    I'm not sure about the silver piece, but the hand cover looks like it can attach to Defensors back after the ladder assembly is removed. If it does, it should give him a more streamlined appearance

    In Japan, “警視庁” refers to the police department in Tokyo (Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department), while “警察” refers to police departments outside of Tokyo.
    Yet all Japanese police cars feature red emergency lights only.

    Ya, that's what I understand.

    But I also found a photo of Osaka police car from 2014 with "府警". Prefecture Police?

    The word 府 actually stands for a kind of Administrative Region in Japan of which there are 4, the so called 都(to)道(dou)府(fu)県(ken).
    There's one 都 (short for 首都) : Tokyo, one 道 : Hokkai-dou, two 府 (Osaka and Kyoto) and the rest are 県 numbering around 40 plus.

    Hotspot is up for pre-order now on Robotoybase listed at $130 + shipping for November.

    Now, granted, some say they can be a bit optimistic with announcements

    Well, I must say that most of the time, he has been quite right about the price. I'm curious what ShowZ will price him at.

    "GT-08E Foo Fighter is part of the Guardian combiner by Generation Toy and is able to transform from a fire engine to robot to limb modes, without detaching any parts. Pricing is to come, and listing will be enabled once finalized."

    So it can still change, which is to be expected.

    I don't even both to preorder any GT products.

    It will at least keep the same price or a lower price for quite some time before the price goes up, if it ever happens.

    I think that's the only projects they have on the horizon.

    Maybe next convention they'll drop some hints, provided they are continuing.

    If you use Google pingyin, you can switch between simplified chinese or traditional chinese, I think a lot other input also support that.

    Wow, it's really cheap at ShowZ. I love the guys and gals and TCP, but I don't love them enough to pay $37 more.
