TakaraTomy Transformers Legends: Black Convoy & Megatrons From TFyuki

Scourge riding Skye-Byte into battle, now that's a deleted scene from AOE I'd like to see.

I dont see the point of black convoy because the TFCC version already exists. Anybody who wanted Scourge from that mold (including people from Japan) already have it. Calling a figure "exclusive" in the age of online sales is a joke. They need to let it go already. Just call it a 2nd run with minor paint app changes.

This is the best thing I've seen all day!

Um....I don't have it...

That Armada Megatron is irresistible!
But Scourge, no.

X... do you just hate for the sake of hating? How could a different version of this figure being released to a different group of people POSSIBLY upset you?

Rated X wrote:I dont see the point of black convoy because the TFCC version already exists.

By that reasoning, why does Takara release ANY Transformers whatsoever? Everyone in the world should just buy the Hasbro ones off the internet?

Rated X wrote:Anybody who wanted Scourge from that mold (including people from Japan) already have it.

So EVERY SINGLE PERSON who wanted a Black Convoy/Scourge bought one when TFCC released theirs? Yeah. I'm sure.

Rated X wrote:Calling a figure "exclusive" in the age of online sales is a joke.

Exclusive means limited production numbers. Not that it's unattainable.

Rated X wrote:They need to let it go already. Just call it a 2nd run with minor paint app changes.

It's not a second run. Takara didn't make the first one. TFCC did. Completely different entities.

You don't always get under my skin X, I usually just chuckle at your absurdity. But Jesus man, get a grip.

X deliver again!

In the age of online sales, there is no “different group of people”. When you release a figure, you release it to the world. Every online retailer and their mother has them for sale. (Hence Takara Unite Defensor gift set)

In another thread, I stated I believe Hasbro versions only exist to justify Takara’s continued pricey existence for an imaginary market. They all come from the same mold that isn’t even located in Japan. 25 cents worth of extra paint apps and the price doubles. A unified worldwide release would be the ethical solution, but it would not be a profitable one. All this “exclusive” hype is an attempt to make people sell their TFCC Scourge and get the same thing with a bit more light piping and no G2 faction logo. Serious black Prime collectors pay big bucks to get them in every Prime mold. Anybody in Japan who wanted this mold in black already has the TFCC version. Takara is getting greedy here. The reissue should be $29.99 like any other Takara deluxe figure.

shajaki wrote: So EVERY SINGLE PERSON who wanted a Black Convoy/Scourge bought one when TFCC released theirs? Yeah. I'm sure.

There’s still some on e-bay so I imagine the die hards all got theirs. The TFCC version was the real exclusive. This is a slightly modified reissue being dubbed an “exclusive” for pure profit. Im not saying every TF collector has this mold in black, I’m just saying the hardcore black Prime collectors already do.

shajaki wrote: Exclusive means limited production numbers. Not that it's unattainable.

Whats so limited about a reissue minus a few paint apps ? Remember the Asia Exclusive Hot/Rod/Galvatron/Cyclonus repaint set ? Hasbro removed Galvy and slapped rub signs on the other two and shipped em straight to US retail. How exclusive was that ?

shajaki wrote:You don't always get under my skin X, I usually just chuckle at your absurdity. But Jesus man, get a grip.

I think Takara needs to get a grip. The brick and mortar days of exclusives are over. Gone are the Botcon seeker days when snobby collectors got offended when their “exclusive” saw a mass release. Internet sales destroyed the concept of “exclusives” and honestly I’m glad that happened.

EDIT by Va'al - There will be no personal insults, thank you.


Have you never heard of a little thing called shipping fees? Or how about import duty? Not all of us can just buy everything from another country whenever we feel like it.

This is tripe. Japan has an enormous collector's market, and the toy market over there is highly, highly competitive. If Takara DIDN'T make their figures more "collector friendly" they wouldn't be able to compete. Hasbro, meanwhile, sells most of its wares in a very different market that on the whole values quantity over quality. Paint apps actually add a lot of expense to the production of a toy, as metal paint masks have to be cut in order to apply the paint (and that's not even beginning to mention worker's salaries).

They all come from the same mold that isn’t even located in Japan. 25 cents worth of extra paint apps and the price doubles.

See above. Extra paint apps are not cheap.

A unified worldwide release would be the ethical solution, but it would not be a profitable one.

What is "logistics"? What is "licensing"? What is "different markets/safety standards"? And before you hit me with that "the market in Japan is exactly the same as the US!" bullsh*t again, if that's the case then why don't we see things like Soul of Chogokin or Figma coming from US manufacturers?

All this “exclusive” hype is an attempt to make people sell their TFCC Scourge and get the same thing with a bit more light piping and no G2 faction logo.

Japan doesn't have the TFCC. This is the first release of that mold in Scourge colours in Japan. Importing into Japan is expensive so naturally a domestic release- even an exclusive one- is preferable to Japanese fans.

The hardcore collectors outside of Japan.

That's not the case at all- the exclusivity just shifted from physical stores to online stores.

X gonna X I suppose.

Okay guys, I know I'm just as guilty but if Rated X is getting under your skin, step back and let a cooler head take over.

Yeah, I LOVE exclusives that I can't buy locally. I LOVE paying 10-30-50$ of shipping fees for a single figure. I LOVE paying an extra 25-35$ custom fees for EXCLUSIVE figures.

Target just gave up Canada. They had really neat exclusives that were reasonably priced. Not anymore. Now I have to buy them from scalpers. Sure, I can still buy them. But X, lemme tell you that it suck a lot to pay double, triple, or quadruple the price for a figure that would have been available locally.

So, yeah. Exclusivities still exist hardcore. And the price suck.

The only thing I'll reply to is this:

Takara isn't expensive by virtue of being Takara; it's the costs associated with bringing stock into the states en masse. You really don't understand how importing a figure jacks up the cost.

Takara deluxes aren't $29.99 in Japan - they're close to $10-$15. I imagine TFCC Scourge was expensive for folks in Japan to import, so why hate on their chance to own this? Outside of the fact that some people in the States (like me) might prefer the metallic highlights over the matte teal.

Wow! This is like 3 straight days of thread hijacking.Some 'bot here abouts must be overcharged with Energon-GB!

In bold! So X wants a multinational conglomerate to ethically sell items/products at a loss to their profit margin?

Too much Energon G-B!

A gift that never stops giving. You call out TT and Hasbro for their "unethical" practices. Fine. What about the 3rd party makers for their overpriced no royalties paid to Hasbro/TT homaged products? Is that a different animal? Different standards for two profit driven capitalists?

3rd party makers don't release their homages out of the kindness of their hearts? AND, all of their stuff also made in China. Why the price mark up? Okay, Hasbro/TT can do bulk orders. That's the difference but really. ETHICS?

Capitalism:

: an economic system characterized by private or corporate ownership of capital goods, by investments that are determined by private decision, and by prices, production, and the distribution of goods that are determined mainly by competition in a free market

Examples of CAPITALISM

Capitalism is at once far too rational, trusting in nothing that it cannot weigh and measure, and far too little as well, accumulating wealth as an end in itself. —Terry Eagleton, Harper's, March 2005
The United States has assumed a global burden—not just fighting terrorism and rogue states, but spreading the benefits of capitalism and democracy … —Brian Urquhart, New York Review Of Books, 9 Oct. 2003
The city was then the great maw of American capitalism. —Christopher Hitchens, Atlantic, August 2002
I am not the first to point out that capitalism, having defeated Communism, now seems to be about to do the same to democracy. The market is doing splendidly, yet we are not, somehow. —Ian Frazier, On The Rez, 2000
Even Cuba's famed health-care system has been unable to resist the siren song of capitalism. The Frank Pais Hospital … now offers “for pay” surgery to foreigners. —Ann Louise Bardach, Vanity Fair, March 1995

Okay I've had enough of this crap.

You either discuss Takara Tomy Legends figures or you take whatever topic you want to discuss to its own specific thread.

Getting real sick and tired of some of the shit from a couple of you that should know better.

Takara's Armada Megatron looks so good that I might feel tempted to go for it. But then again, it's not a figure I really want that much anyway, so I'm torn.

Takara's Armada Megatron is tempting, capturing the look of the character a little better with some rearranged paint apps, but why did they skimp on the orange highlights on his antlers? We can't even swap them with the Hasbro version, as those are completely orange on the final product. There's no way to achieve a "perfect" version without doing some after market paint modifications. Yeesh.

I was wondering that too. I really like Takara's Armadatron, and he'd be puuurfect with a little orange on the antlers. It's a shame really

I can live without the orange on his horns since the gray was always the more important color of the two.

Armada Megs is not a Kung-Fu master anyway. He don't really need ultra dynamic posig. Plus, he work perfectly well on a Classic shelf. As an Ultra, he's tall and beefy, but not too tall like a leader. Making him scale perfectly well with CHUG deluxes and the occasional voyager.

Yeah, but scale is not much of an issue with me, and I am more interested in the functionality than the size. I AM NOT EVEN PLANNING TO GET LEADER ARMADA MEGATRON ANYWAYS SO THE POINT IS MUTE. XD

If I get either of the Megatrons from this mold, it will be G1 style Megs, even though I am a HUGE fan of Armada.

Alright. I actually posted a picture on seibertron.com once and it showed up like that too, I know it is just my computer, but when I used a different method of uploading, it worked fine, so he may be doing the same thing I did. Anyways BACK ON TOPIC!

shajaki wrote:*shrug*

Yeah, that's the problem of the original mold. Why the hell they didnt gave him any knees for a supposed "leader" figure is baffling.

Still, I do have a spare scrap Armada Megs. Maybe it's time to do some experiments...

I really, really like the CW Armada Megatron mold - more than enough to pick up the Tokyo Toy Show version.

Whoa, the Takara Armada Megatron looks pretty amazing. I would jump on it but wonga is low ATM and I already have my old Armada Megatron.

Now if only a 3P would make him an upgrade kit that gave him forward hip movement, knees and (dare I say it) ankles...

And speaking of old news, I did want to write something about the exclusivity of these legends figures or at least what I make of it:

I wish Amiami or HLJ had that Unite Warriors Guardian set but sadly they don't and that makes the set far more expensive than I was expecting. So while the figure my not be exclusive, the lower price on Takaratomymall is exclusive and to me it's pretty much the same. It's like saying SDCC toys are not exclusive to SDCC because they are also selling on e-bay at a premium. So looking at this personal definition of exclusivity, this new Legends Nemesis Prime is indeed exclusive at that particular price.

FYI, I just split off a lot of posts.

Off-topic posts seem to have become a major issue in the last few days, I have better things to do than remind people to stay on topic, only for people to continue to be off-topic. So rather than going through individually and splitting off posts, I chose a point, and split from there. Some on-topic posts were caught, I apologise for that.

Stay on topic please.

Goddammit, that's one hell of an arson overkill!

Anyway, I'll try that again in a Tl;Dr version.

Takara Armada Megatron. Y U R ultra expensive exclusive?
No matter, gonna grab Hasbro one on clearance.

G1 Megs. Superior Hasbro is superior. Especially with Repros.

Takara Ultra Magnus. Y U come out so late?

Leader St6arscream. Will Takara release it? If yes, mass retail or something something exclusive?

And finally, any speculations for another new Leader mold?

That's about it.

-Kanrabat- wrote:And finally, any speculations for another new Leader mold?

I wanna see a repaint/remold of Leader Megs as Shockwave maybe. Idk though.

By Takara of course because this thread is about Takara, and I'll get admins biting my head off if I get off topic.

Ouch.

Shockwave NEED to be a triple changer. The tank, Megatron got it coverd. No, I want Bot (of course) Lazer space-gun (If they have to put an orange tip on that, lolwut) and mostly, a Kick-ass spaceship.

Kinda like FOC Shockwave, really. That one was a great toy. But oh, so tiny!
