Just in are new images of TakaraTomy’s upcoming Masterpiece G2 Bumblebee and the leader class Legends Megatron. The battle mask previously exclusive to Amazon will come with this new version of Bumblebee. In addition the figure is painted in gold as an homage to the original G2 figure. Swappable faces are still included. A jetpack is included in lieu of Exosuit Daniel.
Legends Megatron doesn’t seem to be that much different(deco-wise) compared to Hasbro’s Generations Leader Megatron.
Images are from the Planet Iacon Facebook page. Read on to see both images.

I had no idea that happens. Well with Hasbro Asia they probably get it straight from the factories?
ambitron
Yes, and Kapow get theirs from an Asian distributor (hence they got the coins). They had MP-21 and MP-22 in early, too, and had to wait before they could send them out on the official release date.
Bumble – will do!

Hasbro Asia released G2 Bumblebee a week earlier than TakaraTomy.
The Japanese release is slated for the end of this week.

It's kinda weird the overseas guys are receiving the shipments earlier/at the same time as the Japanese sites. I noticed this happened with Star Saber. BBTS was sending him out the same week as Japanese sites were. In the past US stores got MPs like a week after release in Japan in my experience.
I guess their distributor is now getting them early to everyone.

Damn, sure wish the Euro wasn't so weak against the pound at the moment, I've totally switched to Anime Export these days (except for blue Bluestreak). Post up some good photos of the faces when you get a chance!

Nice, according to Kapow, this is shipping out today to everyone who preordered one from them – looks like I'll be getting this earlier than I thought.

They had a bunch of these for sale at TFCon yesterday. $85 CAD which is about $68 US
IamRoller
Yep 100% agreement!
DukeFett
Because it would only be like $30-35 shipped?
Hollywood Hoist
Why would anyone want the knock off when the official is still available?
DukeFett
Yes the mold has been out but they'd release MP-21 KO first and we haven't heard anything about that yet. It took a while for the MP-20 KO to come out.
HnH
just got word from robotkingdom that my g2 bb has been shipped
harrismonkey
In fairness, the mold is already out. So they could probably KO this when ever they feel like. But you wouldn't think the KO's would show up at the exact moment the official was just starting to appear.
Sammael
Dude, MP-21G is not even officially out. There is no KO of it, and it will take at least 3-4 months for the KO to come out. If you want the coin, you have to order from HK sellers or NA sellers. Personally, I see no value whatsoever in coins, but there are people who like them.
IamRoller
I scouted out the gewd stuff on ebay- ^_^
here it is on ebay (Hong Kong)
Can i ask- Would you purchase from HK to get the Exclusive coin?
Juzt asking coz i'm unsure…. i don't want to purchase a KO…
IamRoller
I think i will wait until it'z in-hand in the States with sellers ^__^
