    Ok guys. The 2018 Tokyo Show has its official dates up. Info is in English.

    東京おもちゃショー2018 INTERNATIONAL TOKYO TOY SHOW

    Info in Japanese:

    東京おもちゃショー2018 INTERNATIONAL TOKYO TOY SHOW

    Buyers dates will be June 7th and 8th Thu and Friday
    Both days 10am-5pm Japan time

    Public Days June 9th and 10th Sat and Sun

    Takara-Tomy will have their booth at Section 4-1. I’ll be making sure to show up to this at least an hour or two before.

    I’m an hour away from the event. I’ll help out the peeps I’ve spoken to before.

    Anyone else going to this event? Figured I can start a thread on this for the community and help kickoff the potential festivities. Cheers to all.

    Fingers crossed we get a sudden MP exclusive announcement for TTS, but I'm not going to hold my breath on that either.

    I don’t know what to expect. I just hope it’s better than what Takara-Tomy featured at the wonder festival event. Got a couple of nice event only items, but just didn’t feel that worthwhile.

    No way will I get my hopes up for anything. At this point I’m just sitting by patiently waiting for Deepcover, Spin-Out (red Sunstreaker), and a new character Black Ironhide.

    If TT has a panel, please live-stream it on Instagram, Facebook, Periscope or some such app!

    I would sure love to ask them some serious questions about how it appears they have died as an independent company capable of making it's own decisions.

    I bet phrasing the question along those lines will lead to thoughtful responses ;)

    If @Black Convoy or @Superquad7 or anyone else can recommend a Facebook fan site for me to livestream I can try to do that. Can you guys or someone else recommend a livestream for a page? also I’m going to use my iPhone X. Not sure if simply adding picture updates might be enough. Any board members that can offer me advice please let me know.

    Fb live can go just from your profile and app, well if you have a FB account. In any case, we would love to have a great bunch of pictures.

    Neat. I went to the show in 2016 mostly to grab MP Loudpedal (along with the Takara LG-EX Beast Wars Rhinox and Rattrap figures) but skipped out on the show last year (I eventually got an LG-EX Nemesis Prime from TT Mall anyway). Wonder what this year's special figure will be.
