Also via Weibo and its user ????, we have some new images of the Takara Tomy Transformers Golden Lagoon redeco of Masterpiece figure MP-10 Optimus Prime / Convoy - the umpteenth version of this specific toy, before the arrival of the third version of the same character in the same line.

Check out the mirrored images below, also including the shiny black box, with golden letters and logos, and images of both robot and alt-mode on the front; let us know what you think of the shiny new paint job on the Autobot commander in the Energon Pub discussion boards - will you be n-th dipping with the toy, or is this overkill by now?

This is pretty cool for a (presumably) final version of this Optimus. Diggin' the black and gold packaging!

So I ended up ordering a Starscream off TTM today. After tax and shipping costs within Japan I'm currently sitting at about $41~. I still thinking it'll run between $50 and $55 total when it ships in October. If all goes well I might make a guide on how to order from Japan-only stores using a mailing service (I use Tenso).

What exactly are we meant to see in the circle?

Pretty sure it's not it, but it looks like gold plastic breakage at the hinge area

That's not plastic breakage at all. It's just good old paint chipping. As a customiser of transformers, I see it happen ALL the time with painted joints.

If you can provide the link when this goes up for preorder, that would be appreciated. I've only seen a couple of *questionable* pre-orders so far and they have it in the $70-$80 range which is ridiculous. Plus they are sites I've not heard of, none of the major online retailers have it yet that I am aware of.

*Edit* looks like Pre-orders are starting to go up For GL Starscream. The Chosen Prime has it for $45. Robot Kingdom has it for $33, and I checked, with shipping would be $43...not as bad as I thought. I'll wait and see BBTS price however (when they have it up) before making my final decision.

Via Japanese fan site Chohenken, we have some new images of the Takara Tomy Transformers Golden Lagoon redeco of Masterpiece figure MP-10 Optimus Prime / Convoy which sees to be the last release of this mold before the arrival of the third version of the same character in the same line.

There are a lot of images here, enough to show you exactly which parts are chrome or painted. We do see that the paint can easily be chipped, which a red circle highlights. This is a Takaratomymall exclusive but it is also being distributed through Hasbro Asia, who local retailers are importing from. He is being sold for around $180 by domestic retailers. Thanks to Shajaki for bringing these pics to our attention.

I thought ut looked ok before, but he looks great now. Athough if I were to change ONE thing from this, besides getting a gold trailer too, I'd make the matrix gold chrome instead of gold plastic. That said, I don't have the money nor the justification to cough up 180$ for a trailer-less Prime.

While I don't have this MP-10 yet, I'm sure the Matrix is diecast painted gold. Every MP-10 Matrix thus far has been diecast, not plastic.

But you did order it, right? :-?

Looking forward to have it in hand?

So I'm glad I jumped on Starscream quickly, pre-orders are already sold out at BBTS. I was originally going to order from RK, but something got wonky with their shipping, originally it was going to be only about $10 to ship, then at the final stage it somehow changed to $27 (and that was the least expensive method!)...No thank you. I know some places have it still...I think Chosen Prime still does, but the price is all about the same- $45 give or take. Not bad, especially in comparison with past TFCC exclusives.

I just want one more use of the CW Starscream before they shelf it forever. With UW Ghost Starscream, TFCC SG Starscream, PotP Voyager, and now this Golden Lagoon version, we're one figure off from being able to create all Starscream combiners.

I went with TFSource for Starscream since I never got any notice about BBTS putting up their preorder for it until well after said preorder had sold out.

Yeah, now that you mention it there were NO pre-order notifications for the Golden Lagon figures besides Prime.

Did I miss the boat in preorders for the Autobots team? What’s the price point on that? I don’t care to own Perceptor, but I’d love to have Beachcomber and Seaspray.

My TFSource preorder for GL Starscream has processed. Gonna wait to ship it later after I save up a bit so as to take advantage of the free shipping on orders over $150. Got my eyes on a few other things that I can group together in my Stack with Screamer.
