Thanks to "sgt__york," we have learned that TakaraTomy's BinalTech BT-22 Convoy has been delayed. It is unknown at this time for the reason of this delay. "Sgt__york" cites the owner of a major pre-order company, and this information has been further confirmed by Japanese e-retailer O-Kawaya (English translation). I was waiting for Convoy & i would like to know the cause of this event.

why should i care?
Hmmm, there could be an issue with the license from Dodge - such rights are usually limited to a set period of time and could have very easily expired...
The main problem, Ive been told, is that disgruntled Japanese Otaku, faced with a shortage of titillation in Akiba, have started to contaminate random boxes with surplus KISS-Players figures (or failing that, any random Lolita-like PVC figure from Akihabara).
One random and heavily disguised Japanese gentleman even threatened to make certain Convoy figures sport "used Minerva's panties", plus include pictures of semi-naked underage Sailor Moon pics as heat-transfers on Convoy's bonnet/hood...
Those crazy Japanese, eh readers?
Thanks for the news!
It looks like it is public knowledge now: http://tformers.com/transformers-binaltech.../9806/news.html
Well thats the same thing i would worry about. But at the same time, if it were QC, then it would be better for them to fix the problem & make us wait, then just ship it out.
Im just glad Arcee is looking so fiiineeee. I want her now more then Convoy. Which was the other way around before. And now that my comic store is getting Transformers, i may even see her at retial. :D
