The official Takara Tomy website has announced that the company will be holding a FES event this August in the Tokyo area, in order to show off toys - current and potentially new - a stage-event, open all day to all fans of transforming robots! More details can be found below, and we'll update when more news surfaces, but maybe we'll find out more about MPM figures - or even Masterpiece MP Dinobot..?

Exhibition of the latest toys and stage · Enjoyable by everyone
It is a varied event such as attraction! It is!

For details of the event contents, please do not hesitate to contact us!

■ Schedule: Saturday, August 5, 2017
■ Holding time: 10 am - 7 pm
■ Venue: LaLaport TOKYO-BAY North Building 1st Floor Plaza
(2-1-1 Hamacho, Funabashi-shi, Chiba)
※ Event schedule subject to change without notice. Please note.

Technically, it's not in Tokyo. It's at the Lalaport shopping centre in Funabashi city, Chiba (prefecture), Japan. There are a number of different train stations nearby, including JR Funabashi station, on the Sobu line (local is yellow, semi-express line is blue). Change there for a (very slow but free) bus or get a taxi.

There are other stations, but they need a bus, or a 10 minute walk (the station near the Ikea being one of them).

Please be aware that this probably isn't a huge event. It's probably a small stage in the shopping centre with a few guest voice actors, Takara staff, a small display of toys and maybe a small giveaway of a legends figure to kids, or something like that.

I edited the location, thanks.

You're welcome!
