Third party company Newage Toys have shared images of the color prototype of their H28G Lucullu (Legends Scale Delta Magnus/Shattered Glass Ultra Magnus) via their Weibo account.
This is a very nice redeco of H27W Conquest (Legends Scale G1 Ultra Magnus) in Diaclone-inspired red and blue deco. The figure is also a homage of Shattered Glass Ultra Magnus thanks to the inclusion of a skull face, remolded shoulder missiles and a new sword. We are sure your optics will be pleased with these promotional images.
we still have no concrete information about price or release date, but stay tuned with TFW2005 for more updates. Now click on the bar to see the mirrored images on this news post and then share your impressions on the 2005 Boards!

Yeah, preordered Delta Magnus' reissue and toy Swoop as soon as they were available because I was afraid of missing them, and now both are on sale…it certainly stings but that's life, sometimes you get the deal and sometimes not. Still better than missing a figure because I sat on my thumbs as it happened in the past.

damn… had my Delta/SG forever from the first run. but still stings when there's a price drop by that much. congrats to all ya late comers snagging such a deal.

Can we hope for whoever was making the SG upgrade kits for Delta to make more since there's been a reissue?
I definitely wouldn't mind getting a second if I could add on those SG bits.
zfarsh
wow, awesome deal…
i just would NOT have been able to wait and see, and grabbed Delta on PO same day, as i had been hoping for this chance for more than a year (and some here longer).
And i love my Delta more than my EX.
Stardiver
Definitely the time to grab one!

Score! That’s a great price. I had been hoping for a reissue so long I didn’t even consider that they might hang in long enough to go on super sale!
Stardiver
ShowZ has Delta on sale for $70 so picked him up. The blue/black deco is real sweet, and it'll give Magnus' joints a rest

Thanks all for recommending a little silver sharpie on the back of the skull face. It definitely helps it stand out moreView attachment 30316141

I don’t think you can count Solus and Magnus, if you’re talking about the Prime title then Solus counts but Magnus doesn’t and if you’re talking about the mold then Magnus counts but not Solus v

Grabbed this one and a couple others from Bombusbee just before CNY and I'm happy I did. He's just loads of fun to play with. And that brings my collection of NewAge Primes up to eight. Nine, if you count Solus.View attachment 30308187

Gotcha! Thats the one thing I’ve seen become an issue across the board so I’ll be super careful!
I grabbed a reissue version from TFSafari so I’ll definitely update once I get it in hand!
Love ToyDojo honestly! Them and TheChosenPrime are my go to for US purchases. I got lucky and snagged a reissue g1 Magnus off TFsafari thankfully but I appreciate you looking out none the less!

Feels like it'd be fairly easy to market it as a Toxitron deco with an green cab and rusty metal oxide red trailer too.
Warpshard
Sorry about that, it always sucks when a deal slips out of your hands.
It is more expensive, but ToyDojo is selling the EX/Toy deco Octavian on their site for about Chinese seller prices if that might interest you.

Dangit I waited too long…
He was in stock and on sale today at Showz and I was JUST about to order him and he’s gone.

If you get regular Magnus I'd appreciate if you could post photos of the side of the cab to check if it's using the mold that allows for the shoulders to butterfly backwards. Last I heard from ShowZ it doesn't.
Mechman42
The chipping was only really bad on the first batch. I’ve had mine for more than a year and handle him pretty regularly and he’s fine. As mentioned above tho don’t open the Matrix chamber from the center; there are ridges at the hinges to push on.
Phase Sixer
Just make sure you don’t open his chest in the center but use the tabs that are on the sides of the chest windows to open it and you’ll be fine.

I think I’m going to bite the bullet and order this guy off Showz with their sale going on. How easy is it to chip the core Magnus and are there any other issues to keep an eye out for? Thanks in advance!

In a way not really surprised. I don't think there was ever an official Nemesis Ultra Magnus deco, and the only one I can think off is the Fansproject one posted above.
But what I consider amazing is that there isn't a deco from the episode The Killing Jar:

I've never seen anyone release this deco, despite it being from the cartoon. And it would give them another deco for Cyclonus as well.
Stardiver
It's really sad, this is an amazing set but the repaint options feel so limited! I'd throw money so hard at this repaint (sword optional but wicked cool).
