According the the link in the first post it’s retail is 8000 Yen. Wonder how much the mark up will be from importers though.

Actually is there indication that this is an exclusive to ehobby or Takara Tomy Mall?

 

Thank you Takara!!! So in on this!

 

TT-Mall exclusive, it's mentioned in the source article and the "EX"-tag gives it away too.

 

To be honest I'm gonna say I'll buy it while putting it off due to price. But either way I like that these things exist. It looks really cool. Part of me suddenly wonders if they'll do something with Lio Convoy; outside of an anime accurate version they could do a Galva version but they could also sneak in the minty colored BW Neo deco that's never existed on a toy or a show accurate Flash deco. Goodness the possibilities this is opening up.
(low key still wanna see a Grand Scourge and a proper super base Nemesis Prime. )

 

Very tempting. Big Convoy is one of the best figures in my collection. I’d happily take any excuse to buy the mold again.

 

You don't like the original flash lio? He's one of my favorites!

I would love to see the Galvaconvoy version - obviously change it up a little to make it slightly different than the lucky draw.

 

What about the employee only green lio convoy based off a movie appearancr

 

Very tempting.

 

Gimme gimme gimme gimme!

 

I'll get this over the regular version. So awesome  

 

Is there a link to Takara Tomy Mall yet?

 

I already have the OG version.
If i wanted an expensive blue repaint i\'d go for the Magnus version. :/

 

I don’t need this in anyway, but Big Blue is incredibly alluring, all the same, and almost synestheticly so. I can nearly taste Blue Rasperry candy just by looking at this guy.

And, though the beast mode does looks a little flat in that frost bitten deco, that is one hell of a robot mode.

 

Oh man.. my holy grail is actually getting released by Takara! My day is made!!

 

This looks pretty cool and I'm almost tempted to get it...almost...not gonna, because...ya know...price and all...

Also, I looked at that picture of the toy in Mammoth Mode with the gun sticking out of the front of his head, and I immediately thought of the rumored deleted scene in DOTM, where Megatron was going to shoot one of the elephants in the face (which is why you see him pull his gun out, then put it back without doing anything with it, supposedly), and immediately thought of a different version of that scene where he pulls out his gun and points it at an elephant, and then suddenly the elephant transforms a gun out of it's own head and points it at Megatron.      

 

ooooh, bluuuue.

youknow that don't look half bad, and $70 isnt awful.

 

Oh, so it means characters from Manga can appear as LG-EX... Hoping for LG-EX bludgeon nd blackzarak.

 

Yes!

 

GLORIOUS.

I'm totally getting this. One of the best moulds of the Beast era and deserves even more repaints.

 

Truth be told I own no version of the original OR Robot Masters versions of the mold sadly. I don't find the original Flash Lio the most exciting looking version of the mold though I'd still gladly own it.
With that said it's less a matter of how much I like it and more just the opportunity to make a more accurate one since just like Optimus Primal his toy and cartoon appearance differ.
