Power Plus Soundwave and Ironhide Found at US Retail Making Every Toy in Bumblebee Line Accounted For

All the toys in a line appear at U.S. Retail? Has this ever happened before? Usually there's one or two that have very limited distribution and some don't show up in the U.S. at all.

These where at a Target in Chester, VA! I posted this in the Toy Sighting Forum for Virginia.

Looking for some interesting exclusive merchandise from the Transformers: Bumblebee movie? Japanese publication TV-Kun may have what you're looking for in the form of their newly announced "Red Fire Optimus Prime" exclusive figure! This figure is a clear red plastic "repaint" of Energon Igniters Speed Series Optimus Prime. Black Convoy of TFW2005 has translated the press release from TV-Kun's website, which details that the figure is tied to the May 2019 issue of TV-Kun magazine and will debut for the Japanese market on April 1, 2019 at the price of 980 JPY. Below is the image from the press release on TV-Kun's website for your reference.



What do you make of this Japanese exclusive figure? Do you love all things clear plastic in your Transformers? Does this figure seem worth the effort of importing for fans outside of Japan? Let us know in the comments below, and stay tuned to Seibertron.com for the latest news on all things Transformers!

Goes with the clear Bumblebee Speaking of which, here's a (Japanese, no-word) video showing him off:



The box also contains a so-called Secret Medal for the Kamen Rider Buttobasoul arcade game. That one is Kamen Rider Geiz from the current Kamen Rider Zi-O series.

7-Eleven Japan has something to say on 3/8. Thanks to fellow Seibertronian TrypticonCarne in the Energon Pub forums we've been alerted to a message on their 7Net Twitter page that announces, well, an announcement coming next week to the 7Net website. And if that isn't intriguing enough it's accompanied by a silhouette of what's likely the Takara Tomy Leader class-sized Legendary Optimus Prime for the Bumblebee Movie. Could we be getting another Ultra Magnus-esque 7-Eleven repaint like the MP-711 Convoy from last year? We'll know in a week.

Google translation of the Twitter message:

Movie "Bumblebee" release commemoration! Something happens on 3/8 (Friday) at 14: 00 .... ROBOTS IN DISGUISE ... Please expect!

If you are talking to me. You are mistaken that is the Bumblebee movie Optimus. Not siege

Found this today. Now I know what 7-11 is doing
