IRL (Invinsible Robot Laboratories) has been updated with a gallery and review, in Japanese, of e-Hobby Shop exclusive BT-10 Rijie featuring Ford GT Electro Disruptor Version with comparisons to Alternator Mirage and Kiss Players Rodimus.
We've got both Clear Rijie and Alternator Mirage on their way to us at the moment, so expect a full gallery of our own in October.
If you take a look at Fat Guy's blog, you'll see a nice little gallery of the Transformers Movie Metallic Megatron redeco toy.
Although the toy isn't new, as it's out for sale in the US and Hong Kong, Fat Guy's gallery gives you a chance to have a look at the figure if you're torn between buying it or not.
You can see the images here.
Below you will find a new clearer image of the soon to be released TM-SP DX Megatron and TM-SP DX Convoy toys that will be released in Japan. The toys are recolours of the Beast Wars Megatron and Beast Wars Optimus Primal (Convoy) leader moulds. The toys are not the same as the US Beast Wars reborn figures as they use the original scuplts (not the new head molds).
Maz, webmaster of TF-1.com, and fountain of Transformers knowledge, as posted an article on a Generation Two Desert Camouflage Ramjet toy. The toy is the third un-produced Generation Two seeker jet seen in as many months, and would fit really nicely with the Desert Camouflage Runiation from Transformers Universe and the Jungle Attack Starscream toy.
The unreleased Generation 2 desert-camouflage Ramjet mock-up, this one really speaks for itself.
Enjoy!

Toys R Us (US) have announced their "Fabulous 15" list of hot new toys for the 2007 holiday season, report the Reuters news agency and its good news for Transformers fans as a Transformers figure finally makes the list at number 14. Who is this figure? Why Ultimate Bumblebee. Though a little surprising, due to his price tag (though it is considerable lower in the US as almost half the UK retail cost), Bumblebee, from the Transformers Movie, has indeed proven to be a smash hit with kids with all forms of the toy selling well.
Below you will find the complete top 15.
FatGuys's Blog has some nice in and out of packaging pictures of the TakaraTomy Shareholders exclusive toy trucks featuring Transformers Movie images.
Here's what FatGuy had to say:-
These 2 trucks are gifts for TT's shareholders. I like the idea that Takara's characters on Tomy's product line (Transformers on Tomica) and Tomy's (licensed) characters on Takara's product line (Pokemon on Choro-Q). TT shows to its shareholders that Tomy and Takara are really gaining synergy after the merging.
As a collectible itself, this
gift set is also valuable on its own. The packaging is good, and the
paint job is nice. Really worth to get 1 set if you have the chance.
Thanks to Talk Transformers for providing the first image of the Transformers Music Label Convoy toy (in box), showing that the toy has finally been released.
The white IPOD playing Convoy had suffered delays earlier in the year.

Thanks to Snakas for pointing out that the Bearbricks website has been updated with wave two of it's Transformers Movie toys. This time Bumblebee and Barricade get the Bearbrick treatment.
