it appears we should expect a repaint of the a leader class optimus figure, the legendary one

7-Eleven Japan has something to say on 3/8. Thanks to fellow Seibertronian TrypticonCarne in the Energon Pub forums we've been alerted to a message on their 7Net Twitter page that announces, well, an announcement coming next week to the 7Net website. And if that isn't intriguing enough it's accompanied by a silhouette of what's likely the Takara Tomy Leader class-sized Legendary Optimus Prime for the Bumblebee Movie. Could we be getting another Ultra Magnus-esque 7-Eleven repaint like the MP-711 Convoy from last year? We'll know in a week.

Don't count on it. It will be something random like this:

well anyone want a trailer for BB optimus, you have an option

Not bad, but I wonder if the G1 trailer could also work

Otherwise...

Dunno g2 wont fit and I don't have a g2 trailer

Huh seems if you get that kreemzeek server error the original posting still goes through good to know for next time

FYI, you may be better off posting those in the Siege thread since that's the line this Prime figure is from.

If you are talking to me. You are mistaken that is the Bumblebee movie Optimus. Not siege

Right right, I meant studio Series. But I just noticed you did indeed post them there too. Cheers.

Found this today. Now I know what 7-11 is doing

(Don't know why the robot mode pic didn't automatically apply with my previous post)

Robot mode looks quite elegant, better than the Legendary version IMO.

As we previously stated, 7-Eleven Japan revealed a new toy today, on 3/8. It turns out it's a redeco of Legendary Bumblebee Movie Optimus Prime in Nemesis Prime colours, with all that lovely teal. It can be preordered now on the 7-Eleven site for 7500 yen plus tax. That is the only place to get it at the moment, so it's only available to Japanese residents. It may show up at site sponsors though (for a premium). The toy will be released September 13th, 2019, in 7-Eleven stores in Japan. You can check out the images below. Enjoy, and let us know what you think!

Finally, an official version of the knockoff that has literally been EVERYWHERE on eBay. I swear I could look up a potato on eBay on a computer that I've never used before, and this would still show up in the recommended results.

KO Trash-talk aside, this looks pretty cool.

The KO is more expensive though, right? At least more expensive than the original legendary prime.

So 7-11 huh? Hasbro should work with Circle K (insert local gas station/C-store here) to bring exclusives to the states. Fill your tank, get some smokes, maybe a scratch off ticket and an $80 toy.

This is the redeco I was hoping for to justify the figure. Hoping it's not too hard/pricey to get here.

Did you guys get these toys at gas sations in the 80s?

Not sure if this is realitivly new or not but spotted this in a Walmart in Colonial Heights, VA. It’s the Energon Igniter Shatter!

I don't remember seeing them at gas stations, but that doesn't mean much.

Funny story actually. One of my clients has a huge ESSO sign inside there building and I asked about it and apparently the building was an ESSO station originally (a company I've never heard of). On my way to the hotel in Laval, QC I saw an ESSO station. Crazy right?!

EDIT: ESSO is a trading name for ExxonMobil and its related companies.

insert the more you know meme here

ESSO stations are popular in Germany as well! More so, if you where stationed overseas, you used the ESSO stations because of the fuel stamps we had to purchase. That was a long time ago.

Slurpees, Transformers and even a history lesson - who woulda thunk it?

The US had Essos before they rebranded the company in 1972. The rest of the world never caught up with the rebranding though.

And Esso even appeared in the Japanese G1 cartoon:

That paint job is stunning!

As much as I would like to get this, I've got the original Weijiang OSKO Nemesis Prime. Being in Japan, the official version might be cheaper, but outside, I'm not so sure.

I reckon the official version is going to be over 100 dollars outside Japan, whereas the original Weijiang version is around 130 dollars or so (possibly including postage) here: - http://sirtoys.com/toys.php?c=23&p=2750 ... Black.html .

Also, there's the newly released Black Mamba version (although the lorry mode is different) : - http://sirtoys.com/toys.php?c=23&p=4651 ... ck_BM.html . Thus version is about the same price as the official TT version. Both of the KO versions don't really have much teal, though.

I suppose it's great that there are at least three great options for a large, film-style Nemmy-P.
