MARCH 2018 Japanese & HK excl toy items
These are TakaraTomy toys (and maybe some significant licensed items) currently known from official sources, scheduled for release in MARCH 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 Transformers Checklist (link to come) 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...

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.
