    Being a Countach, it'd really need two trunks. :)  (one up front under the hood, and the smaller one under the spoiler----the engine bay is between the two)

    But due to the transformation scheme, I don't expect anything to open besides the doors, if that. (anyone that's owned a G1 Sideswipe probably opened the doors *permanently* at some point---I think I owned three as a kid before I figured out how to pull the arms out without pulling the doors off---if only the instruction's arrows had more clearly indicated to pull on the WHEELS and not the doors for that step)

    Wow, is the UK Pound really 1.6 to the dollar. For fucks sake. Good thing you guys didn't go with the Euro.

    If I was you, I would do a US vacation once a year just to buy the shit you want and real cheap prices.

    I had a bit of trouble figuring out what was going on with Breakdown's arm at first, but now I see it-- apparently, the handle on the rhino-hammer Micron is, like, weirdly long and thin. It makes me wonder what the US version will get (inb4 "ARRRRR ME HATE MECKTEK KILLKILLKILL"), especially the secondary weapon, which the AM releases always omit-- note how Takara Starscream does not appear to have his missiles.

    I think if you're going to say that no shoulder cannon precludes Soundwave, you must apply the same logic to Red Alert.

    I really think this thread needs to be split into like 4 threads:

    1- Prime stuff
    2- MP12
    3- MP13
    4- Price complaints

    It won't be a repaint which is surprising. Pigs do fly.

    Btw does anyone have the teaser image for Sideswipe?

    This is awesome! Breakdown is outstanding, I like Knockout's paintjob (minus the micron ports :(  ), the Vehicon's Micron is cool, MP-12 looks great (and in scale), and MP -13 looks like SOUNDWAVE! (Which is nice considering the 3rd party one was canceled)

    Y'know, the more I look and think about MP12, the more I don't want it.

    Breakdown, Takara Knockout, and (possible) MP Soundwave on the other hand...

    I was thinking about it. You make out like a champ in this. You already have a perfectly good MP Sideswipe.

    I hope Sideswipe comes to the U.S.A. I am not buying anymore tak MPs.

    Also that does not look like Soundwave to me.

    Here's a long shot. MP Ratchet. :D 

    This way a repaint is inevitable and the TF world makes sense again...

    That's a little too high for this I think. It's nice, but it's smaaaaall. I'd wait on an American release.

    Well, I'm thinking it won't stay there. It seems like retailers just throw a random price out there and HOPE people go nuts for it.

    For example, MP Rodimus and Sunstorm both started off higher than they actually sold for upon release.

    On the flip side, when something sells well at the preorder price, they jack it up, Takara 2010 Unicron for instance :2c: 

    This is clearly just my opinion so feel free to disagree. I'll get Sideswipe, no doubt about it but I'm hoping to snatch it up for 120-130 shipped.


    And as for MP13; Soundwave

    I could be wrong but I'm thinking SW
