Hi,
Just aked my wife and like the other forum said you have to spend over $50 on Transformers United products,1 is at Toys R Us and the other is at a camera shop(like a department store that sell's camera and has a toy section as well),I'm not in japan until next year.So that doesnt help:D

[SharkyMcShark]

While I like the concept I feel its a bit useless without remolding so they've got a peg to be held with (in place of the 5mm hole essentially).

A similar thing was done with the Gravitron remold of Armada Firebot.

[gekisou]

Yeah! My missus lives near a TRU and I will be there in Janurary!!! Yeah!!! :)

[kaiden]

Some of them have that already. Most of the mini-cons I have gotten from the PCC line already have 5mm pegs

[kaiden]

Cant be bothered making a new topic.

Transformers United figures come with bio cards! im screwed! >_<

[gekisou]

Man... my 'to-buy' list just got bigger...

[1AZRAEL1]

That is cool, but doesn't warrant me buying them all over again.

[mknell]

I hope they still have these in march when I go

[gekisou]

Did you want to get something for 3,000 yen to get the free Targetmaster cos I don't know if I will be spending 70 bucks to get two from the same place.

sure, but it'll have to be a 'wait and see' since the scans show a rrp of around 2400yen.

Just a bit of warning... I plan on getting a lot of stuff myself so just a disclaimer that me helping anyone at this point is based on whether I can fit the stuff in my luggage...

That being said, I'm sure my missus will prevent me for spending too much on toys, we're going to Ghibli Museum and Disney Sea as it is... and that is expensive... and I'm also checking out the Kamen Rider and Ultraman movies... so I'm now wondering where my money will mysteriously come from...

Awesome! the Ghibli Museum. I'd love to visit that.

They're meant to partner with Generations Blurr, Scourge and Kup.

[1AZRAEL1]

Anyone going to do a group order of these? I wouldn't mind getting them early, as they say they will be damn expensive in the after market for being so exclusive.

how do you do group orders for Toys R Us Japan & Bic Camera Store & Yodobashi Store exclusives?

OH man... interesting idea... if it werent for the exclusivity- these will be damn expensive.

Are these guys just pcc minicons? - just use those instead?

[1AZRAEL1]

True, but they will have a different paint scheme :D

[Vector Prime]

I haven't paid any attention to the PCC range, which ones are they repaints of?

I noticed on the last page UN-09 is Henkei Megatron. Is he going to be retooled into a Deluxe sized figure?

That would make it look awesome when standing together with the other Classics figs!

[SuspectimusPrime]

My bad.

Just saw the price for UN-09 so I just it's just another slight recolouring of Henkei Megs.

[gdmetro]

Wow... BBTS selling the 3 for the low low price of $150USD...:eek:

http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=TAK11218&mode=retail

Which PCC packs are these guys in - I might pick the pcc ones up instead.

[Vector Prime]

Wow... BBTS selling the 3 for the low low price of $150USD...:eek:

That's just an insane for 3 minicons! :eek:

I bet there are some people out there (completist) who would be willing to pay the money for them.

and pay for it they did - its sold out.

Reminds me of an old saying: "Goes to show that there's a buyer for everything, no matter the price" (or was it, "some people have more dollars than sense"? :p)

I think Ted Dibiase (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=td9i6-oa4Kw) put it right: "Everybody's got a Price for the Million Dollar Man!". :D

[Vector Prime]

These are apparently out in Japan today with a limit of approximately 10 per store (according to reports on TFW2005 (http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-generations-classics-30-35/united-haywire--fracas-in-package-images-171183/))

Hope this isn't true... ah well, I will definitely be at a Bic Camera at Nagoya in a few days and will definitely be getting a TRU one on New Year's day as there is a TRU 5 minutes from my missus's home.

[gekisou]

Bought an Earth Mode Megatron from TF:U and a Ez Legends blind pack to make the 3,000 yen at TRU and got my Recoil today. Not a Minicon I recognize so yeah!
There were heaps so hoping there will still be one or two at the Nagoya Bic Camera when I get there.
Oddly enough, the TRU staff didn't know about this til I asked about it. They sent me to the Service Centre and the staff there gave me my TargetMicron.

[Vector Prime]

Fingers crossed! ;)

[jaydisc]

That's a serious dollar-to-weight ratio. Though probably not as much as Dino-cassettes.

Not yet that is... ;)

It probably won't ever reach the same lofty prices, but if they remain scarce, who knows what's possible (I'm currently looking at a Armada Micron Fire Saber set of 3 minicons and that's $100+ :()

[gekisou]

Went to Nagoya BIC Camera and grabbed a TF: A Black Out and a RoTF Keychain to make the 3,000 yen again and got TargetMicron! There were heaps there so 10 to a shop may not be accurate.
