JP Exclusive Million/Generations (book) Stepper?

[griffin]

Considering the last figure (Elite Guard Optimus) was pushed back a month or two (and a few general release items in the last year)... I don't have much faith in TT to ever be early with a release.
If they already have the toy colours done and a sample produced, and the book is now out for pre-ordering, it suggests that it is ready to be produced right now but the publisher wants to make sure they produce enough to meet demand/orders. I guess with production/shipping-to-Japan times would account for the 4 months between pre-order cutoff and its release to customers. Maybe the 4 months of pre-orders is too long, making the 8 month wait longer than it should be.

Stepper pricing has been announced, as reported on seibertron.com and is not as expensive as originally speculated.

Whether it is Stepper or Ricochet to you, Million Publishing has released the price tag on their 2011 exclusive item! The price of one Stepper along with Million Publishing's exclusive book is 4700 Yen or $57 US. Stepper by itself goes for 3500 Yen or $43 US. The price of two Steppers and one book is 8800 Yen ($108 US) ! Will these prices see a drop in the import price for Stepper/Ricochet on our Site Sponsors? Only time will tell!

which is why i was so confused by $100+ pre-order prices as ghost starscream and electro disruptor mirage were $80 at RK and stepper doesnt even have clear parts like those 2 did.

Was it confirmed whether it actually came with recoloured Nightstick?
