TakaraTomy has revealed a new April campaign featuring Transformers Arms Micron Burn and Arms Micron Rain. These exclusive figures, as usual, are part of a gift campaign available when 3,000 yen or more of Transformers Adventure product is purchased at selected outlets. Because this is a Takara campaign, most will need to find these Arm Microns on the aftermarket.

Signed. Assuming Takara doesn't do it themselves, I want to track down some of the beast Microns to go with the Liokaiser team as ersatz Breastforce. Assuming I can realistically grab Hades, there's a match for everyone except Lionbreast, and I was just going to repaint the Rescue Bots lion for that.

Thanks for the tip. Nice prices on Mandarake for some of the older ones, I'll probably pick them up. Hopefully the shipping isn't too painful.

Here's this if it matters.

It varies. I've found that waiting out eBay for sets of campaign releases means a seller in Singapore or somewhere in SE Asia will usually list them for relatively cheap (roughly $10-15 per). Much cheaper than what BBTS has initially listed stuff for. In the past it's been worth it if you don't mind waiting.
That said, that never really happened with the last few campaign releases, the Adventure EZs (clear Optimus/Grimlock/Sideswipe & TRU Optimus). Each of those I had to go after individually, with a couple coming from Mandarake.
Campaign releases are periodically listed for cheap on Mandarake (800-1200 yen or so), and now that Mandarake doesn't charge the 500 yen handling fee for orders under 5000 yen, it's a lost easier to make smaller orders.

I've been eyeballing the the microns from the last promotion lately, cool to be around for an ongoing one.
Whats the best way for US buyers to get in on this? Straight up second-hand from BBTS and the like…? The clear plastic calls.

Neat.

You saying that now makes me sad AM Soundwave wasn't retooled a little further to allow Hades to plug in to Soundwave somehow. It'd probably be ludicrous since Hades is practically as big as Soundwave, but a giant-ass Ratbat-decoed Hades slapped onto Soundwave sounds fun.

Biig miss on Takara's part with hades. They could have done him in Ratbat's colors and sold him as a Prime Ratbat. Odd when working with Soundwave but it'd be another of his cassettes.

Oh so there's two of them huh?
I wonder if they could do another pair for May that are Ground and Air. I'm not even trying to be facetious there either.
Yes! Especially Ulma and Bido, who haven't had any reuses whatsoever.
(Gra technically had Shining Gra B, a clear light blue exclusive, during the Arms Micron run.)
This also occurred to me recently – Takara hasn't reused the Minicon Assault Team from Generations for anything either. We got the darker TG retail release, and that's it.

i wish they'd do some microns that haven't had single releases yet, like ulma, bogu, hades, gra, bido, and matrix
