    Default MARCH 2018 Japanese & HK excl toy items

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

    These monthly lists will be archived on the Transformers Checklist (link to come) if you need to refer to these listings later (if anything is found out later, because these monthly lists won't be updated after their month ends).
    Some recent listings for reference...
    February 2018 listing
    January 2018 listing
    December 2107 listing
    November 2017 listing
    October 2017 listing
    September 2017 listing
    August 2017 listing
    July 2017 listing

    Dates and details can change at any time - Approximate yen prices listed are just a rough guide to their retail price in Japan.
    Links were active at the time they were first added and are only there for reference/proof of details - I do NOT endorse or promote any of those businesses.
    (posting corrections or additions are greatly appreciated)

    Early packaging photos of the five "Movie the Best" toys for March have been posted up, showing us the new colour decos and various accessories paired up with these toys.

    These, and the other March toys, should be released in the next 24 hours.

    Um, I hate to make work for you Griff, but... it's July not March, might be time to update the thread.

    May I suggest that you make this a thread for all 2018 TT release dates and replace the thread yearly given Takara's slowing of Transformers product output.

    I kinda need to force myself to do this monthly, to make me update it at least 12 times a year... but the last few months have been busy, and just flown by.


    That said, this one has been updated with all of the March to August items, and the September (onwards) items can be seen in the new topic.
