After recently moving, and having no internet line - both of which have drammatically affected our work on the site (2 months of work on Steve's house) we should finally be getting the Internet back in around 2 to 3 weeks time.

The good news is that with the extra space we've got easier access to the toys, so hopefully we can get back to filling up the blanks in our toy gallery section.

Planet Iacon have published an image gallery of the second Bathing Ape (BAPE) exclsive Convoy figure.  This fgure is a recolour of the re-issue of Optimus Prime / Convoy but painted in an urban camouflage colour scheme.

Snakas Blog is reporting some fantasic news for us, Beast Wars Neo has been confirmed for a DVD release in Japan, set for September 26th 2012

We purchased the very expensive, 100% Japanese, Beast Wars II Series (from which we have been producing image galleries from the episodes), so finally getting hold of more than 9 episodes of Beast Wars Neo is fantastic.

To celebrate I promise to get more Beast Wars II Galleries online this week - we've just been tied up with moving.

A new Kabaya model kit for Fortress Maximus has been revealed on Rakuten. It seems to be three sets with additional toys in each one.

CM's Corporation have updated their blog with three images of their upcoming Summer Wonderfest exclusive Minerva Nightbeat figure.  The toy is a recolour of their officially licensed Minelba figure but it is the other images which are causing the most amount of discussion around the fan community because it is an alternatve head for their Ginrai figure that turns him into Hi-Q!  Yes the Powermaster figure from the Western release of Powermaster Optimus Prime. The blog post points out that, at the Summer Wonderfest, all you will get is the head of Hi-Q with the Minerva Nightbeat type figure, Ginrai's body is sold separately.

Update:

Pete has posted a response on behalf of Botcon over on TFW2005.com

I am afraid that details will not be provided. There are SO many 3rd party items, no one is going to provide a list of what is acceptable "unlicensed" toys.
