Well, we knew this would happen eventually. A black repaint of Titans Return Optimus Prime, as Black Convoy/Scourge/Nemesis prime!

I am a fan of RID Black Convoy/Scourge but I might skip this because of the markup there will be on this item.

We knew it was coming.

Might pass on this one as I've got the previous LG-EX Black Convoy (and really like that mould)

Argh damn.

More money.

Oh well, at least I don't own the mold yet.:)

Same here, I might skip Octane for this, not a fan of the sticker on laser prime trailer either so Id probably offload him if i got chaos on velocitron set.

Wow, they've actually made me like the look of those mould
That's something the last 3 uses failed to do
I may try to pick this one up

How easy do you think it will be to offload these though. I only want to keep Nautica but think I might get stuck with them all, especially if no one wants laser prime

Looks perfect. I'm all over this one as Scourge and keen to see Takara's deco for Octane.

More pics! The upside-down G2 Autobot symbol is a nice touch, but not sure how I feel about the teal paint-app on the helmet..

Appreciate the heads up :D

Gotta love that expensive shipping from HK. That's why I try to avoid HK stores, they charge a left kidney for shipping.

TakaraTomy have tweeted out two new images of the Black Convoy toy (http://news.tfw2005.com/2017/05/02/new-official-images-tokio-toy-show-legends-black-convoy-338325), with the recently released Baldigus combiner.

Looking forward to this. When RID first came out I had just gotten my first job and I was considering getting Scourge/Ruination, but never did (wasn't ready to commit), so this is like a fulfillment of that 'want' from all that time ago.

This is one of those toys I hope I can add to the collection when I visit Japan ... along with Baldagus

With the Tokyo Toy Show now on, the exclusive toy for this year is now in hands of collectors, and some photos of the toy in different modes with packaging can be seen here (http://news.tfw2005.com/2017/06/03/tokyo-toy-show-2017-black-convoy-hand-images-340443).

I didn't expect it to sell out that quickly! You snooze, you loose I guess. I think it will be hard to source unless eBay

I was going to buy one of these the other day at RK but sold out. BBTS had it listed last night and was sold out by this morning. Just checked again and it's back on preorder. $90 U.S though. Preordered it anyway but will check other sites for a better price......which I highly doubt now.

The Chosen Prime (http://www.thechosenprime.com/LGEXBlackConvoy) still has it in stock for US$89.99 plus postage which is about US$23.
