Hmm, for what they are worth here are Amazon Japans listings. Although I see they have a notesaying these images are of the foreign ones, so nope, we haven't seen them yet.

Did some research on this. It only costs about $5! I instantly placed an order through amiami.
info on Kotobukiya official website
This will look great on other similarly scaled TFs as well.
Got my shipping notice as well just now. Can't wait!:p
Bugger it, just ordered both from RK.
I just quickly grabbed a set from RK too... been watching stock numbers since they were preorders but swear it dropped from 70 or so at lunchtime to less than 30 this evening so figured it was time to stop sitting on the fence!
Placed these on BBTS preorder a while ago but it's nice to finally see some in-hand images. Both look pretty nice. The only thing I don't dig is Blitzwing's tank mode. Looks VERY hollow at the back, and has gaps. The other modes look pretty decent though. G1 version had a nicer tank mode IMHO though.
I'll reserve my judgment until I've watched some video reviews of these two. Either way I'm committed now and will still be happy to receive that box from BBTS when they finally arrive in stock.
Been holding off until some "in hand" pictures emerged, after having being burnt by FoC Grimlock.
Springer is a must have and I'll be adding to my POL. Blitzwing, not so much.
For those debating RK or BBTS, ive had a quick look and from what i've read here RK ships at $85 & BBTS at $87 (trackable USPS Express mail). I've had no dramas with either :)
