Arms Micron Campaign Toys at Japan's New Generation Hobby Fair

Takara-Tomy have added a page to their website for the next Japanese Hobby event coming up later this month, the New Generation Hobby Fair 2012 over 30 June - 1 July 2012. There's a whole bunch of great exclusive items on the cards for this event, but getting a couple of them might be tricky!

Two of the exclusive Arms Microns are "Shining" versions of Optimus Prime's O.P. and Bumblebee's B.2. These are the ones that are going to be hard to get since they are only available to kids who take Takara-Tomy's special "Arms Up Challenges".

Shining B.2. is available to kids who take part in the first challenge, which is to build B.2. from the kit. Shining O.P. is available to kids who take part in the second of the two challenges, which is to create their own "Arms Up" form for Optimus Prime. They can also get a Shining B.2. by taking part in this event.

Available to all attending the event ahead of their mass retail release are the first three of the Arms Micron Weapon series, Gabu, Baru (misspelled as Bogu on the page) and Dai. The three turn into individual weapons or combine into a larger sword weapon. Those who purchase all three can also claim Firebolt Yellow Clear version at the Transformers booth, Firebolt Yellow Clear version is a recolored version of Pinpoint from Power Core Combiners Leadfoot.
