August 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 AUGUST 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 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.

Just waiting on hlj to ship my sets... Any word on case breakdown yet? They said 8 per box, only 6 needed...

[DELTAprime]

I wish we knew for certain if the Clash of the Transformers stuff was Hasbro version. I would be willing to seek out Optimus if he had extra paint apps (and was cheap enough).

There is no guarantee but you'll feel shafted if you didn't get a complete set with 2 as extras.

Kabaya recently had a similar offering for Optimus Prime, Megatron & Starscream in both cartoon & clear colours. The case of 8 that I received had a complete set + cartoon coloured Megs & clear Starscream to make the 8.

You've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky. Well, do ya, punk.

[ampoldj]

Still no new box pics for UW02 Menasor?

TF Yuki has posted only the front box art but nothing new after that

[DELTAprime]

TAV Fracture has been delayed till next month going by HLJ, and the numbers on the Amazon page (tho I can't read anything else on the site).
