From the Factory


Transformers. Japanese. Collection. That’s all. Three words. Oh, and we can also add that it’s available for preorder again! You can officially order the *Japanese Collection* exclusively through ShoutFactoryStore.com. And the best part? It ships the week of January 2 with the limited-edition lithograph (while supplies last). The 13-DVD box set includes the three Japanese series — Headmasters, Super-God Masterforce and Victory — that North American fans have been clamoring for. It’s really happening. Order yours posthaste.
