Did the same and saved on both. Better deals on Amazon Japan even with customs added to the final cost to ship. Helps that the Yen has fallen 10% in the last year too.

Yup. Much better deals.

Love the G1 JPN packaging with styrofoam too. So miss that.

So true. Such a hit of nostalgia there to see the environmentally unfriendly styrofoam tray in there. It was like I was 8 at Christmas time all over again for a split second.

Being a fan of both Transformers and Power Rangers allowed that good feeling to persist all the way into the 2000s, since Bandai of America continued to use that styrofoam packaging for their Deluxe transforming Megazord toys as late as then.

What episode of which season?
"Fire in the Sky".

The episode that introduced Skyfire?

Got a timestamp? Because I have the impression that it's a "blink or you'll miss it" moment.

Can anyone confirm this as legit? Saw it on Instagram and don't have any other info on it to be honest. For all I know it could just be a fan mock-up. Would be sweet if it is real though, and a two-pack.

It apparently is real. Saw it on another forum as well.

Announcement day is May 8th so, will need to wait till then for full confirmation though.

With that said, not sure I want to may $65 bucks for them like with Prime though.

3P keep selling legends scale bots at those prices and no one bats an eye.

Compared to the G1 originals on eBay, the price seems fair for the update. And man, I WILL buy this set.
