Care of Robotkingdom.com I have included updated photos from there website showcasing Unite Warriors UW-02 Menasor. I have mirrored the pics for your enjoyment and the link to Robotkindgom.com. He Looks killer and very Menacing!!! http://www.robotkingdom.com/transformer ... uw02m.html

I was sitting on the fence too long with UW-01 Superion. By the time I decided I wanted it, I'd missed all the good Amazon.jp pre-order prices. So, on release day, I went to one of the biggest toy retailers in the city before they opened.

Less than a minute after the doors opened, Superion was sold out. There were enough Day 1 fans waiting outside to wipe out their stock *that* fast.

Took mine home, messed about with it for a bit, and decided to pre-order Menasor immediately, so as not to have to go through that again.

Then when Devastar showed up on Amazon.jp with that insanely low 17,000 yen asking price, I couldn't have stopped myself from ordering if I'd wanted to. I think that's cheaper than the Hasbro version's MSRP.

I'm not a part of the 50cent Army you lovable dag! Just spreading the word and it IS newsworthy I believe.

Annnnd, I'd have posted the official sponsor HLJ link if only their interface/search engine didn't blow chunks

Out of curiosity, how is the quality of your Superion set? I noticed on mine that Skydive's right shoulder doesn't tab in correctly and will come off if I try to rotate the arm at all. I also noticed that the yellow paint by Silverbolt's elbow area is chipping off due to the tab that rubs up against it when going to combined mode.

I haven't noticed those problems yet. But I can definitely see the Silverbolt thing being an issue over time. Can't say as I had any issue with Skydive. Knock on wood.

Overall, though, the quality is about what I'd expect. It's been awhile since I bought a new TakaraTomy Transformers release (since March of 2012, to be exact), so I wasn't quite sure what to expect. But I don't have many major complaints, thus far.

Thanks for the info. Yea, the Skydive I'm pretty sure is just a defect with my particular figure. Luckily the online retailer is helping me get that fixed.

The Silverbolt issue is definitely concerning, and I'm surprised more people haven't mentioned it. Seems like a design flaw. I can understand if it happens over time, but I've only transformed it a handful of times.

I have no issue with either of those for now.

Man, that must mean Takara products have a constantly low production run.

Toys R Us, as far as Transformers shipments are concerned, are usually one and done. I wasn't at TRU when Superion was released, but since TRU is usually closer to the MSRP than most other toy retailers, I'd imagine that they sold it for at least 12,500 yen (possibly above 13,000).

TRU's not usually empty, but they sell out of the popular stuff pretty quickly. Their shelves are often full of less-popular stuff. The Bruticus limbs hung around forever. Most of the TF:Go figures (except for Goradora) never sold out. Generations Soundwave/Blaster clogged shelves forever.

I'm not sure about the productions run size, though. Apologies.

Just got my payment request from HLJ for Menasor, and promptly paid for the set. ~$140AU (before shipping) still works out cheaper than hunting down the Hasbro equivalent locally.

Will ship him (and Kabaya Seacons) after next weeks pay.

So with the impending arrival of Menasor, it's time Superion made his way from the lounge to the TF collection room. Unfortunately I need to move things around for him to fit ...

Btw, just to make a pointI ordered this alreadu. Prepaid! And not even a discount at RobotKingdom. MP Lambor and Guardian





Nope. Not paid by RK either "dag"

Just to prove a point and not out of topic. I order from various sources and not just "amiami"
