    Ah... man am I glad I live in Canada at times like these.

    Sure we haven't seen the TRU BW set yet, and may not get the Skywarp/Magnus set, but it's still worth it.

    For all those worried about an orange cap Xybertoys (www.xybertoys.com) woun't be adding one and if the figure comes packaged as a gun they'll open it and Transform it to robot before shipping.

    They also do free shipping to the UK and US.

    Die-Cast is SWEET. Thank you takaratomy for making him as equal as possible to MP Prime in size and metal. It would have been a real shame to get him with no metal. Prime would still "feel" more MP like just because of the weight, I mean Prime set the MP standard High, SS came a touch below. Megatron should be nothing but equal. The accesories rock! Where are SS's accesories? WHat happened to SS really? I mean compared to Prime and what this Megatron is turning out to be?

    Luckily for UK'ers there's no law against us importing toy guns without orange caps, so it won't really be an issue.

    Heh - I was actually just dredging out old and over-used "satire"... ;-) But, still, I didn't actually know that, so thanks. Guess I actually *will* be importing this lump of die-cast sweetness from Japan, then. (What's that you say? "Mortgage repayments"? No, I don't follow...) ;-)

    I rather have the orange tip than not have him at all. Besides the tip can either be removed or painted over.

    That can be taken care of easily. All you need is some Tamiya grey surface primer and a good color match from Tamiya's Airfcraft paint. I am sure one of these can be used to match the tip of the gun barrel. Here is the link found at Image Anime.
