Takara Animated Packaging QR codes?

OK, this is not really a critical question or anything important, just a matter of simple curiosity.
I noticed one of those weird squares called a "QR code" at the back of the Blackout figure I got in the mail today. Over it, a mention in Japanese says: "Blackout's secret is there!". So I go fetch a mobile phone QR code reader application for my phone, and read the code. I get sent automatically to a website that appears to actually belong to Takara Tomy, but nothing in particular stands out as relating to Blackout. Has anyone figured this out? Am I doing it wrong?

So THAT'S what that little thing is on the back of Animated Ratchet's box is. I had wondered. What's the URL for the Blackout site?

Sorry for the late reply, I was away for a bit. The site url is this page, but it doesn't actually lead to anything related to Blackout. It seems to be merely a landing page for Takara Tomy affiliates/websites. I'm confused. That, or the QR Code reader application I got is not decrypting the data properly.
