No, TTMall is the only Japanese seller allowed to sell this toy in japan and its already sold out (but that doesnt matter, they only sold to Japan adresses anyway and something tells me you live in NYC).

Whenever TTmall has an exclusive in japan, Hasbro Asia makes a killing by distributing their own release internationally since it becomes the only distributor. So you will find the set at BBTS and Robot Kingdom for $170-$180 in a few weeks.
Also be weary of hope in this hobby. Hope is just undiscovered disappointment.

The only toy of Minerva that exist is the G1 Original.
This officially licensed partsforming toy also exists:
There is also an Animated Minerva that was a Botcon exclusive
And not as expensive as I would have guessed on e-bay

Thry are much more related to the G1 toys. did a comparison in the past to their appearance in the comics and its not like the toys have a direct reference to what we see in IDW. Any similarity is simply because both IDW and Titans Return both take cues from the G1 toys. I would not call them IDW accurate. The only IDW accurate toy in TR is Sentinel Prime

It will be $170-$180. All TTmall exclusives sold at BBTS were priced at the same Yen Amount but changing the Yen sign for a $ sign. Like any of the Exclusive Unite Warriors Box Sets for instance.
