Was this your first time ordering from there?

Not at all. I really love ordering from them, they usually pack everything incredibly well

Has anyone reported them coming with weapons? I'm asking because mine actually did come with his grey blaster and shoulder cannon battery.

You took the guns out of the box? Because the way they are placed is kinda "hidden" for someone who is in too much of a hurry to take the figures out. And the guy may have dumped the box, along the weapons still in it, in the garbages.

That's what (may have) happen previously.

Yeah, I took them out of the box. I just got Soundwave and Doombox out as well. I do see how someone could not find the 2 pieces depending on how they open the box and throw them away with the box.

Oh well, I hope the guy who doesn't have the weapons doesn't mind. (Which I assume he doesn't, as he already had the standard Soundwave.)

Mine came with the weapons as well, and they were a bit tucked away on the right side of the box. In all the boxes I saw actually... Except for the guy that was missing them. Not his fault at all, they simply weren't there and he even took pics of the opened box. Nothing...
Mind you, not having a dedicated space for accessories is a bad thing, things like that are bound to happen.

Yeeesh….
Hope he kept his receipt.

Not to worry, he got a second one, with weapons this time

After having some awesome in-hand images and a video review for the Takara Tomy Bumblebee Movie BB-02 Optimus Prime, we have even more images of the new leader sized figure! This figure is based on the Age of Extinction Evasion Mode Optimus Prime, but upscaled and given some new transformation tricks and some new weapons. He also features improved posability.

The new images show us even more comparison images for the figure, all courtesy of Alfes2010 on Twitter, which include MP-10, Power of the Primes Leader Prime, Evasion Mode Prime, and the new Power Surge Bumblebee.

We also have a new video review courtesy of lichlute on Youtube, showing us the transformation sequence, which was left out of the previous video review due to a factory defect.

Check it all out below, and let us know what you think in the comments section below!

That is pretty neat (EW. what era is that?)

wish i was a kid so i can have it

The Bumblebee movie is on our horizon, and the toyline can be found in your local toy store. But what is missing? That is right, the One Step Changers. A staple of... "culture" since Age of Extinction. As is tradition, we have reveals of new Bumblebee Movie inspired One Step Changers, by TakaraTomy. These are for the Turbo Change toyline, which was used after the The Last Knight for simple toys only.

Dengeki Hobby issued an article showcasing these new toys showing:

TC-14 Optimus Prime (reuses engineering from Age of Extinction Galvatron/first Cyberverse Optimus Prime)
TC-15 Barricade (redeco of The Last Knight Barricade)
TC-16 Bumblebee (reuses engineering from first Robots in Disguise Bumblebee)

These guys are clearly meant for the Bumblebee movie based on their designs... except Barricade, who was most likely thrown in due to his presence in the film.

These guys are gonna be up for grabs on December 27th, 2018 for ¥1,296 (around $11). TSo if you like what you see, be sure to snag them! And remember to tell us your thoughts in the Pub forums below!

Legendary OP is sitting in my HLJ private warehouse or else I would

I'll be all over those Prime and Bumblebee one step changers, if they get released in the US.
