    After graduation I had one month to get a job and find somewhere to live. You are in a great position right now. One thing you really need to focus on is to start making and saving some money!,get on with a job bro. Your gonna have to support your collecting somehow right?

    Since you asked Ill give my suggestion. Go ahead and get Mp10b. Its clear your dying to get it. Go ahead or it will keep eating at you lol. Either pay 160 for it now or god knows what later. I have him and he is excellent in hand,worth the price atm. Also go ahead and treat yourself to the other MP's you want. Same goes for them,they will be most likely going for around double after a years time. Get your preorders in,with this line's popularity,its better to stay ahead to the game. You will be saving money in the long run which brings me to my final point. Take the rest of that money or most of it and save/invest it! If you dont need it for anything,invest that shit! Grab yourself a few shares of Berkshire B stock through TD Ameritrade or similar services and just forget you even had the money. You will thank yourself (and me:p )later,trust me.:wink:

    this. they don't eve share the same mould for their G1/ Diaclone toys!

    aside from the Generations/ Henkei lines, they have always been two distinct robots.

    Forgive me I'm a bit slow as I just passed my mid 30's, but I just realised that the reason Takara Tomy haven't released Sunstreaker yet is to milk us with Tigertracks.

    If I understand correctly, Tigertracks is an e-hobby exclusive. I think Takara kept Sunstreaker for themselves. We really don't want e-hobby to be the sole distributor of a main character like Sunstreaker. Ehobby can get expensive so I'm glad it's a take it or leave it character they are putting out.

    on the show, oh. ok. I guess I was thinking of the Tokyo show.

    well, I consider myself a fan, and I check out this speculation thread every day. but I have worked for a parts store for five years and I guess because I deal with part numbers every day for work, the numbers just don't stick in my mind like they oughta...as far as a add on kit to sideswipe...ummmmm, nope.

    that's what I wuz thinking of. mah bad.

    Annnnnnd I totally agree with that. However, there may be some people in the fandom who approach the MP line like Classics, and therefore view a Sunstreaker "upgrade" kit as a viable option rather than a wholly unnecessary move. I'm of the view it's wholly unnecessary, but it wouldn't surprise me at all to see it made and to see some people utilize it.

    Well, people have corrected you on the MP Tigertrack, but the original Tigertrack was not an E-Hobby reissue exclusive either, it was a Figure King mailaway exclusive.

    All the best

    I'd imagine that if he were done, he'd be a new figure, not a repaint.

    Yeah, if and when they release Blaster he will be a completely new mold. This is the Masterpiece line.

    Soundwave might be repainted into Soundblaster but not into Blaster.
