I was working on a blog for BaD and then my brother showed me this:

 http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/attachments/transformers-news-rumors/27417829d1391913835-megadrive-megatron-1559615_634539939945283_1155823315_n.jpg

My first thought was holy schnikes, is that Megatron?! As a Sega Megadrive console?! I thought it was a fanmade custom figure but no, it's from TakaraTomy, a major toy company in Japan, that also specializes in making Transformers toys. It could mean Sega has a partnership with TakaraTomy, but it's only for Japan at the moment. It'll be cool if it come over here, heck they even have a prototype for Optimus Prime which looks really awesome. It would be cool to have Megadrive Megatron and SNES Optimus Prime.

On an unrelated note, my Collectors Edition of Bravely Default arrivedc via UPS today and it looks really nice. Also both editions of the game are apparently hard to find in stores, not sure about amazon though. Here are some pics of it:

Front of the huge box:

What's inside:

Book is hidden in a secret compartment:

Bravely Default sticker

Find it funny it has a Also plays on 2DS sticker:

Bravely Default back

It also has a special sticker on the back of the box, and it says bundle. This might be common for the collectors version.

Well with that out of the way, back to the main point of the blog, so any thoughts on these TF toys? I think they look really cool. Thanks for reading and later.

I got the Bravely Default Collector's Edition, too!  Can't believe I missed the artbook. It really is in a secret compartment!  Have you played the game yet?

Nice, I may get BD but I don't know at the mo.

I'm thinking of Building an Okami collection, I have the Artworks Book and Wii Version with a Limited Cover.

I want a MegaDron. It would be my first ever Sega console. 

As for BD, I'll never play it, but that package has sexy stuff in it.

A Mega Drive Megatron? That's such a strange yet amazing idea.

I picked up the collector's edition as well, hopefully being a little scarce is a good indicator of it's success.
