that Rumble actually happens (I say IF because we never did get the Generations Hardhead, Brawn or Gnaw).

That Grimlock looks amazing. Even if he probably doesn't have the light-up gimmick anymore.

To all that!

I hope the new Jazz that comes with Drift in the VS. pack is doing something like that Bee. He looks AWESOME!

interested in the grimlock and bb. will they make it to the american line?

It's true! I don't collect RID figures, but that Grimlock might start me off.

That, or Megatronus (obviously).

I must have that Grimlock, oh yes.

Nope, still the same swivel joint. The figure has it at an angle though, so when you turn the head, he'll start looking up as well.

Probably not. It is really rare for a line like this that Takara announces something before Hasbro does. Thats why I am certain the 3 femcons arent coming either, as well as the Big Optimus.

That bumblebee looks amazing.

Ok so guys, we need eachother here. The best place to preorder this will be amiami (by FAR!) however, their preorders sell out in a day. For the ones coming out in august (runamick and override), we didnt even know until they sold out. So we need to pool our efforts and keep a vigilant eye. I hope the first person that spots these here: http://slist.amiami.com/top/search/list ... pagemax=40 can tell us right away. The listings should be up between 15-20 days.

Believe it or not, I am now even more excited for that Grimlock than Takara's Devastator.

I clearly said Amiami. That is the place that sells the cheapest and sells out right away. The other places dont sell out as fast and cost way more. Especialy for anyone not living in the states.
