JP TFPrime toys to have Targetmasters (plus new Skywarp)

[Doubledealer]

There's another rumour that the TMs come unassembled. if all these rumours come true I'll be ecstatic! stickers? Microns to build? All im hearing is fun, fun, fun!

Very interesting indeed.

the AM figures have less paint apps than the Western releases

Must have missed this the first time...How is this even possible?? And how would they look next to the supreme being that are the Takara FE's? I'm calling BS on this particular rumour. The stickers will more than likely enhance the toys eg. give Ratchet his trademark heart rate logo. Time will tell I guess!

Those already upset over the FE line being cut prematurely are going to LOVE this. It looks like the Takara PRID toys are coming out with awesome Targetmasters whereas we get a gun that can be held on its side to represent a club. Uh oh spaghettios!

Ahem, it's PRIDE doncha know.

Personally, I'm not too keen on these as packaged-with accessories. If they're capsule toys I'll probably try for them, but I really don't want many of the main figures enough to warrant buying them. The only one shown there I am after is PRIDE Arcee (subject to her being better than FE for the purposes of being Odieverse Chromia), and the minicon she's got looks pretty chunky for an arm blade.

On that note, I've read on various sites rumours that

a) The clear parts remain on the voyagers and

b) That while they come with an additional Micron Targetmaster, the AM figures have less paint apps than the Western releases and have stickers applied in lieu of this.

Unsure how to feel about that.

Apparently they don't come with their regular weapons either which could be good or bad.

I didn't plan on buying many not Cyberverse Prime toys but now I'll have to reconsider. I love me some Mini-cons.

Just noticed this for pre-order at HLJ. I'm wondering if these are perhaps the clear ones (like those we saw in the FE Voyager Prime display a while ago) and maybe the ones that come with the "PRIDE's" are non-transparent? Exciting to ponder at any rate.

Well I noticed this from RK (facebook page) , not that I want to order from them or anything, seems the little guys are sold separately if we were to base it from them

Damn those look nice. Is anyone noticing a pattern here? It seems like the Decepticon Microns are all beasts whereas the Autobots Microns are all robots. I like!

Well, the HLJ 20% off sale ends in a few days so I just pre-ordered a "couple" of items.

Helpful tip: HLJ don't charge until your pre-orders are in stock. They also won't ship your stuff until ALL of your pre-orders are in stock UNLESS you ask them to do a partial shipment. Hope this helps.

The initial report was "capsule toy" which I guess is those vending machine things. Maybe some "extras" will be sold that way in addition to one being packed in with deluxe so you can really arm your toys.

Case of 300! Yikes.

[kaiden]

im tempted to buy that case of 300 and just resell to everyone here >_>
