Hong Kong store Hobbybase have announced on Facebook that the E-Hobby Exclusive Masterpiece Black Rodimus Convoy, as well as the new variants on Disney Label Mickey Mouse (Original Colors Version and Holiday Version) have been released in Hong Kong. A Japanese release is expected to follow soon, with each of these items arriving in stock with our sponsors soon after.

TRU Roddy has it's fair share of flaws too.

The toy is most important to me, but yeah the comic is a big thing too as the comics tend to be really cool that TakaraTomy puts out.

Don't think it will be over supply this time for this piece but anything can happen

if it's anything to go by just like the over-supply for the MP-Black Convoy a couple years ago, then this release might be the same. skip till i have the funds.

To a lot of collector,comic is not the priority,the figure itself is the main thing why we get the MP figure
PoweredConvoy
True, but the e-Hobby one will come with the comic and the Asian release won't (if history has told us anything). No idea if there is anything in its place.

Yep. That's true. I got the first release MP Rodimus. I wish I would have waited for the US one

I personally love the deco and the fact the trailer comes with it…..it wouldn't be a TT repaint otherwise!
Mine is currently sat waiting for me at my brothers apartment in Taiwan, but he has an encore devy and fingers crossed an MP10 to keep him company!
Down side is the wating to get them…..he isn't going to be back in England until just before Christmas, but thinking of the saved shipping and taxes makes up for it….almost!
Stepper
Yah,no point,the product is the same,might as well get the cheaper version
PoweredConvoy
Probably the Asian version. They've gotten the Asian ones before and most retailers carry that version instead (having to order direct from e-Hobby to get the Japanese one or have someone in Japan get it to them – they end up being more expensive).

Christmas Mickey Mouse? I thought MM only got the Halloween deco as far as hoildays go.
Doh! Nevermind, it's new.

I wanted the black version till i opened my SDCC/MP Rodimus….. MEH in a big way I feel like i overpayed by 10$ for the SDCC version and painting it black for 250….. I would feel like I got robbed.

Hmmm which version does BBTS get?
Stepper
Don't think TRU will issue the MP Megatron V2 version as yet because TakaraTomy has not issue the V2 for Megatron
PoweredConvoy
This is the Asian releasee, so the Japanese one should be shipping probably within the next couple of weeks.
This always happens, the Asian one comes out first and either has some coin or something (perhaps nothing this time) to replace the awesome comic the Japanese e-Hobby one has.
I'll be scanning it, but it won't be coming with these most likely, being the Asian release (I bought the Japanese e-Hobby release).

It's either that or MP Megatron V2.
Chris McFeely
Sooo, if someone can scan the comic it comes with once they get it, that'll just be super-awesome.

Considering they haven't released MP-1B, MP-3G, MP-4S or MP-8X (let alone MP-2 or MP-7), I wouldn't expect it.
