Thanks to 2005 Boards VikingiGamer for reporting that the new Takara Tomy LG-EX God Ginrai Has been found at TRU in Hong Kong.
VikingiGamer shared a picture from his local Toy R us in Hong Kong with a “tower” of boxes of God Ginrai on display. Plenty of stock for this great release and it is being sold for 1129.90 HK Dollars which is around 150.00 US Dollars.
But there’s more. 2005 Boards member Nevermore let us know that God Ginrai is algo available online in Toy R Us Hong Kong website for the same price. You can find it here.
Happy hunting for all Hong Kong fans. Keep reporring your sightings all over the world at the 2005 Boards!

A Japanese fan realized LG-35 and LG-EX's heal part has been remolded. On LG-EX there is an added little triangular piece. It seems that it will prevent it from wanting to fall backwards. (Top picture LG-35; bottom picture LG-EX)

Anyone know if these or (better yet) Grotusque are hitting mainland China TRU's. I would like to send my buddy over there to TRU to look for Grotusque, but don't really feel like sending him on fruitless runs over and over if he is doing me a favor. Thanks in advance anyone in the know.

About $122 Euro.
And I'm assuming the OP means Chinese Yuan (since his post is in native Chinese sharing about the average wage for folks in China).
So it's about 900 to a bit over thousand or more Euros after conversion.

Cool, but only 1 new page?

I'm not 100% but I don't think you can actually get anything shipped directly from TTMall internationally, not just with Transformers.

It also helps that Bandai has a distributor in BlueFin to do the work to get those toys to American stores like TRU. Hasbro would have to distribute the Legends toys themselves or get someone else to do it for them, and by most accounts it's hard enough for them to get their own product to TRU shelves consistently let alone trying to release TakaraTomy's Exclusives in North America, too.
WishfulThinking
TakaraTomy has a licensing agreement with Hasbro in which they can only sell their toys through Japanese channels. Anything we get from the Legends line would have to be repackaged and sold through Hasbro USA. This is also why TakaraTOMYmall is not open to international consumers, IIRC.
(On a side note, this isn't true with Hasbro ASIA…which is why TRU was able to secure GDO product several years ago.)

It's new:

Very nice.
I got my hands on a Super Ginrai (Magnus Prime) from the BBTS exclusive box set, so now I'm waiting for Hasbro to include God Bomber in an upcoming POTP box set.
Or who knows what name they'll give him… maybe they'll stick with 'Apex Armor' from the Commemorative G1 reissue. Although, they used that as part of/alongside 'PMOP', the update of which is now included in the same line as an update for Super Ginrai (Magnus Prime) so maybe they'll come up with something else to suggest his connection and combination ability with TR 'Magnus Prime', specifically, as opposed to TR 'PMOP'.
Or, of course, I could simply shell out about $80 for the Takara version. I might wait and see what else this imaginary box set will include…
Has anyone heard anything more official about a Hasbro Prime Wars God Bomber/Apex Armor being included in a box set, or just rumors?

Do we have confirmation on if the instructions have a new legends comic, or if they are just repacks of the 2 individual comics/instructions?

I'd buy one if I seen it at the store like that

Resist the urge, resist the urge….
I decided a month ago to complete my LG collection, only missing sprung, lazerbeak and Ravage. I ordered them and will soon have full collection up to number LG53…. I thought of doing the same with the LGEX exclusives… But I don t need the headmasters heads and I don t need the God ginrai as I have regular ginrai and god bomber release….. but it looks so cool…
Resist the urge, resist the urge….

Boy wouldn’t that be nice. Toysrus now has an entire section of Bandai figuarts of so many animes, display stands, statues and other stuff now it’d be great if we could get legends in there too but it will never happen and for just cause. It would compete with Hasbro so it’s understandable. Plus it’s toysrus. It’d be Legends figures from 3 years ago it just be all wheelies and Scourges.

127 Euro? And they earn 9000 Euro a month? I only have a little over a third of that.

一千多元一套的价格对中国大陆的消费来说,就太高了。毕竟大陆这边许多人一个月的收入少于七八千元。

香港同胞的收入高,一千多元一套的价格对他们来说问题不大,但对大陆消费者这边来说,就太高了。毕竟大陆这边许多人不是一个月就有上万元收入。

Would be great if they showed up in the United States.
