The first of the Sentinel Pens, actually called Optimus Prime instead of Convoy, was released in Japan two days ago, and a gallery can be seen here of it in-hand (http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/japanese-transformers-40/sentinel-optimus-prime-pen-in-hand-images-181228/).
It is still available on Amazon Japan (http://www.amazon.co.jp/%E5%8D%83%E5%80%A4%E7%B7%B4-TRANSFORMERS-%E3%82%B3%E3%83%B3%E3%83%9C%E3%82%A4%E3%83%9A%E3%8 3%B3/dp/B00KNO5RUG/ref=pd_cp_hb_0) (about AU$45!), but it is classed as a toy, so you'd need to get someone there to help, or a shipping forwarder. Or buy from a secondary source.
Note though, it is not produced or released by TakaraTomy - it is a licensed product... it is rare for licensed products to be transformable, so maybe there was some involvement by TakaraTomy in the design?
The black version has a release date of October 31st, and possibly the white version as well.
