Another instance of me wishing TLK "Planet Cybertron" was the diorama and not Cybertron Primus. My collection would look so much more awesome.

The Trypticon & Fortress Maximus display is actually elsewhere in the same mall, in front of escalators leading in the direction of the expo.

Lots of older movie toys on display too, as well as RID and Titans Returns. If anyone would like to see those pics I can easily put them up too.

Blammo! Some dioramas and current toys display.
*more to come later

Anything new on display compared to when it started last month in Tainan, or is everything exactly the same?

So, the Taipei rotation is up for this expo. Ending soon, but I went today and snapped a scud-load of pictures. Here's a mere 18 for now to whet your appetite, and I'll post the rest up tomorrow.
*(Is it really ok to just drop about 100 photos onto the site at once like that?)

That picture of leader class Megatron fighting leader Prime highlights how laughably bad Prime's backpack is. It almost looks like Megatron kicked a semi down a cliff and it's falling apart.

Do we know yet which retailer will have the FOC / TR Optimus 2-pack? I pretty much assume that it\'ll be TRU exclusive, but I\'d like to know for sure.

That big diorama with the TLK figures is AWESOME.

Those last eight pictures (when looking from the front pages news — the last eight I added here) are actually from a TFND Last Knight movie watching event I attended yesterday.
If you've seen BlackLai and Daimchoc's pictures of Nitro Zeus More New TF TLK Figures
they are also from this event
Here are some additional pictures from the TFND hosted movie watching get-together:

*and just to be clear: the expo pics are not mine, nor are the videos. I'm a white guy.

I wish they'd done a voyager of the unused Springer design instead. That was fantastic. This always struck me as kind of ridiculous.

I'd love to have that giant Grimlock busting out of the ground display.

Sounds like they MIGHT change the Clones packaging after all.
