I'm hoping Takara does a massive re-release of the Legends fembot trio. Mostly because I've only managed to snag the least iconic Windblade, and partly to shove it up scalpers worldwide.

They did....

Thanks, but the RK's based in the US, which is a little too far for the shipping to be worth it. I'm eying HLJ, since I'm a regular customer there. Sadly, they only get their stock in August, and that's only for pre-orders.

Hobbysearch still has a few, and I'll keep my eye on those while looking for a cheaper brick-and-mortar alternative.

Robot Kingdom is based in HK. Only Arcee is getting the second pressing coming August 2015.

Thanks, Fen! Didn't know that. I'll google for some customer reviews and if RK check out good, I'll consider buying from them.

I'll give you my own feedback as I had already purchased 2 items from them (RK).

1. Takara Breacher
2. Platinum Seekers

Feedback a little slow and they didn't inform me that my Seeker Squad shipped already. I had to email an inquiry first. Aside from that I got my stuff delivered in good packaging with no damage.

[Cyberpath]

Yeah. Sorry I didn't do a better search, I just knew that RK had pre-orders still and that the better options (HLJ/AmiAmi) are quite likely sold out.

As of writing this, LG10 Arcee is still available for pre-order on AmiAmi:

Oh, good. They sound decent--not crazy about the slow email response, though. Admittedly, I've stayed away from HK sellers since reading a really poor review of Angolz--something about charging a customer's credits card and not delivering the goods, and not even replying his emails.

Anyway, thanks again. If I can't find Arcee and Chromia at my local hobby stores, I'll give RK a try.

Chromia isn't up for a 2nd pressing though. RK still has her for $ 23.00 +

I appreciate the heads up! I guess I'll have to pick up Chromia up at RK if I have to--hopefully the local hobby stores still have one or two available. You da man, Fen!

I've ordered a lot from them recently. Shipping is a killer, often almost half the cost of what you're buying if not the same amount. Also there's an ESL issue with them, I asked twice to not have packaging peanuts and Styrofoam used in my packing, the request was ignored.

Anything to help a fellow collector

[Cyberpath]

LG13 will be out in Japan in two days! Kinda excited, heh, haven't had a new figure in a while.

And new pix from Yuki:

And from Takara a comic featuring LG13 Megatron & MP-10 Optimus Prime:

[fenrir72]

Legends Megs up for delivery!

[shajaki]

So are the Insecticons!
*edit* oops. This isn't the TAV thread

Translation:

Decades after the first TF installment

Megatron: I am the first Emperor of Destruction, Megatron!

Megatron: I have returned and powered up to a form like my appearance long ago!

Convoy: What are you up to now, Megatron!?

Megatron: Convoy! You returned to your original appearance using the power of the Reconfiguration Matrix!?

Megatron: Do you know of what I'll tell you? The world of Legends...

Megatron: The world where we Transformers exist as children's toys.

Megatron: I found the entrance to that world. With you all only in the fiction of that world, I can take as much energy as I want.

Convoy: ...Megatron, you've finally lost your mind...

Megatron: No! I'm being serious!

Megatron: I informed you about the secret entrance...

Megatron: Don't look at me like that!

Megatron: You'll be sorry, Convoy.

Megatron: The Zamojin made this entrance here...

Megatron: to access the world of Legends in a pinch!

Megatron: Hahaha, stupid Legends people, my name is...

Rattle: Oh! Megatron!

Rhinox: It's the real thing! I wanna take photos, dana!

Rhinox, Big Convoy: All Hail Megatron! All Hail Megatron!

Black Widow: Th... this isn't much, but take this energy.

Scylla: I, I also brought all I could...

...It's a hard invasion...

[Wolfman Jake]

Any more translations of the LG "mini-mangas" floating around out there, Sabr? Last I heard, there were none, and then suddenly this comes our way!

[SW's SilverHammer]

I don't need legends scourge. I don't need legends scourge. I don't need legends scourge.






I NEED IT

[Sabrblade]

The Takara Tomy Legends manga series still seems to be running along happily, with episode 22 just being posted on their website. The latest update brings Windblade in contact with a number of cast members, including Bighorn, Starscream, BB, Drillnuts, Tigatron, and Airazor. Check it out mirrored below!

Fan translation:

"Windblade Sequel"

My name is Windblade...

I'm alone in Akihabara after my memory was wiped in battle...

Windblade: And now I'm working in a little sister cafe.

Windblade: Welcome back, big brother!

Windblade: Hey, hey, big brother, I've got an extra-special lunch for you today--

Windblade: I just need 5 thousand yen for 1 set, please~?

Bighorn: O-o-o-oh, allow me, jai~

Windblade: 10 extra-special lunch orders already! (fufufufu)

Starscream: What a reliable young lady...

My name is Windblade.

I've found work, but I have nowhere to live...

Windblade: Which means I will live with you today rent-free, big brother!

Tigatron: Gozuーーー!?

Airazor: I have a thing with Ti-chan!! [Best guess at this sentence, sorry.]

Tigatron: Gozu~~~!!

Windblade: It's like big brother's stuffed and soft to the touch--

Airazor: Don't get too clingy with Ti-chan, kumadori woman!

Tigatron: Gozu~

[-Kanrabat-]

Maybe I have to be Japanese to find that Windblade 4komas funny. However, one thing I would LMAO at is the Tumblerettes reacions to it!

Keep the translations coming!

Thanks to our friend Matt Daniele, currently based in Japan and sending a constant series of updates, we have some more in-package images to add to the previous one for the recently released Takara Tomy Transformers Legends LG13 Megatron, counterpart to the Hasbro Generations Combiner Wars Leader class figure (check out the Seibertron.com gallery here for comparison!).

Just the box and not the contents? What a tease

[megatronus]

Looking forward to shipping my HLJ Private Warehouse!

I'm surprised Megatron hasn't sold out yet, actually.

[shajaki]

Almost 48 minutes have gone by, and TFyuki hadn't Tweeted a thing... but fear not! He finally uploaded some new pics to tease us with, this time of Transformers Legends Black Convoy & Armada/Micron Legend Megatron. What makes this special though is he has provided his followers with direct comparisons with their Hasbro counterparts, Collectors Club Scourge & Combiner Wars Leader Class Armada Megatron. Scroll down to see the shots, and stay tuned to Seibertron.com for all your Transformers News!
