I do love stop-motion Transformer figure videos. If only I had the patience to do some myself.

Nice commercial! I like the effort they made to recreate the 2007 deserts.

Anybody else notice how, despite the logo saying "Movie the Best" in both English and Katakana, the announcer consistently referred to the name instead as "Movie the Best Series"?
Also, unless it's for Armada Tidal Wave, I am still not used to hearing the Japanese verbally use the name "Shockwave" instead of "Laserwave".
And did anyone else catch the announcer calling Grimlock a "Legendary Dinobot" ("Densetsu no Dainobotto")?

Yeah. I just didn't think Takara would integrate that into the toy's function.william-james88 wrote:Sabrblade wrote:And did anyone else catch the announcer calling Grimlock a "Legendary Dinobot" ("Densetsu no Dainobotto")?

Yeah, I had no idea Leader Prime had a sound box. Shame he's yelling in Japanese. I'll just stick him with Legends Fort Max so they can shout random lines at each other.

I will have him yell with his TAV self
On another note, did anyone notice how these finalized toys are not as well painted as promised?

Multiply this by 10 and you have the standard amount of talking while you attempt to Transform the arms alone

I don't think "series" is part of the name, it's supposed to mean "line", or "range". Japanese uses more English loanwords, adapted or not, than one would think.

But they did it for Movie Advanced Series and Lost Age Series as well. In some cases like magazine pages, Legends is called "Legends Series" in written Katakana.JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Anybody else notice how, despite the logo saying "Movie the Best" in both English and Katakana, the announcer consistently referred to the name instead as "Movie the Best Series"?

Alfes Blog has some nice in hand images of the first set of Movie the Best toys to be released. Earlier this week, MB 01- 04 which are Optimus, Megatron, Bumblebee and Shockwave, were released. You can see them below. Note how the cab for Otimus has deco on all sides, unlike some earlier in hand images. Also, unlike the others, the Megatron toy with this silver deco is actually a release that was planned back in 2009 under the ID of MR02. An image of what that deco was supposed to look like back in the day is added after the images for you to compare how much has changed since.
These should be shipping out to those who ordered directly from Japan, let us know which are on their way to you! For those who haven't ordered these toys, let us know if these images convince you to get these!

These are gorgeous with only Bumblebee looking a bit of a let down (great figure but really should have had more paint apps). Never got that Megatron before but I'm very tempted by this shiny version.

Thanks to a new flier received from Toys R Us Japan, we have word that TRU Japan is giving away free file folders featuring the image of Optimus Prime and the 3 headed dragon from Transformer: The Last Knight! The file folders will be given away to the first 3000 people to spend over ¥2000 on Takara Tomy related Transformers products.
Movie the Best Optimus Prime and Bumblebee are both being released today and are priced at ¥3999 and ¥2999 respectively, so anyone purchasing those 2 figures will be available for the file folder. So head on out to the Japanese Toys R Us and get your file folder and your new Movie the Best figures!

The screenshot you've posted is NOT from a flyer. It was originally taken from the Toys R Us Mobile website.
Furthermore, the picture you're using is actually MY picture, which I posted at TFW2005:
- http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/t ... n.1098600/
The reason I know, beyond doubt, that it's mine, is because I edited the blue border around the picture. The original, which is also pictured at TFW2005, has part of another picture going OVER the top blue original border, so I removed the original border, and added my own.
Please give credit to me and/or TFW2005, please.

We did not claim we received it, but we apologise for the misunderstanding. The image was actually not sourced from TFW but a social media group - which clearly used your image too.
We have now updated the story, but would also like to remind you that we are happy to report on news that is submitted to us through a variety of channels, including PM and email! Thank you for your contributions, nonetheless.

Thanks. I was going to submit here, but the submission form didn't have the option to attach an image. At TFW2005, they've got that option, so it is easier to submit news there, especially if it's dependant on images.
