More great news from e-hobby Japan

The 2003 New Year Specials have been confirmed. They are more Countach repaints, known as #91 Clampdown and #92 Deep Cover. They take the form of Super Car Police Car and Black Super Car respectively.

Orders are possible until January 10th and they will ship end of March (New Year???)

P.S. For those of you who may have read about re-re-issues of some of the Decepticon planes and the Autobot car collection editions – These were very limited returns which appeared to sell out in minutes after being posted on the site.

e-Hobby also has details of the second edition of My Clone figures available from March:

Bumblebee, Grimlock, Rodimus, Galvatron, Wreck-Gar and SoundWave, as well as 2 secret figures

E-Hobby Japan, home of exclusives and pre-orders galore has included the following items on their Transformers pages:

1. Transformers Collection Number 00 – Convoy – Including Energy Axe and Binder for the other collection item inserts
2. Transformers Collection Number 07 – Rumble
3. Mega SCF 08 – Convoy Super Mode (with Prime/Sparkplug Mini-con) (Armada)
4. Mega SCF 09 – Megatron (with Barrel/Leader-1 Mini-con) (Armada)
5. Mega SCF 10! – Ironhide/Demolisher (with Search/Blackout Mini-con) (Armada)
6. Mega SCF 11! – Hot Rod/Hot Shot (with Jolt Mini-con)(Armada)
7. SCF Act 9 – Armada (Ratchet/Red Alert, Hot Rod/Hot Shot, Convoy, Megatron, Starscream, Ironhide/Demolisher)
8. SCF Act 10! – Armada (Super Convoy, Sandstorm/Cyclonus, Grap/Smokescreen, Sideways, Scavenger, Perceptor – Street Action Minicon Team in combination figure mode)

Lots to save up for.

Act 9 and Act 10 are being called SCF My Clone part 1 and part 2…associating them with the Kubrick style figures, but they certainly seem to be following the standard figure pattern. Each set comes with 14 figures, 6 coloured, 6 Pewter and 2 rare… Act 9 is due in December, Act 10 in March

Mega SCF – Convoy and Megatron are due in January, Ironhide in February and Hot Rod in March.

Following yesterday’s release of Starscream Mega SCF, Takara have included images of the figure on their website. They have also highlighted the Tracks Collection figure and have added small reports on both the Manga comic anthology and the Tokyo Game Show from September.
