    Refresh my memory... If the release date is 4-1, does that mean BBTS & TCP will get him in stock around 4-15? (Give or take a few days?)

    Just trying to estimate when we might have him in hand...

    I have a PO with NY, and am waiting for them to revise their ETA. With the different sound features (not sure if confirmed), that could be a factor. BBTS has gotten their shipments early, and then start processing orders as soon as the release date hits in Japan.

    I get what you're talking about, except hope would be more fitting for Jazz.

    For a line that has been going since 2003 there have only be two changes in focus that entire time (MP10 scale and cartoon accuracy). That's a surprisingly low number for a company.

    Even the box art has remained consistent.

    Psh, consistent packaging! I knew the line was doomed the moment they made Tracks's box a few millimetres thicker than the other carbots to accommodate his flight stand.

    Darn the Yen has rallied from 115 to 112.69. In two weeks it could be down quite a bit.

    My eyes might lie (I need glasses :I) but I'm starting to think Megatron manages to look both matte and metallic at the same time.

    It honestly looks kind of pearlescent to me in that new video... I honestly can't imagine they'd paint this whole thing and not do something more than just regular matte or gloss finish. Hopefully in-hand impressions will confirm soon.

    So I guess packed in robot mode confirmed? We all assumed/expected/hoped but did we know it until now?

    Expected, but phew all the same.

    Same! I had to use Motormaster as Prime's main nemesis instead. Ironically my mom is the one who now paid for MP-36 (pretty rare for family to buy me Transformers these days!) as an early birthday present :thumb
