How are these reviewers getting their toys? Do TakaraTOMY send out exclusive early samples to them (similar to how film reviewers get to attend special early screenings)?
...and how can I get this job?

They live in Asia and either pick up from store or pay obscene amounts for stupidly fast postage. Gotta get them YouTube hits!!!How are these reviewers getting their toys? Do TakaraTOMY send out exclusive early samples to them (similar to how film reviewers get to attend special early screenings)?

I got my Ironhide this afternoon. Here are a few iPhone photos and my initial thoughts.
Man - I know I am probably biased since Ironhide is my 2nd all time favourite character but he is SO MUCH FUN!
He looks amazing in vehicle mode. The paint job is perfect. The wheels are plastic-y but I can live with that. I personally love the blue tint windows.
Transformation is actually very clever however on my figure the feet were stuck together so tight I ended up reluctantly having to use a screwdriver to carefully pry them open.
Despite my nervousness because of the feet being 'stuck' I really LOVE how they've put the transformation together for Ironhide because it makes full use of cavities and part manipulation to create the robot mode.
It's one of those figures where I feel truly satisfied by the transformation; aside from the hip panels everything has a neat place to move to go from van to bot. In my opinion there isn't much in the way of kibble and no backpack shell or anything like that.
The sled it cool and there are so many little bits to configure I still haven't decided what I'm going to do for his display pose (I'm tempted to use the jetpack and have him launching off the ground). I'm still working my way through all the bits he comes with...
The coin is also very nice.
The only thing they could do to make him even more impressive for me would be to give him Peter Cullen's Ironhide voice.

Pictures look way more promising than the first few on hand pics.
