To top things off from the possible new Takara TOMY reveals coming on October 6, 2023, we have two more additions to the Studio Series Japan series. Coming soon are the SS-121 Terrorcon Novakane Core class and SS-122 Beast Awakening (Rise Of The Beasts) Optimus Prime Voyager (102BB mold) figures. The news of the SS-122 should be somewhat of a relief for fans looking to get the 102BB figure mold. - Read the Full News Story

I'll get Novakane at some point.

This Optimus though, Hasbro can go fuck themselves with it though. Right after Target fucks themself with it first.

I was one of the first to put down a preorder and they cancelled it. Thanks Target. As soon as it was cancelled a few days ago, I put money down on one of those KOs featured yesterday. The BW-TW-1030. I was so mad I didn't really notice that there were other options. It seems I got the right one though as it's not a 1:1 KO and has different shoulders as well as a different leg transformation or something. Like maybe it has the DNA kit already installed on it. And I think it comes with the DotM Trailer that's modified to work with it or something like that.

I even told whoever reads the Pulse Facebook messages that I'll be purchasing a knockoff of it since they can't seem to get it to people who actually want it. Well, I guess it was more Target's fault than theirs but you get what I'm saying.

I should've known better though with that Target preorder. If I remember correctly, I was in time to preorder it on Pulse but since I already had the Target preorder in, I didn't. Stupid me I guess. Works out though since I'll be getting a better version for at least the same price more or less. And I'll be getting Show Z Store points on top of it.
