E hobby has put up a page for upcoming EZ Collection Chronicle Legends figures. These figures will be released in July and feature previously released Legends figures from both the Reveal The Shield and Revenge Of The Fallen lines. A notable difference is that these figures will come blind-boxed, like gashapon/trading figures. Another notable difference is the inclusion of Thundercracker! The rest feature minor cosmetic differences.
Check them out after the jump!

BBTS just sent me confirmation and charged for the Series 01 Case of 24. People should start receiving shipping notice! Shows instock for 159.99 now. Only 1 in stock.

Just means they probably are not getting anymore in after they fill their orders.
ryan.j
stock status on that is discontinued, possibly they jumped the gun with the listing?
either way, non-safetyorange megatron, thundercracker and jazz who i completely forgot to buy first time around are on the cards.

They announce chase toys when they create the listing, so you buy enough cases to get them. I'm not seeing any mention of that on the listings I've seen. Maybe they'll do that in subsequent cases, and not this one. Micromaster Collection was like that, no chases in the first case.
Here's HLJ's case of 12: Transformers Chronicle EZ Collection: 1 Box (12pcs)

I just had a horrendous thought. The last blind packed series I dealt with from TakTom was the WST, and they had a ton of repaints as chase figures, some of which would be what I'd consider as desirable as the ones they were repainted from, maybe even more in the case of WST Sideswipe. That being said, do you think that they will do something like that with this assortment of Legends?

does anyone know how many of each fig is in the case?

So about $6 a piece at bbts. Wish they sold them by the smaller display case at least.

They're not, they're just on their page as a preorder like every other mass retail TakaraTomy Transformer.
You can get them at HLJ, which doesn't carry e-Hobby Exclusives (there is only one time they had one, and it was after it was released).

Why oh why must they be E-Hobby Exclusives!?

BBTS is selling a Master case of 2 display cases. Hence 24.
G1Prowl
Confused. Everyone is saying 12 per case, yet BBTS says 24 per?

Must. Have. Thundercracker.
Think these may get a US release?

I checked on a couple websites, and it seems like about $60 not including shipping, after shipiing expect about $70 – $80.

I use Spychanger Hoist among the Legends, and movie Legends Smokescreen fits fine with the Classic Legends, unless you really need a Bluestreak repaint.

Well it'll be a trick to get Prowl when he's not in that set. That's Jazz there. And your hope is in vain. When they say these are random, that's a bit of a lie (from what I know). You buy this display case of 12 your going a full set of 8. Plus doubles of the more popular characters. So I'd guess there are 2 BB's, 2 of each kind of Prime and 2 of one of the Megatron's.
And for those wondering about the cost I found them on HLJ for 4600 Yen a display case.

Nothing says "We love screwing you" more then blind boxes. Absolutely rediculous.
Foster
I need a non-orange Megatron, and some of the other decoes look like improvements as well. I can sell off the rest because RTS distribution sucked so hard.
edit: If it's this listing, they can sit and spin at that price:

They've had it up for preorder for weeks. It's a case of 24 according to their site (despite the boxes only being 12 figures).

No way I'm buying a case to get one little repaint.

Will have to see how much BBTS charges for the box.
