    What is the cheapest retailer to the US to order Megs from? Nippon Yasan doesn't seem as cheap as they used to be.
    Thanks in advance

    Robotkingdom will charge you up the ass for shipping though, so be aware of that if you decide to order from them.

    The main 3P mod I'm really hoping for is some way to replace the Japanese voice recording with good 'ole Frank Welker's audio. He'll always be the real Megatron.

    As far as I know, there will only be a Japanese voice version? This is made by Takara for the Japanese market and we're all importing from there.
    Unless Takara are really nice to us, the only chance of a proper Welker voice chip would be a Hasbro release, and it's questionable if they would ever bother to do that, what with replica gun laws and restrictions etc. Desperately hoping I'm wrong but...
    I think the closest things to this we've seen are the 20th Anniversary MP and the 25th Anniversary G1 Primes, and as far as I know they were both Hasbro products? One used Cullen's voice and one used an impersonator but both were English. This though, is a Japanese release by Takara.

    I guess we'll have to wait and see, I agree that the Japanese VO seems the most likely.

    If it's like anything else from Takara, there will be only one voice.

    Isnt that a rumor? Nothing confirmed as far as I know.

    Something like: I heard from a friend that heard it from a friend that there will be 3 different Voices.

    Maybe its miscommunication regarding 3 different sound options with the switch? Thought that was in the translation

    Except as far as i know it's all coming out of the same place? Takara Tomy Japan? I might believe the "three voices depending on store" if he was being released as Takara, Hasbro Asia and Hasbro US versions... hoping I'm wrong and you're right though. This looks so amazingly like G1 Megs, that gravelly Welker voice would just be the icing on the cake!

    From Amazon Japan it'll cost me roughly 190 euro including shipping, 160 if I'm very lucky with import duties. I usually want to read at least one review before ordering but if I wait more the price will skyrocket...
