Back in August we got our first look at the T-Spark Synergenex line featuring a Transformers crossover with Godzilla. A few months later and pre-orders are now here! Now, this line didn't have a great reception when it was first announced but there has been at least a little interest in seeing Studio Series Grimlock slightly retooled into a Megatron cosplaying as a discount Godzilla while the other is a very gray Legacy Laser Optimus Prime repaint. But the good news is these are actually fairly cheap, all things considered. Both figures are sold at the Japanese retail price of 9,350 JPY, but Amazon Japan is pricing them tentatively at 8,603 JPY which about the price of a Hasbro Leader at around $56 USD. And like I said, that's tentative, Amazon hasn't reduced the price yet, which is good because you're still going to be charged for shipping. The good news there is that both figures are being released on May 31 in Japan so you can split the shipping on the two and save a little over having to ship them at different months if you choose to go this route.

Here are the Amazon Japan pre-orders, but they'll be available basically everywhere in Japan since these aren't exclusives.

Just wanting the prime for some weird reason, but not at full price with the amount of times I have skipped on the original version for less than half price. Never saw toxitron in stores here but even that can be found half price in euros.

I'll wait for these to pop into my country's geek stores.

Paying a whopping 50$CAN for shipping alone for ONE of them is a big fat NOPE.

I'm sorry, this is NOT Godzilla. Get me a REAL Godzilla Transformer and I am totally in. Not for this.

Godzilla is green. Watched since we were a kid. No thank you.

Not even a lower price tag makes me want to pay for these things.

Yeah, the only thing his T-rex mode sort of reminds me of is Device Label Trypticon.

And his bot mode head looks like he's starting to get irritated about it.

I'm getting all the SS86 Dinobot repaints. So that Megs is a sure get for me. As long that I don't have to import it, that is.

Despite the fact that it is not a "genuine" X-over figure, I head-canon that Megs as Grimlock cosplaying as Megatron who cosplay as Godzilla.
Cosplayception.

Once he's available somewhere more local I think I'm still get Black Grimlock. I think someone will be add-ons for him and I'll buy those.

I guess I could be wrong, but we'll see.

TBH, I do think Grimlock looks good in black too.

You're experiencing the Mandela effect hard at work. Not once in any movie has he ever been green. Maybe with poor colorization, but he's always been mostly dark gray to black.

Here's the original 1954 costume on display:

Not only the shipping rates have been raised, they moved out of the house and are now living on their own.

Here's what's really weird about the shipping. Megatron and Optimus were around 4,500 each (I don't remember the exact price, they've now sold out) and together they were like 7,500. However, I also added T-Spark Toyrise Bravern to my order which on its own had around the same shipping price, but added to the other two the total shipping for all three was 8,835 and that figure comes out two months later! Really doesn't make any sense.

Strange as it can't ship to Canada.

Go with Hobby Search. They will ship to Canada and the base price is cheaper than Amazon. The shipping is unspecified, but if you go with "air small packet" it should be less than 40$CAN.

However, be warned that at that price, you still may be slammed by customs.

Megs: https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/11137613

Prime: https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/11137612

FOMO is getting to me so I'm preordering Megs from them. Fingers crossed for no customs.

I just pre-ordered from there.

I sort of thought we'd get options from outlets like BBTS, but I guess the Godzilla part of this is complicating things. Or maybe I'm just being impatient.

They've been also been weeks behind, all the importers I use have been. but they have been worth it to save on shipping.

If I’m not mistaken, the OP repaint is based on Kiryu colors.Still a strange thing to behold, but it isn’t completely thoughtless.

Surprised Kiryu Prime wasn't put up.

Link just in case:

65$US is expensive, but that's how it goes.

The base price is much cheaper at Hobby Search (7650JPY).

However, taxes and shipping will be the final arbiter. I have no idea what those will be at Hobby Search.
