    In addition to the 4 new Metacolle figures and the TC-13 Turbo Changer 3-pack listed last week on TTM and Amazon.jp, there were also a couple of new Tomica diecast vehicles found listed for release, in only a week's time - September 15th. (they might have been listed earlier, but I only just noticed them last Friday when the other new items were just listed)
    Previous Tomica Transformers vehicles have been for TFPrime and DOTM, along with two non-Transformers Vehicles with Movie artwork on them (a bus and a truck), and this new pair are TF5 Movie vehicles of Optimus and Bumblebee for about 600yen each.
    Their Tomica Dream numbers are...
    - 148 - TF5 TLK Optimus Prime
    - 151 - TF5 TLK Bumblebee
    The official image below is from TakaraTomyMall, which has them listed separately, and together (probably not as a 2-pack though).

    I have a local dealer here who brings Tomicas, I hope he could get them. I didn't know they had released a Black Convoy. Is it limited?

    What scale are these things, roughly? I've always liked that DotM Bumblebee.

    The black Convoy with trailer?
    It probably was limited or produced in lesser numbers, being a black redeco.
    I'm just not a huge fan of non-screen black redecos, so never bothered to track one down.

    The Tomica cars are close to the size of the Hasbro RPMs/Speedstars.

    I wish some company would make 1:87th Scale versions of the vehicles used in Transformers media, with the same color schemes. Some companies who make that scale have made a few vehicles with the right colors (Wiking 1:87th Scale Rosenbauer Panther RC Fire Truck), but there's just not enough! :lolol

    Tomicas are the same size as Matchbox and Hot Wheels. They are fit to box and are usually 3 inches in length.
