Takara Tomy Delays 40th Selection Lio Convoy to Undetermined Date

If you were looking forward to getting the updated T-Spark Transformers 40th Selection Lio Convoy at the end of February I'm afraid I have some bad news. Reddit user Electronic_Zombie360 made the claim Sunday that the figure had been delayed along with a low resolution and unreadable screen cap supposedly stating it was due to a factory misassembly that was caught. This appears to have been corroborated by AmiAmi who sent out an email on Monday stating the figure has been delayed to a yet to be determined date while Hobby Link Japan changed their release date to March 31 (likely a placeholder).

While the delay is certainly annoying it is a good thing that this was caught ahead of shipping out to stores causing a huge headache for everyone.

Source of the misassembly rumor is the (so far) reliable MPG leaker https://tieba.baidu.com/p/9497201646#/

I think most collectors are willing to put up with a delay in production, as long as it means they don't have to 'fix' the figure themselves later (coughcoughcoughKingdomGalvatroncoughcough86Optimuscoughcoughcough)....

Thanks, Scotty!

That's because the Hasbro release was always going to be much later than the Takara Tomy release. Depending on how long the delay is it may not have an affect, but it'll probably get pushed back at least a month.

I can now finally share my photos of the AMT Rodimus. This figure so so SO GOOD.

I love it so much. the IDW look ultra stylized, he looks and functions very nicely. I love the transformation, the tricks with the front wheels and the thighs are both fantastic. The robot is clean, the paint work is beyond incredible, I cannot gush about this guy enough, probably why I have taken so many photos of him!

Epic photos, D-Max! Good to hear that he is as nice as he looks!

I just ordered mine as soon as I saw it was in-stock. I went with Pulse since BBTS has him at an extra 25 dollars. I could have gotten a whole deluxe for that difference. So I ordered a Que as well and didn't actually save any money today.

I was so happy with my Rodimus ...

Until his leg fell off. Yeah. The mechanism involved in transformation warped the plastic inside the leg making it hard to pull out at the right time and the rivet came loose instead. This was the second transformation.

I contacted BBTS about it, but between tariffs and me living in Canada and it being sold out I dunno.
