Ugh, these will be expensive to get.

It's always annoying when these things are 'free' in Japan.

I consider $25 expensive, when the Japanese fans get to buy $25 worth of stuff and then get this for free.

Oh well. That's the way the cookie crumbles. Honestly can't complain too badly; us North American fans have it pretty good compared to some other parts of the world.

This seems late to the party... Considering how many variations of this sword we have already form Hasbro & Takara... Not to mention 3rd Party version...

At $25.00 I would simply go make myself one and print it via Sculpteo or another printer...

That is exactly the same sculpt for this special edition Terminos sword as the new one that comes with AD-31 Armor Knight Optimus Prime, correct? Well, at least there is a relatively easy way to get a non-orange official version of the sword without resorting to customizing it yourself.

I LOVE my AD-31 Op, but those bright orange weapons are gaudy as hell. Maybe it was done on purpose to sell those weapons. Sigh... and I'm one of those sucker who will have to hunt them down.

Seibertron.com sponsor Robotkingdom has posted new images of the Amazon Japan exclusive Camo Hound figure and AoE Blu-ray combo pack. The film is unedited and is the same as the version that can be obtained in 3D/BD/DVD/Digital Copy release here in the states, but the Hound figure is quite possibly the most film accurate figure release yet.

Sporting a new darker camo design, both in terms of paint apps and plastic color, this Hound will be highly coveted by collectors driven by accuracy, but with the set being a limited release of 3000 pieces and a Japan only release, chances are he's going to be rather difficult to obtain, as well as costly. The set's current pricing is $108.00 USD! You can see the Amazon.jp ordering page by clicking here.

If you do happen to get one, please share some images with us so we can all enjoy this rather rare exclusive. Speaking of sharing images, we've mirrored Robotkingdom's pictorial below:

I actually think the Dr. Wu sword looks better than this. Has that nice orange glow to it that makes the sword looks heated. But I probably will spend money to get that sword since it looks cool when you pose him to look like that scene "Today you stand with us or... you stand against me..."

However if they blow up to be 50$ for it, not gonna happen. You'd pretty much be paying for their transformers at that point.

All you need to do is give him a red deco and an ironhide head, and Kapow! IDW-esque Ironhide.

Hope Hasbro or the Club does that one day...

The Club isn't allowed to use on-screen movie designs since they're partially owned by Paramount. Toy-only designs like Skyhammer are alright, though.

Dont know about you guys, but I am really not fond of the deco we got with the standars hasbro release of Hound. The autobot 5 pack and this version are far too expensive for me so I chose the reprolabel alternative. I actually think it works really well as a cheap alternative. Here is what it looks like:

Don't be shy about bragging to us all if you find something! My AD-31 Prime should be arriving from TFSource this afternoon! I can't wait to get him a "proper" sword to go with this lovingly retooled and redecoed figure!

Not yet. Looks to be a Japanese store exclusive. Us Americans will likely have to resort to eBay.

Previous store exclusives of this kind have shown up on (and some are still available at) such places as BBTS and TFSource. We just have to wait and see and hope that these places get this sword as well.

When I think about it... "eh, 30$ seems fair. I mean... in Japan you spend 30$ to get it free right?" But then I remember the spend-30$-on-TF-merchandise and I realize I'm just spending 30$ on a mini sword...

Still not sure whether to get this or Dr Wu's sword for 20$. The Dr Wu version has the orange and silver blended, kind of giving off a heated look. But I kind of just like the plain silver look.

There's also this set for $20, if someone were looking for a more official looking sword (and shield!)

I don't know how well this one would work with that counterweight bulge and this sword is intended for those almost super deformed looking toys...

Not worth $30.00 in my opinion. Get this instead "Sword of Judgement" and cut the chain. All metal, more movie accurate and only $9.99!

10$? That beats the one Dr Wu made, and that one's just plastic, although hollow and sharp plastic...

shajaki wrote:preorders already sold out at BBTS anyways

I'm surprised they got any in the first place since they are only 1,000 in the world. They must have gotten a very tiny shipment of them to sell out so soon. Unless scalpers ordered like a 100...

Thanks to Autobase Aichi via facebook. We get a look at the official image of Transformers Movie Advanced AD-32 Stinger. We've seen this picture before but only in low quality images. Stinger is a repaint of the new Camaro Bumblebee.

Since the first pics were shown it was pretty obvious it would be a straight redeco of Bumblebee. We even hoped that TakaraTomy would give him a new Pagani car mode shell. Nope, no such thing. >:oP

Eh, I'll be getting him anyway, best we'll get. Not the first time the car model of the toy doesn't match the one on-screen (look at Dino). Again, I ask: why is it always the red cars that get screwed over?

Posted by Evil Eye on December 24th, 2014 @ 2:47pm CST

A bit of a shame there's no new shell, but to be fair I reckon the costs of retooling him would be more than would be practical for Takara- he'd need most of his molds recut, to the point where he might as well have a whole new toy made for him. These things are pretty expensive to make after all. Kinda disappointed there's no new headsculpt though.

He looks nice in those colours mind you.

If Hasbro completed their prototype of Stinger, we likely would have gotten a Pagani re-shell. But they didn't, so we didn't.
