MAY 2020 Japanese and Asia exclusive items
These are TakaraTomy toys (and maybe some significant licensed items) currently known from official sources, scheduled for release in MAY in Japan (as well as in Asia, as most Japanese Transformers toys are also released through Hasbro Hong Kong).
These monthly lists will be archived on the 2020 Transformers Checklist if you need to refer to these listings later (if anything is found out later, because these monthly lists won't be updated after their month ends).
Some recent listings for reference...
APR 2020 listing
JAN-MAR 2020 listing
December 2019 listing
November 2019 listing
October 2019 listing
September 2019 listing
August 2019 listing
Dates and details can change at any time - Approximate yen prices listed are just a rough guide to their retail price in Japan.
Links were active at the time they were first added and are only there for reference/proof of details - I do NOT endorse or promote any of those businesses.
