    If you're lucky, you'll get the 2nd batch (batch code starts with 72). It has fewer issues than the first one.

    Did you order the Hasbro or Takara version?

    Apparently its the Hasbro version. It doesn't say in the description but the box art on the pictures shown aren't in Japanese.

    I guess I'll find out in a couple of days.

    OK. It's gonna be hit or miss I'm afraid. The robot mode is usually flawless but there's significant issues with the truck mode not tabbing together well. The Takara version was much better off on that matter. If you're primarily getting him for robot mode you'll be fine, just be aware that the truck mode will probably be flawed.

    Yeah I guess I'll display it in robot mode then, thanks for the heads up!

    Yes sir. Except I'm farther out in Ventura County. I never bought from them online so I can't speak for that aspect but they'll do in a pinch.

    Right here man. All of those are preordered. Minus Hound and Prime of course.

    Has there been any predictability to the official photos' releases? Also is anyone else counting the minutes to the new Figure King? If it doesn't have new photos I'll be genuinely stunned.

    That's a pretty good start for only a few months!

    Unfortunately I haven't added anything since FT Rouge. But my Cordon and Golden Lagoon Convoy are paid for, thrilled to be getting a Toy accurate Megatron and Shockwave, plus Hound. Happy to be getting a Toon accurate Prowl too, and a new Optimus as well. I wish I could get BW Megatron, but I can't afford BW MP's right now.

    I'll probably have to kick my Jetfire collection out of the lower right next spring, or finally move and get proper cases. Sorry about the crap pic, I have a massive headache from the heat exhaustion that I nearly gave myself at work today and I'm too busy rehydrating to fuss with my iPhone.

    Non-super cars are the best in my opinion. I am going to go nuts when I get Trailbreaker and Hoist. Brawn and Gears would make me pretty frothy too.

    I'll oblige this weekend. :) 

    MP-10 is gone, and Delta Magnus is standing in as commander with the Season 1 crew (which is also sans Wheeljack and Prowl, pending their replacements) until V3 arrives. It's nice to have new MPs to look forward to, even if they are repaints/remakes. :) 

    I'm also going to have to buy a new set of shelves for my MP BW crew!

    IMO, the original Streak deco is the most impressive car mode deco (yes, I am including the lambos).

    I like it too. But I’m fully in support of a streak + :)
