They arent sold individually. They can only be aquired (like the Hasbro version) with the figures they are teamed up with:

I put TF Source listings because some are already sold out from japanese retailers:

I don't care for the Rook mold or the silly mini-cons but I thought it looked like some kinda earth-sports-mad TF in the thumbnail image, mistaking the orange minicon for a basketball. Like how Jazz and Blaster love earth-music as part of their personalities.

I see him rollin...

Isn't this more Adventure news than UW news since it's about the Microns' new pegs?

this is showing off the Unite Warriors Roller which is due out any day now, so it more goes in this thread

The focus was on Wandering Roller, but people are getting hung up on the Minicons.

Yuki's Tweet that these pics came from is promoting the Micron's specifically, though. It's announcing that the Microns for the Adventure subline called "Prime of Micron" are to be released at the end of the month and that new 5mm pegs have been added to the molds. Roller isn't mentioned anywhere in the Tweet, he's just being used as a sample figure to show how the Microns' new pegs now allow them to attach to bigger figures' 5mm ports.

Whatever his intent, it's also a better look at the Roller figure than we've gotten, as far as I know, so it works for both.

How's this http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/ ... ity/35204/

Newsed in both places witha apropriate info in each.

[MGrotusque]

Wandering Roller (awesome name) needs a new head sculpt to be even more awesomer.

But then Japan wouldn't get the Rook head domestically if Roller got a new head.

Got my notice today from BBTS that Grand Galvatron will be processing within the next 10 days...

I recall when UW-03 was released, some folks preferred the white Hasbro CW Streetwise to the gray Takara UW version.

If anyone has the Unite Warriors Streetwise in mint condition and they don't want it, I'd be willing to buy it. I don't want the whole Guardian set, just the Takara UW Streetwise.

[Rainmaker]

I don't care about the other parts. (Except maybe Ghost Starscream)

I just want that (squid) curse Armada Thrust

Has anyone added to this spreadsheet to include the UW series figures as well?

But would that be fair? The spreadsheet was mainly to show how these molds were being milked. Hasbro and Takara are not allowed to distribute in the same place (unless through special agreements with Hasbro Asia) so most people either have one or the other at retail. What could be interesting is to make one for Hasbro, one for Takara and one for Fun Pub and see which one milks the most.

Oh I'm just looking for a complete list somewhere of all the CW (& UW/FunPub) figures in one place, categorized/organized by the mold. It's not a political thing or vendetta, I simply want it for reference. It would be super handy for collectors.

... which is exactly what I've done. Hasbro is the clear winner in that regard, with 6 uses for the Harrier mold (2 Fireflight and 4 Slingsnot) alone! Dead End/Streetwise is another overly used one: 9 uses in all.

And that does not include Fun Pub right? I would have thought the Dead End mold to be the biggest offender.

Oh cool, you've got a full chart listing CW, UW, and FP together? Can you provide a link to it? Thanks!

Thanks to Robot Kingdom we have our first look at the Grand Galvatron collectors coin! The outside casing is styled after Grand Galvatron's chest plate, with the inside housing the coin in a hexagonal styled spark casing. Check out the images mirrored below, and let us know what you think in the comments section below. And as always stay tuned to Seibertron.com for all your latest Transformers News and Galleries!

Just curious, what's the point of collector's coins?

Psychological reward of adding more bang for your buck? Hence the collectability.

[Kurona]

They look cool, basically.
