But before that, there are some other news-worthy items to note. The first are listings for Beast Wars Masterpiece Megatron and Optimus Primal - Megatron is priced at 35,000 JPY (roughly 315 USD) and is set for release in January of 2019. Optimus Primal (presumably a re-release of the regular Masterpiece Primal) will be released a month later in February 2019, for 12,000 JPY (110 USD). If you want to discuss Megatron check out this thread, and post here to talk about Primal.
Secondly, and this is exciting, we have what seems to be confirmation of a Takara release of Power of the Primes Leader Nemesis Prime and Deluxe Wreck-Gar! This is our first indication of the two exclusive figures being released in Takara's Power of the Primes toyline - line integration is one thing, but it's good to hear that at least some exclusives will be transferring across too! Wreck-Gar is 2,800 JPY (25 USD) and Nemesis Prime is 8,000 JPY (72 USD), both set for release in December this year - discuss their impending Takara releases in the universal Power of the Primes thread!
And finally, the biggest new information (in terms of interest and physical size) - an Encore release of Transformers Armada Unicron, priced at 20,000 JPY (180 USD) and also to be released December. This tried-and-true mold has seen release after release, very rarely going long without a new version, but this time seems likely to be special - fellow Seibertron staff ScottyP explains:

That's right, this listing seems to indicate an Encore re-release of the green colored Unicron of Light figure, and Lucky Draw toy of which only 10 have ever been made (at the moment)! While it may devalue those existing Lucky Draw figures somewhat, this may be a great opportunity for other fans to obtain the mold in those special colors if our analysis is to be believed.
Check out the listings on Loopaza's Facebook page here, and to discuss this Encore Unicron look no further than this very thread! Speculate away, share your thoughts, and rest assured we at Seibertron.com will let you know as soon as more information on this toy comes to light!
