    No Asian preorders yet. Jigga do you know any Taobao stores that carry these?

    After seeing more and more of these MI is looking extremely legit right now. I'm super impressed with what they have done with these guys and I wonder what their next project will be.

    On the strength of how these turned out, I'd love to see them take a shot at Perceptor. I think they could od something great there.

    With the bump up in release date I was worried that I wouldn't have the funds to cover these guys. But then I remembered that the MT Mobain sets had been delayed a good bit so now that money will now go toward these guys. Silver lining I guess. :)

    Hmmm the bump in release date might force me to drop this pre-order. We'll see.

    I'll be excited if this gets bump up early, looks like Toyworlds Hardbone & Aurora got bumped back to the end of February (At least per Chimungmung's site). And how can you beat the price for the two of these guys? I hope we see some more products form Mech Ideas soon.

    I imagine if TFSource is getting theirs early, than so will BBTS since I doubt shipments will start early for only one retailer.

    And no, there is no confusion with the Longblast upgrade kit. TFSource posted this news on the early shipment on their Facebook page. I'd post the link, but I know not everyone has Facebook on here. If you do, just look up the TFSource page and it'll be there.

    Well, something had to go given the current release schedule of 3P's & Takara this year. I will probably kick myself later, but I canceled my order. The biggest reasons are that they are a newer 3P (I would like some reviews first) and that terrible packaging. I am also not sure about the size. In that video he compares Apex to a FOC UM and Apex looks a lttle smaller. This could just be the bad angle he has, but that is a little smaller than I was hoping for. Again, a good US review may make all my concerns turn to regret as I have always liked these two characters.

    According to TFSource, they are shipping this week and they're estimating them to arrive next week.

    Really excited for these guys. I could care less about the packaging. If that's what helped it have a reasonable cost than I'm all for it.
