Ah, ok - Well I certainly hope that they are printed on a separate flap because I really can't imagine many people being all too willing to cut up their Unicron, Primus or Sleepy-mus Prime boxes just for a re-purposed stand. :p

very cool!
Still hesistant to go on ordering one at this stage. Knowing Takaratomy, this figure will be reissued with a couple of addition to the toy in the very near future.
Sigh...unless there's one with a really good price....
It seems pretty complete to me. What else can they add? a Daniel?
The only thing that may be a bit of a bother is that it may not have the Matrix or room to store it within his chest. On the other hand, Matrixes are now a dime a dozen so that's not a big deal if you want to display your Rodimus with one.
so far its only been Prime and MP-08X King Grimlock
to a lesser extent - Starscream/Ghost/Seekers
Courtesy of TFW2005.com, a scanned image from the latest issue of Figure King depicting the figure along with what should be included such as stand and paperwork has surfaced.
Looks. Nuts! I like!
not a fan of the stand, but everything else looks great!
Oh man that is going to be a big box to try and fit somewhere.
But the picture of Rodimus on the stand looks awesome.
The stand doesn't come with the toy, so you don't have to worry about it not looking right with Rodimus, or if it will make the box a lot bigger.
It's a mail-away item, using the robot points that were included with each of the 2010 toys.
For those that do want the stand (who don't already have the Hasbro Optimus one), it may end up being a bit pricey to acquire.
Yay! Release date 29th Jan according to RK website! Can't wait!

What?? How about those of you who DIDN'T order from RK? Any word on whether or not you guys have to pay extra for shipping for the goodies? That's BS!
What - that coin thing wasn't just some fan crap? If so, and TakTom is going to continue to write things in English, the company needs an English-speaking proofreader.
Not really. Remember that this toy is being marketed at a Japanese market, and most Japanese people don't understand English. But they do see English text as a pretty looking decorative ornament. Nobody actually CARES what it means or if it's correct... people just look at it and think, "Ooh cool... English."
I find it far more offensive when HASBRO can't write English properly... like Grappel. GRAPPEL?? It doesn't even _sound_ the same. I would pronounce Grappel as "Grap-Pell"... Hasbro is a company based in an Anglophone country staffed by many fluent and literate speakers of English marketing its toys at an Anglophone market... and they give us names like "Grappel"?!? That's just... spastic!
Oops, how Over-Run of me. :p
