    I'm massively tempted by AmiAmi, but it'd probably be less hassle and cost about the same in the long run to buy from Kapow.

    I won't bother repling to any of your statements. because you seemed to have laid out a carefully guided trap of words.

    trying to twist people's words around & making them look like the bad guys in threads is not very clever.

    i will wait for a bit, and read the reviews and watch the review videos, and maybe wait for it to go on sale.

    Oy, isn't this a thread about where you'd order MP-09 from, not why or why not you will buy?

    My order will be fplaced with the cheapest seller possible; only way I could possible justify spending that kind of money on a TF.
    So AmiAmi looks tempting right now :)

    To answer the original question, there's no way I'm importing this toy. I will very likely buy a domestic Hasbro release (with or without trailer, if the price it right). It does look very good, but not $200 good. The most I've ever spent on individual TFs was ~$90 on MP-01 and a bit more on MP-05. I did also spend a bunch of money on this year's botcon toys, but their price is high for a different reason.

    I won't be preordering this but I will probably get it. I think that after its out I will be able to get it cheaper from Honk Kong than if I got it via BBTS. The US dollar is not doing so well and also going to Australia via America is going to be contributing to that high price.

    Kapow will be getting my pre-order when I can get the money set aside - as other UKers have said, they're a great company to deal with and I'd like to support them where I can.

    You may want to chill out, and not jump down peoples' throats because they don't agree with your opinions of a given character.

    I know huh. Oh well, I tried.

    As for the point of the thread...I'd never even heard of this AmiAmi site before this thread (and I've been a member here for two years!), but for now I'll stick with my preorder from BBTS. AmiAmi seems like a site I should peruse more often for Japanese stuff now that I know about it, and I can always switch preorders before December.

    I'm probably gonna wait for the Hasbro version though it's gonna have it's stupid saftey regulations (the yellow wings are probably gonna be rubber if they are gonna be pointy) but I do hope all the features and acceriories the Takara version has got will be present on the Hasbro one (and I'll save a couple of £££ so it's a win win)

    I wasn't jumping downing other people throats. Nor was I getting overly hot heated/excited.

    I could care less whether others agree with me or not.

    it's the power core combiners hate replies all over again. only with the power cores swapped out for MP Rodimus.

    If you hate a toy/character,say it once. anything more is just purposely trying to ruin threads. jumping in, 15+ threads related to that same toy/character then bashing it/being negative is just flame baiting,spamming & trying to turn a polite thread into a circus side show.

    Someone saying that they're not interested in a forthcoming toy is neither flame baiting, spamming nor circus-related. Also, it's couldn't care less, saying you could care less suggests you care about something. Please provide a list of these 15+ threads because right now you're just making yourself look ridiculous.

    once or twice is okay to negatively bash a toy/character. anything more is just trying to ruin threads.

    I'm not a big enough fan of Rod to sink $200 fazools into this, but if I was buying this, it would be from BBTS or TFSource. When you're talking about an expensive collector's item like this I'd rather spend the extra few bucks for what I know will be solid customer service and very good packaging.

    Won't be preordering anywhere!

    Will wait for Hasbro version.

    If they don't release him at all, I don't really mind.
