Dengeki Hobby has confirmed that the LG-EX reissue of Blue Big Convoy, officially called "Phantom Blue Color Big Convoy", is set for a Jan 2019 release priced at 8000 yen + tax exclusively via the Takara Tomy Mall. The toy is based on the TV Magazine prize campaign figure from the 1990s but will have changes much like the general reissue, has a slightly different colour scheme, and will come in the LG Series packaging.

You can view images of the new figure after the jump along with an image of the original toy. 

The team behind the Perfect Effect line of third party Transformers products, have posted an update on their blog that contains a teaser image of both Lio Convoy (Beast Wars II) and Big Convoy (Beast Wars Neo).  Does this means that both of these characters will be seeing a 3rd party release?  Most probably. If that happens, then you can expect to see black recolours based on their BWII and BWNeo recoloured figures as well as potentially a Flash and Galva-Leo Convoy version.

I have added some more toy galleries this evening to complete our Botcon 2011 exclusive image galleries as well as bringing you a gallery of a figure that we purchased at the event, Beast Wars Neo Rockbuster.  The image galleries this evening are of Transformers Animated Sideswipe, Transformers Animated Fisitron (Ironfist), Transformers Animated Autotroopers, Shattered Glass Galvatron, Shattered Glass Thundercracker as well as the aforementioned Beast Wars Neo Rockbuster.

We've updated the Beast Wars Neo Bible on Planets with character profiles, techspecs and other listings, all in Japanese, as well as creating the final section of this feature, the Beast Wars Neo Destoron Bible gallery.

Following on from the small preview which was the Beast Wars II bible gallery, you can now find over 60 images in two galleries from the Beast Wars Neo bible. The galleries are split into Cybertorons and Planets, with the Destrons (which we feel is the most interesting) coming later in the week.

The galleries form part of our Transformers Concepts and Prototype area, so have a nose through the other bits which are there whilst you're at it.

We are very excited to bring you an update to our Beast Wars Neo Gold Big Convoy toy image gallery. We now own the toy, the only one we've seen, and you can find images of the figure in all three modes as well as a few close-ups and comparison images.

We are still not 100% sure on the original of the figure? Is it a Lucky Draw toy which has previously not been documented? Is it a Takara staff item, such as the Green Lio Convoy, or something more untoward?

The last few weeks have certainly been busy in the world of Lucky Draw Transformers. First came a few images of Blue Big Convoy and Black Magmatron at TFWorld2005 and Transformers At The Moon. Following this was the re-launch of the Lucky Draw Transformers website, and in the last few days various toy information pages have been added to that site, including some of the first images of a certain Beast Wars Neo Lucky Draw toy.

Now Day366 has listed two more Lucky Draw Transformers auctions on ebay, Blue Big Convoy (here) and Black Magmatron (here). Both toys are extremely limited, and hard to get. This may well be your only chance to own two of the Beast Wars Neo Lucky Draw Transformers toys.

If you're still undecided on these toys, then keep your eyes peeled for some timely new galleries due to hit Lucky Draw Transformers this week (tomorrow if I get the chance).
