Official Images for Takara Transformers Legends LG EX Greatshot and Grand Maximus

Hmmm. since when Grand Maximus knew Fortress Maximus?

Crap. If it's through Takara Tomy Mall, does that mean the 2000+ preorders MUST come from Japanese buyers?

The yellow paint on the sides is animation accurate in robot mode, so it's fine with me. As a bonus, it's also a toy accurate detail as well. Yes, this does create inaccurate yellow panels on the sides of the alternate mode, but I can let those slide. They don't look bad to me, honestly.

I'm assuming some of the big online retailers/importers have a way to get around this. I'm not too concerned about 2,000 orders happening.

Hope you're right about that. These are two imports I really want, but didn't think were going to be happening.

I hope so. I really want that GreatShot, and depending on expected release, I am considering that Maximus too.

At the very least, I haven't seen any such stipulation for Greatshot. He seems firmly in the 'definitely happening' camp.

And, man, while I still want Sixshot more... that is one hell of a good rendition of Greatshot. Someone put a lot of heart into that retool!

I'm starting to wonder if there is any reason for me to buy the Hasbro figures anymore. The Takara ones generally look so much better to me.

The fact that the previous legends reissues did not pass the treshold asked for tells me that its just TTMall. If there was a way to get around it through other retailers, then there would be enough demand for nothing to have been cancelled, which wasnt the case.

I know right?! look at that new beast head!!! And the chest and shoulders!!!! and the robot head!!! It is frikkin' awesome!!!!

Yeah! It's all they needed to do - considering it's all the original did - but it still feels like they went above and beyond

It really is all they needed to do! But they did it in the way that I've said makes these things even better: they did the retooling in the right areas, and the colors just smash it home.

Great shot: definite. and then I will have all 3 generations 6 changers!!!! Though he definitely looks the best

Same here. This would have been so easy for Hasbro to do, instead of Quickswitch, but I guess the fact that QS wasn't changed at all (save for the Titan Master) made it an easier/lazy release. I would have been perfectly happy with just Six & Great, since originally QS was a completely different toy, but having all 3 (even though the middle kid isn't a true representation), will be nice.
