    Me thinks they backed it of due to the holidays and the volume of stuff coming out.

    Each piece has its own month with this as well, at least main figure wise so I don't count the cassettes as heavy hitters in the $$$ dept(never said they were cheap either).

    Bigger hits are always easier to absorb when bought spread out and they tend to sell better as well.

    I'm actually good with this, especially if it means they're cleaning house with the constant QC issues.

    Mic Sounders?

    Do you not have any fucking ears?

    But yeah, I'm in the "Cool, more time to save money." camp. I guess I'm just getting more patient in my old age.

    Oh well. I got a few preorders that'll come in in January anyway. It would've been hard leaving him in my PoL for a month.

    As long as they are released I don't care about the delay. No money for them right now.

    It's kinda funny that MP-14 is gonna come out before MP-13 now. But I'm cool with it, a month ain't that long.

    Anyone remember how MP Rodimus was released around late Jan, and people suggested the rush to finish it for Chinese New Yr was part of the reason for the QC problems?

    Hope history doesnt repeat itself

    I'm disappointed for both cause I want my Fort Max and then later get my MP soundwave. I think some of the problem could have been that Takaratomy found out how many pre-orders there is for Fort Max and didn't have enough product made. So they had to make more product for all the people that pre-ordered. Plus this could be a good thing cause that might just change the way they think and they would possible release other product down the line later on in the year.

    I just did the same thing, haha. :D 

    December is a very heavy month for me, and I am sure for many others. As much as I really want MP Soundwave in my hot hands, the delay is actually a blessing.

    Well Soundwave is already paid for but this officially ruins chrimbo for me as he was gonna be 50% of my presents.

    Wonderful.

    The only positive I'm gleaning is the tapes are literally hot on his heels now so we'll have a complete set sooner.......unless they are delayed too.....

    I agree it does give you more time to save up.
