In-Hand Images of Takara Tomy Transformers Legends LG-EX Greatshot and Grand Maximus

Greatshot look absolutely FANTASTIC. I wonder if the price will be reasonable enough for an exclusive? I never like 6shot because he was so bland looking. But THIS is just fabulous. Like a Super Sentai mech!

I'm still waiting on TFsource to get Greatshot in, but once he's in, he, MP40, G2 Megs, War Hammer Bee, and a time gun for Hot Rod shall be on their way!

After enjoying Quickswitch more than I thought, I am so looking forward to this spiky awesome Greatshot, complete with rhino mode. I plan to do a review with all 3 6-changers!

Is Greatshot a general release, or a very nice and expensive exclusive?

He's a LG-EX, but on I think on sites like TFsource it's only a $5 difference

I know he's an Takara "exclusive". I mean as a special Hobby Lobby or some convention or other.

Not as far as I know

TakaraTomy Mall exclusive.

So, Takara have it's own post office then?

Anyway, I saw the price and I must pass. There's too many important figures on my radar and some things have to be skipped.

Well shi.... I always thought it was Takara Tommy Mail. As in the mail-away only figures you got with the TF points back in the 1980s.

I'd want it but I'll have to keep my money for a possible MP-03 GreenScream.

It's Tomy not Tommy, strong "O" like Sony. Super common mistake.

Tommy the mailman.

Has there ever been a toy that was only ever available at Hasbro Toy Shop?

*Only* at HTS? None. They're usually shared with other stores, I guess to offset the otherwise very limited (too limited to be lucrative) distribution, or it's used as a platform to sell convention overstock.

So then thats very different from TTMall. They had a ton of exclusives which were only available there in Japan. Like half the Unite Warriors line.

Still thanks to users in the Hobbymizer Facebook group, much like the previous story we posted on the topic here, we have some further in-hand images of the recently released Takara Tomy Transformers Legends LG-EX Grand Maximus set, including Grand, the sword accessory, and decals and stickers.

Thanks to Oscar Fung, Ip Kei Tsun, and Chan Wei Choy Mario, we have images of the set by itself, the box, packaging, and - most interestingly - comparisons with the original toy from the late 1980s. Check them all out below, and let us know what you think in the Energon Pub!
