Fan to Fan have some images of the G1 coloured Music Label convoy toy. These may well be the same as the photoshopped images which ages3andup reported to TFWorld2005

TFWorld 2005 are running the following news story regarding a re-coloured version of the Music Label Convoy figure in Generation One colours.

.. agesthreeandup has received a solicitation from Takara for a Music Label iPod Docking Station Convoy in Generation 1 colours. The mold will retain the modifications made to the mold for the white release, including the new head, and the trailer will be designed in grey with the traditional stripe down the side. This figure is due for release in March of 2008 and is retailed at 15000 yen

TFWorld2005 member Ages3AndUp has posted a thread stating that the Transformers Classics line will be released in Japan.

It looks like Japan is offering it customers the Classics line. It will consist of 4 figures at first, Optimus, Megatron, Starscream and Bumblebee. They will be priced at Japanese prices like $35 for Voyager size and $25 for Deluxe but for those who missed these figures, that seems like a small price to pay for them to be available again.

They will just have the C designation.
C-01 - Optimus (Convoy)
C-02 - Megatron
C-03 - Bumblebee (Bumble)
C-04 - Starscream

Thanks to Neurie for sending us word on some of the contents of the next Woolworths "Big Red Book"

They also will be stocking the Darth Vader Death star toy and some exclusive starwars figures (non transformer)."

UK online dealer, Toyz and Gamez, has reported to TFW2005 that the recoloured Transformers Movie Barricade toy known as Recon Barricade will only be available within the UK via one retail store. Toyz And Gamez does not mention the name of the store, though we expect it to be announced as The Entertainer, as Argos will not be stocking much in the way of new products for a little while, Woolworths, in many towns, have already dropped the Transformers line and Toys R Us is shelf warming happily at the moment, with limited distributions of the just released Longarm and Final Battle Jazz. Toyz and Gamez does go on to say that the next wave of toys will include Dropkick and Payload

Seibertron.com are running a news story confirming that Skylynx will be the 2007 New Year Transformers release by Takara. They credit Snakas for the news, although no links to where Snakas mentions this are given. They do however state later in the same story that no confirmed date is set for Sky Lynx?

So will the toy get a release at the end of the year? Will e-Hobby run their regular New Year exclusive toy, and if so would it be a re-coloured Sky Lynx? For the moment only time will tell.
