Shout! Factory sent out an email today to customers that pre-ordered their Transformers: The Japanese Collection box set that it has been delayed and pre-orders will be canceled as a result.

The Japanese Collection includes Transformers Headmasters, Super-God Masterforce, and Victory all in one box set.

"We are sorry to report that we have had a production delay in bringing you The Transformers Japanese Collection box set," Shout! writes in an email.

"We anticipate an 8-10 week wait as we strive to bring you the best-quality product possible. Because of the delay, we will need to cancel the preorders currently in our system."

The original release date was July 5, 2011.
