RUMOR: Next Takara BWR set

Post by Nevermore »

http://www.tformers.com/article.php?sid=5506

Several things to consider:

- No source is stated
- Magnaboss was from BW II, not BW Neo
- RIDICULOUS price point
- Conflicts with information I got from F2F (which was "No new TF toys from Takara between April and July")

So please, take some. You might need it.

Well if you think about it, it's not really a new toy is it? Course Takara is rather cryptic.
The bunnies, they give me knowledge it is neat.

Looks like salt is out.

Rakuten appears to confirm Magnaboss.:confused:

Thanks to Autobase Aichi for the heads-up.

this is weird.
i's he such an important character in the series?
they must give a lot of extra's with that price, maybe a real golden disc. you'd expect tripLedacus as the new reissue.

Bizzare choice.. a two-pack of Lioconvoy and Galvatron would make infintiately more sense for a BWII homage than Magnaboss. Also would much more justify the price.

Though I haven't got a handle on how Tomy/Takara thinks, this one's still just too bizzare for me. I'm going to wait for official word before I take this one at face value. :S

i hoped (and maybe expected) that set, maybe one of big convoy and magmatron after that, it would be much nicer. especially since i just bought magnaboss and don't have either lio convoy or galvatron.

IF this is true, then maybe he comes with Tripledacus to justify the pricepoint?

and even though Lio Junior is somewhat related to theConvoys, I also think that Lio Convoy vs Galvatron would make more sence

Okay, I got a mail from Fan to Fan.
Got a reply from Takara, there are no plans to release anything on TF in May. The second Beast Wars reissue was planned to be in July, although no details on it is confirmed at this time. So it is still consistent with what he told me earlier... whew! :)
Oh, and anyone who doubts me feel free to mail Fan to Fan and ask them to verify that they told me this.

No need. This rumor was far too random, and too out of left field. Even if there's a little truth to it /somehow/, it's pretty clear that this was out of someone's arse. :S

Confirmed cancelled/postponed by the Bo-Ya Rakuten Shop, the only online store ever listing the toy for preorder. MAN, is THAT a huge surprise. :rolleyes:

It's too bad Takara is not polling the fans on what they'd like the next BW reissue to be. I don't want it to end with Primal/Meg two pack. There are others like Scorponok, Terrasaur, and other show characters I want to see released.
