Amazon.JP is a good place to start:

Or some distributor in Australia will pick up the slack.

Thanks to fellow Seibertronian Thundertron, we now know that a review for the Pit of Judgment set was put on Youtube. The review is from Jon's Toy Reviews Channel. Here is the product description followed by the review.

The QUINTESSON PIT OF JUDGEMENT 5-Pack includes three accessories and five figures – QUINTESSON JUDGE, PROSECUTOR, BAILIFF, SHARKTICON, and KRANIX – from the classic 1986 film, Transformers: The Movie. The QUINTESSON JUDGE figure can convert into cosmic cage mode in 14 steps and features a rotating head to reveal his 5 faces. The SHARKTICON figure can convert in 12 steps and the QUINTESSON BAILIFF figure can convert in 14 steps. Both the QUINTESSON PROSECUTOR and KRANIX figures do not convert, but PROSECUTOR features an articulating neck and KRANIX fits inside both SHARKTICON's mouth and QUINTESSONS JUDGE's alt mode cage. They also come with a laser pistol, mace, and spear accessories.

I’ll be really upset if I miss out on this set, hopefully they won’t end up being a horrible fiasco to get like the limited edition Gigawatt, Leadfoot, and GI Joe: Classified Series Cobra Island exclusives ended up being.

Dude didn't even bother transforming the Quint all the way. He's like. "Yeah, it opens up, but... um... whatever."

With the way the Bailiff and Alicon transform, they really should have worked in a way to hide those fists.

The quints are a character you could have made without a transforming gimmick and got away with it. I can't image too many people are going to have it in it's weird cage mode. I think if it was designed to have a fast spinning mode where maybe you just press on the top, that would have been better.

I would like to have seen the prosecutor in a larger size with more moving parts too. I get they are part of the transformers line, but they were characters that didn't actually transform, so I think making them more posable would have been a better way to go.

I am looking forward to this set though. I would like to see a third variation on the quint just so I can have the three judges all looking just slightly different.

Call me crazy, but I think I prefer the head sculpts on these Quints over the outrageously overpriced X-Transbots version...

I would have passed on the quints if it wasn't for the cage/base building mode. Because of it (and Target's ridiculous sale back in Feb.) I'm getting 3 regular and will be getting the pit of judgement. If it don't transform, then I'm not interested.

Edit, I should add the only reason I'm getting 3 of the regulars is because of the target sale I'm getting them at $15 each. I may not open 2 of them if they are just meh and resell them later on.

Anyone else's Bailiff missing the tail thing? Almost hoping it's some universal screwup since Hasbro Pulse is super slow to reply and unlikely to just kindly mail a replacement part, but I'm sure it's just mine

I wonder if we will hear about Studio Series '86 this Friday?

Probably, along with whatever was meant to be the NYCC reveals. (ER Thrust and Runabout maybe...??)

News Credits: 42 · Tue Oct 13, 2020 12:11 pm

The Facebook invite does specifically indicate Studio Series, so SS86 should be a sure bet.

Greetings Seibertronians! Fellow Seibertron user, Aronjlove has shared with us that Hasbro are planning a new Transformers Fans First Friday through their Facebook account. The event will begin streaming 11 a.m. ET this Friday (October 16th).

Given that the description of the event talks about Studio Series, it's highly likely we'll get the official reveals of Studio Series 86 in the same manner as the reveals for Kingdom . This could also elaborate on the Devastator boxset that is already on sale in some countries.

As it also briefly mentions over lines we could also get official reveals of other Generations toys we already know about like Earthrise Thrust.

So remember to tune in this Friday!

What do you think we'll see? Will you be watching? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

I'm sure we'll hear about SS86, but I'm hoping we get something for Bayverse Studio Series. I'd like to see the rumored ROTF Bee, Dino, and Jolt!

News Credits: 462 · Tue Oct 13, 2020 1:18 pm

I bet we can expect the Devastator giftset to be announced.

I'm with this, these are the things I am praying we see and am most excited to hear about

News Credits: 11 · Tue Oct 13, 2020 1:26 pm

I'll be surprised if the official reveals of Earthrise Bluestreak, Thrust and Runabout don't get in there, we've known about them for a loooong time now, some people even have Bluestreak. Studio Series 86 will probably be the focus, with maybe a bit on the Devastator box set, but I'm also hoping for reveals of the other Studio Series figures we know of through leaks (Jolt, ROTF Sideswipe, Dino and Cybertronian Bumblebee).

Tue Oct 13, 2020 7:10 pm

I'm just desperate to see that 86 Leader Class Grimlock revealed. It feels like we've had everything leaked besides him, and THAT'S the big boi I've been waiting for since WFC started.
I'd also love some new bayformers reveals, especially a nice double pack skids and Mudflap (unpopular opinion, I know) to accompany my new studio series Devastator. Yeah they were kinda stupid characters, but boy I sure loved them as a 9 year old. And that nostalgia makes me giddy at the idea of a new pair of 'em.

Tue Oct 13, 2020 7:32 pm

I hope we get a studio series onslaught

To be fair, it's always the smaller size classes that get leaked first, we only got our first look at Leader Class Beast Wars Megatron at Hasbro Pulsecon after all
