TakaraTomy Website Update - Henkei Skywarp & Thundercracker

Feel free to discuss anything about any of the thousands of Transformer toys here. Anything from Generation 1 all the way to the soon to be released, the never to be released or the hope to be released is fair game! Want to show off your stuff? Please post your's and see others in the Transformers Collections Forum.

I am content with classics Skywarp, so I will not be persuing Henkei Skywarp. If that answers anyone's question. Other than Henkei Starscream, which I have a classics version of, I will only be getting one of each character. I am hopeful for a thrust or a dirge. Specifically Dirge as he is my favourite conie.

I think I will get acid storm, if that's his name. I love Seekers.... Just a bit of a nut.

Sonokong is licenced byt Takara to redistribute there toys.

Brave Transformers, RID, BWII, and BWNeo have been done for Korea due to the fact that they were shown "late" over in Korea.

I owned several reissues from the Brave Series, and they were a million time better than the crappy KO's floating around. YEah there are some QC issues, but still for a cheaper price, you can find some hard to find RID, BWII, and BWneo toys.

Brave, well there staring to get a little scarce, and please don't have any real Takra boxes for Brave, you can make some serious dough.

Rumor mill is putting TC at a limited run of 2000 pieces. Can anyone confirm or deny this?

This would go along with the exclusive nature of the figure, but would blow donkey *blank* on the chance at getting even one.

I'm hearing two rumours. One that it will be limited to 2,000 pieces, they will be producing however many they get preorders for. Your guess is as good as mine. But worth finding someone to get the preorder in for you if you're interested.

No proof, but I’m betting it’ll be unlimited. They ship in September and that’d be plenty of time to make however many are ordered.

Somehow I’d be seeing July if it was limited.

There's gotta be some catch to that. I understand that its a Japan only thing, but I can't see these being super produced figures.

Remember, TT avoided doing alot of SW TC figs when the Robotmasters versions tanked big. Those guys aren't as in demand there as they are here.

eh i got deep enough translated into the site to start and account, however, but their end doesn't accept english letters.. don't look like i'll be getting one directly from the site at this point.
if anyone can order, i'll buy thiers if they get two. that's a promise.

I just had a guy walk me all the way through ordering Skywarp. Tomorrow, he's gonna walk me through ordering Thundercracker. That being said...

If you got enough translated to sign up for an account, and the only problem you're having is that the site won't accept English letters, then... Just Google translate what you're trying to type in to the box then copy & paste the translation into the box on the site.

No, these sites will not ship outside Japan. You'll need a contact in Japan to have them shipped to who will then have to ship them to you.

Both figures are 3150 Yen plus 500 yen for shipping to your Japanese contact.

Tekka... I got my invoice right away. You haven't received yours yett?

What will hurt your wallet is if you don't get in on them now. Once these get into the hands of online stores, expect Green Ehobby Ratchet prices to soar.
