So it turns out Takara is releasing the wave 2 Velocitron figures as exclusives on their end as well and they are TTMALL exclusives, which means you can only order them on their website with a Japan shipping address. Forwarding services in Japan do exist so this is how some fans will be getting these highly coveted toys. Fellow Seibertronian Emerje details how he will be getting them below. He also shared that there is a new manga up which we also put below, along with the links for Galaxy Shuttle, Crasher and Shadowstrip.

Emerje wrote:So orders just opened of Takara Tomy Mall, Galaxy Shuttle is under $60 USD with tax with pre-orders ending on July 10 release in November. I do have a TTM account, I think I'll order one since the shipping should be free within Japan and I'll just have the shipping service I use receive it and sent it to me, shouldn't cost that much, I'd be surprised if the total was more than $90.

Also there's a new comic up. Crasher is straight out of Challenge of the GoBots, all the way down to her square hands.

Transformers News: Rare Velocitron Exclusives are up on TTMall + New Manga

Here is a synopsis to the manga from TFwiki: https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Velocitron_Speedia_500_Part_3

It's the second week of the Speedia 500 to determine the leader of the planet Velocitron. Cosmos is still hosting, and notes the emergence of three mysterious black racers—two race cars and... a locomotive? The previous racers are surprised at this intrusion into their race.

One of the black race cars reveals himself to be Shadowstrip, an expert in dark courses who shoots out the lights in the tunnel he's travelling through. Bragging of having obtained the power of shadow, Shadowstrip claims that the darker it gets, the more powerful he is. He's interrupted before he can reach the goal, though, by Crasher creating powerful earthquakes that cause the shadowy Decepticon and Clampdown (with Miko Tezuka inside) to fall into a newly created crack in the ground.

The remaining new racer easily foils Crasher's plan by revealing his space shuttle mode to fly over the crack. Proclaiming this triple changing ability his new power obtained after a remodel, the space shuttle reveals himself as Galaxy Shuttle and he goes on to win the race! The other racers aren't appreciative that this intruder went on to win, but things become more chaotic as many Transformers who were spectating join in for a new race!

Meanwhile, Dia Cinders's G1 World counterpart is arrested by her and Burnout.

Like, literally as soon as I made that post did I immediately edit it after seeing the "Out of stock" bit.

Sounds like the bots beat everyone to it. I thought stores were supposed to fix that.

(edit) Looks like KOs are starting to show up on eBay. Yuck.

KO of the Velocitron bots? If the quality is the same and are much cheaper, eh, why not?
If they don't want us to buy the originals, at least the KO will pick up the slack.

Now that AI is attached to everything it simply makes those bots even quicker!

The one I saw on eBay was $20 plus $50 shipping from China. It said it came with a box, but no telling if the quality is any good. At $70 total I'll just keep trying to find a way to get one as cheap as possible.

I've been trying to buy one off Takara Tomy Mall as I've done in the past but it looks like they must have changed something to close that possibility. I can go through the entire process, security hurdles and a final approval from my credit card on my phone and it still gets denied at the end. I'm guessing it's because my addresses don't match even though my credit card keeps approving the sale.

I've tried my VPN, I've tried virtual credit cards from the issuer intended for this type of thing, nothing works, always ends with a store error on completion.

To buy from Takara Tomy Mail, you'll have no choice but to use a proxy service.

In the end, with all the fees added, might as well just buy from an eBay scalper.

I've bought from them in the past without one, you just need a shipping service to receive it for you. Something has changed in the last couple years. The TTM recommends using Amazon Pay instead, but when I try that through Amazon Japan it tells me at the end that it can't be used for pre-orders.

I put a request in with Buyee, we'll see what the fee for that looks like.

It'd be a miracle if they popped up in Ross or Marshalls.

It was a blink and you'll miss it moment, but Galaxy Shutle was back on Walmart.com. A few fans got to order it but by the time any kind of word got out, it was sold out. Apparently, it has come back to being "in stock" very momentarily since then. So we are letting you know, to keep a lookout, in case there's any other blink and you'll miss it in stock moments.

As someone who actually owns Velocitron Galaxy Shuttle, he feels almost like a KO with how loose and floppy he is. I understand were the situation reversed, I'd still be wanting to add him to my collection though. Kind of sucks all around.

Maybe they found the one of mine that they printed the shipping label for and then NEVER SENT

My Galaxy Shuttle isn't floppy. It has tight joints, and can even balance on one of either of its legs.

Oh, this sucks to hear. I haven't heard of wide issues with this release.
