    Hello fellow Transfans!
    Just thought I'd share exciting news about a possible Tokyo Toy Exclusive Legends Black Convoy listing I received from my local toy supplier. Its supposed to retail at ¥5,600 to be avaliable for release at the end of June 2017. Ive included a screenshot of the email sent as proof.. I personally think that its the Titans Return G2 Laser Prime triple changer mould being repurposed as Scourge/RID Black Convoy. Speculate away! Screenshot_20170215-143003.png

    Hahaha.. Takara are too predictable. And oh look..its an Tokyo Toy Show exclusive release. But fret not ..Hasbro Asia will bring a tonne of LG EX Black Convoy supply to Asia etc. So not worried about not getting any.

    Wake me when we get TR Scourge.
    I have no interest in chasing an item that's both exclusive and an import.

    I probably won't be interested; I'm happy enough with the one that came out 2 years ago based on the RTS mold.

    Yeah we all knew this would happen. And while it may make for a good Black Convoy look-wise I think the mold is not worth paying show exclusive prices for. The original Black Convoy toy is still the best one IMO.

    But it's kinda nice getting at least some kind of Legends related news when the line is on what appears to be a complete hiatus thanks to the upcoming movie line right now. Ugh.

    ANOTHER Tokyo Toy show exclusive Black Convoy? They just had one not so long ago. You would think they'd switch it up a little.

    Depending how it looks, I may get it. I do need something to stand with UW Baldigus.

    I think this version would go better with Baldigus. TR G2 Prime is bigger and blockier so he'd match the CW aesthetic.

    RTS Scourge is incredibly nice on his own though.

    I would've liked a black version of Legends Super Ginrai, that would've been a nice homage, instead we get another Rid Scourge, the sword is spot on i guess.

    As unimpressed as I am with the mold in hand, I'd say Fire Guts is the only way I'd buy it again.

    I missed RTS Scourge one way or another. So this, I must have.
