Encore God Fire Convoy - Retracted Recall Rumors of Retro Robot Reissue

Chinese Facebook group Tfcn posted a message earlier today stating that Car Robots Encore God Fire Convoy - the God Magnus/Fire Convoy two pack (AKA Robots In Disguise 2001's Ultra Magnus and Optimus Prime, forming Omega Prime) - would be recalled due to QC issues. Later in the day, however, they responded to the original post saying that they had been incorrect and no recall would occur. Keep reading to see both messages in the original Chinese as well as (mechanically translated) English.

We had observed isolated issues of breakage and other concerns on Twitter previously, and were predisposed towards believing this story at first. However, most Japanese collectors who have posted to social media about the reissue set seem to be having a positive experience.

If you have any concerns when ordering a set this expensive, we strongly recommend ordering from a retailer with a dependable return policy. Not a set to be pressing your luck on TaoBao with.

The God Fire Convoy set sports the Super God Sword which was previously only available as either a contest prize or in a previous God Fire Convoy giftset. It's based off of the G1 Master Sword for Fortress Maximus. The set also does away with the vac-metal of the original figures.
