NOVEMBER 2018 Japanese & Asia excl toy items

[griffin]

These are TakaraTomy toys (and maybe some significant licensed items) currently known from official sources, scheduled for release in NOVEMBER 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...

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.

The MP-29+ Shockwave is officially out tomorrow, and the Asian release will have a bonus coin, which can be seen here.

Legends
- LG-EX - Big Powered 3-pack (Dia Atlas, Roadfire, Sonic Bomber) (remould TR Skyshadow, Misfire, Twintwist - AUTO - 1x Voyager, 2x Deluxe) (TakaraTomyMall exclusive) - MARCH (TBC) (15,000yen)

Ok I never got TR Black/Sky Shadow, but I'm pretty sure he's a Leader just like the LG Overlord I did get.

Air Attack Optimus is also now out, and packaging photos show that the toy is in a box that has a window over the entire front.

Ok I never got TR Black/Sky Shadow, but I'm pretty sure he's a Leader just like the LG Overlord I did get.

Where would I be without you here to fix up my mistakes...

The next Generations book was aded on Amazon Japan a few weeks ago (link in first post), for a December 10th release at about 3000yen (about AU$38), and an image of the cover has been found as well, featuring POTP toys and the 35th anniversary logo.

[griffin]

A surprise release for China in early December is the reissue of MP-9 Rodimus Convoy (Prime)... in an updated box that includes the new "Long Life Design award" label.
It's an obscure release, considering how long ago it was released, and that there is a newer Hotrod MP that would be cheaper (and better).

Since this is a China release, it might not show up in western sources... and if it shows up on ebay from a Chinese source it might have people thinking it is a KO.

[griffin]

I though I already mentioned this, but probably missed it...
In China, there has been a special collectors coin done up to commemorate the 30th anniversary of Transformers in China (looks like they didn't get legit TFs toys there until 1988)... and apparently it has now been sent out to people who were eligible (from a purchase some time in late October). Images of this stunning item can be seen here.
