Our own TRANSJAZZ reports in telling us that ToyHobby & Ganbo Store notified customers via email that their exclusive Henkei Dirge and Thrust toys are going to be released in April.
There was no reason given for the delay, but keep checking TFW2005 for any updates for the release of these figures!

and why did you revive this?
Mr.Roboto
I just got my set today from Bodhar. They look pretty badass.

megatronkicksas
*sigh* Well that sucks.

I got a mail last night, says that Gentei Dirge had shipped. probably I can grab him today or so.

Well I never heard that (for as little as that means ). But when you consdier the co-production that Transformers has always been. Who knows who actually awards the manufacturing contracts.

It's fairly well known that toy companies don't actually own the factories in which their toys are made.
Was it not said somewhere that Takara are in charge of picking which factories Hasbro's Transformers production is sub-contracted out to? Even if that's not the case, i still believe it's a case of production of more widely available transformers being prioritized over more limited ones.

Here's hoping the delay is due to mold repair. I don't want side arm missiles that fall out.
Chaosbringer
bummer 😐
keebs
At least they're not made by Justitoys. It could be 2011 before we see them
Johnator
Eh it is almost the end of March right now anyway. I can wait another week or two.
frilly toothpick
same here.

I wouldn't mind the delay so much if MP Grimlock wasn't bundled with the same order
lars573
Nope. The factories in China are sub-contractors hired to produce a certain toy line.
Railguard
Huh, doesn't matter to me, I have no money to get anything anyway.

Hmm…a little annoying, but if it's only a few weeks than I'm not too worried about it. I was hoping they'd come together with MP Grimlock (I preordered them at the same time) but oh well. As long as I get them, I'll be happy.
Tekkaman Blade
Good, I could use a short break. I'm been terrified all my late pre orders would come in at once. If they came in when their supposed to this wouldn't be a problem.
DigitalDreamer
yea not really a big deal, it gives us more time.
guarddog8471
Seconded. What's another week or two after waiting this long. No problem on my end at all.
