eHobby has posted a picture of the packaging and the file card for its upcoming exclusive Guardian Robot release, which will be a repaint of the upcoming Encore 09 Omega Supreme release by TakaraTomy. The image can be seen on the Guardian Robot pre-order page or by clicking on the image to the left. Guardian Robot is due out on June 16th.

Unfortunately eHobby exclusive is online only. Might you be going there in Fall? Maybe we can meet up there!

Well, it is $10 cheaper for a "C9" box. That's something. And anytime I've ordered a "C9" item from them, the box has been mint to my eyes.
Are e-Hobby exclusives typically available in any brick-and-mortar stores in Japan? If my trip to Tokyo pans out for this Fall, I may try to pick up a Guardian while I'm there.

I ordered 2 thanks to a friend in Japan. So, I didnt have to pay the crazy price of 219. They are all paid for.. and now just waiting on September to roll around.

Well thats true, I can't argue with that, still though a bit pricey, I'm sure I"ll buy at least one but I was wanting multiples.

I can't count this one as a redeco. Guardian Robots did appear in G1. It would be like saying Thundercracker is a redeco of Skywarp. Anyway, with ebay anything is possible. Best wishes!

Man I want one but I don't think I can justify $200 on a redeco Tf, ugh, decisions decisions. I wonder if any Ebay sellers would be selling them for a bit cheaper.
SydneyY
Has anyone translated the bio? (Sorry I haven't been through the whole thread.) If not I'll do it tomorrow sometime.

Believe me, I'd rather have made too much.
Backscatter
At least you got a stimulus check. The U.S. Gov. thinks I'm making too much $. $200 huh? I'll have to wait about 2 weeks before I can order. Oh well.
Foster
I'd rather have this guy than Black "Crumbles" Zarak or his ilk, though. Ordered, and now I'll just pretend my stimulus check was only for $400.

200 fricking bucks?!!
Fort Max
I thought it was quite dull myself, G1 or not.

TFSource now has it for preorder. At same price, though.

Already preordered one, but damnit now I want a second one!
Jarodimus
Guh… not only would $219 be the most I've spent on a single TF, but this is also "just" a redeco of a figure I already own.
But it calls to me so.
*holds onto hope for better price at Captured Prey, TFSource, or A3&U*

It was already at September. The front page is incorrect. I think they may be thinking about the Encore Omega Supreme being released in June.
Predaking
Wow.. if I wasn't married already I would get myself 3 to army build, just like what I did with Marvel Legends BAF Sentinel. Bought 2 off Ebay with the one I built and totally worth it.

Not really looking forward to this one (b'coz i've already pre-ordered one of my grails encore Metroplex) but the box artwork looks great. bluish tones to match the actual toy.

Mercifully, the release date has been pushed to September. That gives me more time.
