If anyone over in Japan is willing to help me procure 2 sets (one for my son and one for myself), you can keep the 2nd magazine and I'll pay for the shipping. :-D

Magazine has/was released last November 2015. Not sure of the deadline for the coupon though. Hlj's already sold out.

Thanks for the heads up.

In other toy news, and still thanks to site sponsor TFSource, we have an update to the Transformers Adventure line from Takara Tomy, bringing to the Japanese market some of the recently released Robots in Disguise molds we've seen elsewhere in the world. From Fracture and Megatronus, to the armor and battle packs, via Overload, Quillfire and Crazybolt - ending up at TAV-50 Hyper Surge Optimus Prime, what looks like a Thunderclash-esque deco on a potentially new mold for the Autobot mentor and leader. Check it out below, and let us know what you think!

As if Prime's death and rebirth wasn't biblical enough, now he's an angel. :lol:

Truck mode looks like an afterthought, but I like it, I think I'll try to get one.

Looks like they've finally fixed his long leg issues. Looking great there!

Just noticed that the thing sitting on the ground is also folded up on his chest in bot mode. Some sort of Minicon?

And is it just me or is he wearing a blue Tarn mask? :???:

In vehicle mode the amount of details and everything let me guess that he's at best a Deluxe/Warrior class figure, but I don't get the price point of $75,99. :HEADHURTS:

Maybe he ripped off Tarn's face and wears it as a mask now. :twisted:

Yeah, that thing looks like a chest Mini-Con or something like that (like on Liokaiser's members in bot mode) but the one sitting on the ground has a different color.

Looks like that minicon might be some kind of bird. attached to Prime's chest, you can see it has some little talon/feet. I'd be willing to bet those clear wings can come off Prime and attach to the mini-fal-con.

That Optimus' engineering looks like some hybrid of the big honkin' Beast Hunters OP and the Gen/GDO Cyber Commander OP from last year. Can't say it appears to be a re-tool of either, but reminiscent of them at least.

Not really, this one doesnt have a functional trailer. So its not a fix, just a new version of the same design as the deluxe mold. Speaking of that deluxe, both that toy adn the legion have a better truck mode than this one :SICK:

Thats not the real price of the toy, you shouldnt judge it by that. Thats just the price americans have to pay if they want to buy from TF Source and not ship him from japan. It has nothing to do with the worth of the toy or how much it cost to make.

The real price is probably the same as any leader figure, so 50$. Has as much if not more detail than the leader seekers, so it sounds fair.

does anybody else sense a Nova Prime repaint/custom coming out of this new Optimus?

Nope. Similar, but not them (I looked, thought the same at first)
