JULY 2015 Japanese & HK excl toy items

[griffin]

(sorry, a bit late this month due to being busy with my BotCon reporting)

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

These monthly lists are archived on the Transformers Checklist here if you need to refer to a completed, more-accurate list 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.
(posting corrections or additions are greatly appreciated - I will try to update as often as I can)

[MayzaPrime]

Bring on all of that Takara goodness

[ampoldj]

July is a little bit quiet but really excited for the next 3months after that for UW Menasor and new MPs

[Megatran]

Adventure
- TAV21 - Optimus Prime (new mould & electronic - it is not one of Hasbro's RID toys) (July 25th - 7,000yen)

Anyone know where I can get one for reasonable price?
RK has it but too expensive for my wallet (US$54 + killer shipping).
HLJ has sold out.

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

Correction: It's JULY.
EDIT: Never mind. I must be going mad cos it's showing July.

I spotted it and fixed it already.

Pre-orders for TAV21 on the ground here in HK are around the US$48 mark.
I'm tempted to get one, especially since I am enjoying Mega Optimus so much and i'm hoping they're a similar size.

[DELTAprime]

Hey Griff, you forgot to sticky this months thread.

Anyway, this month looks lite for me, just the two Warrior TAV figures and the QT figures. Next month is looking bad for my wallet tho with Menasor, QT and TAV figures.

[griffin]

Thanks. Fixed...

[griffin]

Adventure/RID Warrior Jazz images, with the Japanese exclusive Optimus, which both come out in 9 days time.

[Megatran]

Why is there a tendency to have the releases on the same day. This month it's 25th July. Last month was a big month of releases & it took JP online retailers a while to ship 'em out.
