    Damn... 7 toys? Looks like everyone on that poster is getting a release then. Sounds like this will be expensive.

    Sad the front page lists Slugfest as Dial, when that's clearly not going to be Dial...

    I like them. Probably won't get them since it won't really fit with my collection, but very cool!

    And stop hating on SG people! At least till I get an official SG Sunstreaker!

    People just want to make sure you're up.

    Man, it sucks that someone is apparently putting a gun to your head and FORCING you to buy these...

    We are thinking that the Japanese fans will actually really dig the concept. And with the Classics Earth (with a couple dozen Classics Autobots and Decepticons surviving as well on the planet) now residing in the Shattered Glass Universe, yeah, it is not going anywhere any time soon - especially when the toy sales are still really doing well...

    We have a very cool story planned for 2013 and 2014 through the TCC Magazine. But it is definitely not like any SG story that has been told before...

    No I'm pissed that the union of E-Hobby and the so called Transformers fan club is being wasted on pushing more of the clubs BS fiction.

    So... Is the club going to be selling these too? We have yet to see what club members are getting out of this collaberation...

    Hopefully this partnership will give Asian fans a chance to get older SG figures/characters, albeit maybe in a slightly altered deco :D 

    Henkei SG Prime in metallic paint for example? :p

    you can scream all you want but as their sales figures show and many people (myself included) think, We LOVE SG and look forward to additional entries.

    Honestly I wasn't that into SG in Year 1, but then they continued it and it's just gotten better. The Junkions were a Slam Dunk and I would hate to live in a world without them.

    I understand and I'm not hating on those of you who like SG. We all like what we like and hate what we hate. There's a place for it (SG) but I feel the SG should at most make up 25% of what the club does, not the bulk of what the Club does. I feel the club should be trying to fill gaps in collectors collections, not pushing some home grown product. Especially after making a union with a foreign company that does just that (fill gaps in collections)!

    I spent $4k with the club last year, $0 this year, and I still have the same disposable income this year.

    That's good you're looking out for the Japanese fans.

    Will these be available to non-Japanese fans as well (those in the US)? I'm positive a bunch of us would buy them if available at non-import prices.

    On the up side, SG doesn't have competition. Hasbro will (probably) never make a mass release SG figure. They may make newer versions of the "gaps". Seekers, Scourge, Kup, Springer, Banzai-Tron (though Botcon Banzai-Tron is soooo much better).

    well seeing as the TFCC sub service and the freebie....7 figures contains ZERO SG I think they're doing OK.

    This is introducing the Japanese market TO Shattered Glass...

    And looking at the FSS Sub, I would say all 6 of those are gap fillers. And BotCon 2013 has nothing to do with SG and there will be some DEFINITE gap fillers in that set. (Guess that is the first BC 2013 hint...)

    YAY! Thanks Pete! (any chance I can squeeze you for information to say whether any of those Gap fillers will be Animated?)
