    Pre-applied stickers? You want them misaligned or crinkled out of the box? Considering the spotty sticker applications I've seen in TR and PotP to date, I'd rather apply them myself.

    The Hasbro version is less than Takara's?
    :peoples: :wtf: 

    Other than the companies, I need to see what's different between the two versions.

    For 3 months ahead release from the Japanese date and it being a simple sticker slap on to the boxes, I’m ok with that. Plus their retail is 27,000 yen. It includes shipping. Hopefully I’ll get it by Monday or Tuesday

    No differences between the Hasbro and Takara-Tomy versions aside from the prices ($159.99 vs. $229.99). Plus, it'll be released in mid-July first to the states, then September for the Japanese release. So, I'd rather save $70, and another 88-111 bucks on import shipping (Robot kingdom is charging almost $100 for shipping, no thanks).

    Well, after Predaking I'll be taking a month and a half breaking from buying Transformers. Next releases I'll be focusing on will be MP41 Dinobot, Fanstoys figures (Cyclonus, Sixshot, and Mindwipe), MP10G Lagoon, MMC Cliffjumper, and X-Transbots Skids in the summer. Got enough time to save for all.

    Finally a review I can actually listen to without weird POING and such sound effects every 10 seconds. :D 
    Anyone notice how the Predaking feet seem to have some grey peg on the underside? Not the big connector on the top, seems like it could flip out or could be pulled out? Anyone knows what those are?

    And with this, the only regular release POTP toy not available physically or for pre-order is "wave 4" Novastar. In a month or less wave 3 will be more widely available/ pre-orders shipping out and POTP will be basically done. BY MID-JULY.

    That last one is the money shot.
    No doubt whatsoever that this figure will be amazingly fun.

    Checked them, but even without shipping they are more expensive than the ebay sellers from Taiwan. I'll probably wait until Amazon.es or it has the toys, like last time when they sold Trypticon super cheap.
