Woo! Now 9341
I get the feeling that this will get funded, however the Chess set isn't getting funded, it failed to hit its target but then I wasn't really intersted in that and it wasn't getting much attention.
This is hundreds of dollars cheaper somehow. The Chess set never had a chance.
Yeah, there were several of those chess pieces that I would like to own individually as statues. And $20 apiece for those select ones is something I absolutely would pay.
But $600 for a chess set that I would never use as a chess set, and of which I'd only want a handful of pieces? Not a chance.

9399.
The odd thing is, there have been so many appropriately sized non-transforming small figurines over the years, that anyone who decided to MAKE a Transformers Chess set could pretty much do it, without spending much money at all.
9413, slowly rising, closing in. victory Saber must happen.
Wait till the 1st when a lot of folks get paid.
If they only knew they don't have to wait. Hasbro Pulse does not charge the cards till Oct 10th when it moves into production. Anyone can do it now and not need to wait to get paid.
Takara Tomy have announced their upcoming version:

That's a bit misleading. The TakaraTomy release will be the same toy. This is just the TakaraTomy leg of the same crowdfund initiative.
Not really. Even the "regular" Hasbro-boxed TFs are changed somewhat, usually by some extra stickers that replace or omit information on the original boxes. Thus, even though it's a stretch, the final, complete "product" is a slightly different/similar "version", sotospeak.
I said the toy itself will be the same. There might be a package variation, if only just a sticker slapped on the box with extra Japanese text.
I don't know how Unicron was handled in that regard, if they got a different instruction booklet or what.

Embedding the Tweet itself would have been more helpful that just screenshotting it (for those of us who'd want to share the source with others).
"We are planning to inform you"
The prototype is on tour and we've seen full color renders, and they are still doing this silhouette nonsense.

That is very weird and dumb
