Tokyo Toy Show June 3-4

[griffin]

If there are any big new reveals at this event this weekend, they will spawn their own news topics, so this one is for the early info, and any general or small news from the event.

From the Tokyo Toy Show site, TakaraTomy have let people know what to expect this year, including...
- a "real car trailer" Optimus truck that is 9 meters long.
- Movie toys being featured.
- AU x Transformers (phone bots) crowdfunding toys (I guess it means they got enough support and are doing them).
- Presentation of speed-change (1-step) toys.
- Some guests are expected.
- And the exclusive Black Convoy toy, for 6000yen, limited to 2 per person.

(details here look to be google-translated (http://news.tfw2005.com/2017/05/30/2017-tokyo-toy-show-information-updates-339888), from somewhere on the Toy Show website - I couldn't find where, and Seibertron didn't even post any source/credit links to help me either)

Why are all the trade shows I'm interested in happening within two weeks of each other? Computex is on now, Tokyo Toy Show on the weekend and E3 in a week and a half.

I'd suggest you pick one & commit to it rather than spread yourself too thin.

Is it known if/when will be doing presentations? I am hoping for MP Dinobot news. :)

I think the presentation and panels are up on the last day/night of the show, so still a few days to wait unfortunately.

The TakaraTomy exhibit has been small for Transformers this year, but no less rewarding. (even though it only has the one "major" reveal)
