    Do the hands fold in or pop off?

    Count me in. Especially if it's for the few I mentioned above.

    TakaraTOMY's official X/Twitter account have posted a teaser for the Missing Link Convoy. So it's no longer a rumour.

    So, now that we know it's real (and probably a whole line of toys, not just a one-off - there's someone on TFW2005 from Japan saying that the the solicitation says so)...

    Where should we order from (when orders go up)?

    I'm going to presume that this is Takara-only, and won't be coming from Hasbro (well, maybe Prime will, but I doubt anything further would see a Hasbro release).

    Hobby-Link Japan? Amazon JP? Other?

    Oh that's exciting! I'd love to see more G1 classics done in this style.

    Same here. If this were just Optimus, I probably wouldn't bother beyond looking and thinking "that's nice".

    I might buy the Cartoon Accurate version, but I'm hung up on the fact it seems there's no trailer and roller in that version.
    I have a list of all G1 characters that have been released in CHUG form. You can find it here. Please feel free to let me know if I got anything wrong so I can fix it.

    Japanese sites are now listing Missing Link C-02 and C-01 (e.g. HLJ, Amazon JP, Ami Ami) as well as Robo Robo in Singapore.

    I'd wait for (your favourite ) TFH to put up their list. When Robo Robo does, TFH does soon too (and vice versa).
