Which (until someone with better Japanese skills gives a better translation) basically translates to....

2013 International Tokyo Toy Show Commemorative Products advance notice.
Masterpiece MP-12T Tigertrack

Autobot warrior "Tigertrack" comes from the Masterpiece series.

Transforms from robot into a Lamborghini Countach LP500S.

A cool-headed hunter, who is good at fighting without being detected by the enemy, and is held in high regard by his commander, Convoy.
Includes gun and missile Launcher, plus black version Pile Drivers.

How to get one.
Due to limited quantities, it will be a reservation lottery.
Obtain reservation/entry on the 17th (Monday) and 18th June (Tuesday), from 10am each day. (not sure why they aren't taking reservations on the first two days of the Toy Show)
Limit one reservation per person. (This is gonna make it hard to get on cheap)
If there are less reservations placed than toys, everyone gets one. If there are more reservations than toys, it comes down to a random lottery.
Winners will then be contacted by the email they provided on the reservation

Toys will then be shipped in late June (I guess since it could end up being a lottery after the event ends, they don't give them out at the event itself).

Price 6,000 yen - Cash on Delivery only
That's about AU$67. (or about US$64)

Yeah, it's been noted on the TFW site that since a number of online stores have pre-orders of significant numbers of units, TakaratTomy may only be selling a portion of the toy at the JP Toy Show.
Which could mean that your pre-orders are safe, if that is the case. But hopefully someone can get confirmation one way or the other soon, before panic buying sets in and the online sources start bumping up their prices.

Not impressed with the recent trend for Seibertron not crediting their news sources...

They posted up what I posted here and on TFW about Tigertrack, including my translation, but didn't credit me at all. (I'm not desperate for it, but it would be polite to credit someone for doing most of the work for the benefit of their own front-paged news item)
I spent over an hour working on that info from the TakaraTomy email and website, and Seibertron just posts it up in a couple minutes of copy-and-pasting.
More amusingly, they just lazily ran the website link through google-translate, which is why the two attached images they posted have a little English on it, but it is very disjointed (and calls the toy Tiger Truck, which I fixed on my translation). I at least too the time to rework the translation into proper, readable English.

If their site wasn't easier to view images on than TFW, I don't think I would keep using it (and crediting it).

Playing devil's advocate perhaps those at the fair will get serialised tiger tracks ha ha ha
