2 items for me in January - Legends Brainstorm and the Four Pack

[griffin]

Images of the Brainstorm and 4-pack toys, showing the colour differences to the Hasbro versions (a lot of darker colours on the 4-pack toys).
One of the photos includes the Masterpiece Star Saber toy, showing just how massive it is next to Brainstorm (for anyone who has Brainstorm - it is the tallest Voyager of the 2014 Generations toys).

[Megatran]

There doesn't appear to be a QT Gen1 Optimus Prime? Or at least not yet...

[Paulbot]

I'd say so, the wings and guns definitely add a bit to the height though.

[High_Q]

There doesn't appear to be a QT Gen1 Optimus Prime? Or at least not yet...

I don't think so, but a transformable G1 Optimus was made as part of 'Choro Q Robo' series a few years back if you don't already have one.

[DELTAprime]

I was going to wait till February's items come out to ship my Private Warehouse but I can't wait to get a Brainstorm any longer. I'll be shipping him right away.

[griffin]

And now MP Exhaust has been pushed back, to the same date of MP Star Saber (March 21st)... who was already pushed back about a month ago.

Also added in the new list of April-June items for Japan. Names and details are from the source and will be adjusted when confirmed.
