November 2015 Japanese & HK excl toy items

[griffin]

These are TakaraTomy toys (and maybe some significant licensed items) currently known from official sources, scheduled for release in NOVEMBER in Japan, as well as in Asia (most Japanese Transformers toys are also released through Hasbro Hong Kong).

These monthly lists are archived on the Transformers Checklist here if you need to refer to these listings later (if anything is found out later, these monthly lists won't be updated after their month ends).

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.

Unite Warriors
- UW03 - Guardian (Defensor with new mould DLX Groove replacing Rook - TakaraTomyMall exclusive & HK release) - November 28th (16,000yen)

Still so far away.

[ampoldj]

and unfortunately UW03 Guardian/Defensor release has been moved a couple of weeks

from 28th November to 12th December

http://takaratomymall.jp/shop/g/g4904810831747/

[griffin]

That's becoming a common thing now for their higher priced items.

Devastator will probably be pushed back next.

Devastator will probably be pushed back next.

Oh yeah there is no way they will release both the same time

[drifand]

Why push devy back as it is a complete product with minor changes from the Hasbro?

Again disappointed if that happens.

[griffin]

The Adventure toys and Q-Transformers for this month are now out, and images of some of the more significant ones have been posted up.

Adventure
- TAV33 - Optimus Prime Supreme Mode (black/red redeco TAV21 with weapons)

Adventure Verses 2-packs
- TAVVS05 - Drift Origin (redeco Warrior Drift in Gen1 colours & new head) & Jazz Battle Mode (Warrior Jazz with Stepper head)

[DELTAprime]

I was going to order Defensor from BBTS because of their great CS and the bad QC I got on Menasor, but I'm thinking the longer TT push it back the more I'll pay, so I might order from a HK seller this week since they require payment up front.

EDIT: If anyone is like me and has Defensor on order at BBTS I would suggest getting him from RK if money is an issue for you like me. I found that it cost $20USD more to add him to my POL at BBTS than to buy from RK and have him shipped EMS. Of course the best deal was PC, but that ship sailed before I realised HLJ wasn't getting him.

The month is almost over, but there were two additions to November that had to be noted.

TF4 Movie Advance
- EX Sideswipe (ToysRUs exclusive - redeco & added weapons) - November 28th (3,300yen)

TF3 Movie (Dark of the Moon)
- Nightmare Megatron (TakaraTomyMall exclusive - grey/purple/gold redeco TF2 Leader Megatron) - November (was October 24th) (15,000yen - 2,000 units)
(very similar colour scheme to Hasbro Asia's 2012 Dark Energon Megatron)


Plus, I have noted UW Devastator as having a December 12th release date, brought forward from the 31st... which should make a lot of people happy who were wanting it before Christmas.

And as another last minute December addition, coming out next week in Japan, is their release of the Clash RID Warrior Megatronus as a ToysRUs exclusive there like everywhere else in the world that got it. (it hasn't come here yet)
The Japanese release should be identical toy and packaging, with just an Adventure scanning code on the chest instead of the RID game app scanning code.
