Thanks for this! Was able to nab myself the Beast Wars stuff
WishfulThinking
I'm crossing my fingers that Hasbro bucks Botcon and gives us a normal Delta Magnus billed as Shattered Glass UM.
Worst case scenario, the larger robot mode has the skull face and a third party makes a normal head and Magna Convoy is retained as a normal blue Prime repaint.
Ideally, we get two releases with the Siege repaint being Shattered Glass and the Kingdom repaint being a mainline Studio Series '86 Delta Magnus after his lone appearance in the movie trailer.

Up for Preorder in BBTS tho

Has anybody been able to find where one can buy them stateside yet?

Ngl, I am willing to ignore the skull face in favour of having a regular Delta Magnus face.

now i just want more obscure chug beast wars leaders. if we get megaligattor and convobat, galvatron and lio convoy, a slightly more visually apealling magmatron, and big convoy by the time i can afford all those…. so by maybe start of 2024… i will be incredibly happy. that's still about $400 (including kingdom BW) i would be so, so, so happy. in other words, give e-hobby exclusives proper releases in the west. it's terrible UNLESS you can find a way to divinely balance it.

i'd be in for entire sets honestly. they're tiny and miniminalistic enough they could do batches to fill out rosters pretty quick if the audience was there, i reckon.

There are two differences.
SG Ultra Magnus has a skull face.
Delta Magnus has an inner cab robot named Magna Convoy.

Hasbro is releasing SG Magnus. No need to wait on eHobby’s shambling corpse.
Sovietbot
Personally, I expect them in one package.

I would not refuse to buy Japanese logos, which look very good and even better than Western logos (including rebranded ones)!

Really like the Megalligator and Convobat cards, reminds me of those bumper cards they used in Victory, but I don't think I like them enough to go through the hassle of using an import service to get them.
Mistaken Table
No shipping outside Japan…

Selling cards and plastic stand I rather spend my money on non transforming transformer than plastic stand and card good for those who buy them
Black Convoy

There is an eHobby online store that sells all of the TakaraTomy figures.

I remember the good old days when eHobby would have exclusive figures and New Year Special figures like G1 Prediking set. I wonder what happened.
