    Really looking forward to this guy. He'll be my first Japanese Masterpiece figure and from what I can assume, he may end up being a Japanese exclusive.

    Worried about the paint job like what happened with Sideswipe.
    Might wait for the second round of releases.

    I have Lambor already so I want to wait for a states side release for Red Alert if he gets one. I do like the look of his mold in white. So Pretty!

    for that, i think lamborghini's paint might have been most of the issue, wasn't it mentioned that the red paint shade was a requirement?

    Do you mean the alt mode colours?
    I didnt have many issues with the red, a few chips here and there but all in all acceptable.
    The more noticable qc issues where the silver on the lower legs and shoulder parts.
    They were very thinly applied and the plastic underneath shows through.

    But back on the topic, excited? Not really, but I do want him.
    He does look really good.

    Somehow, i think the possibility of the white paint coming out at least as bad as on Sideswipe...is a strong one.

    People might be best advised to wait for a review.

    I WAS excited for this until the Sideswipe paint debacle.

    I'll wait for reviews.

    I'm thinking in the other direction, that Takara learned from there botchy paint job....eh, second times a charm.

    I was just hoping Alert would be out by Christmas, as Lambor and Alert are my main items this year.

    Which shade of red, the one on the roof or the one on the doors? :thumb 

    Yeah, MP Rodimus would disagree about learning from mistakes.

    I am not a fan of the new direction that the MP line has taken in general, but Takara have picked one of the very few Autobot cars that could draw me in to a purchase (Red Alert, Prowl, Mirage or Trailbreaker, really). But, after Sideswipe, I am waiting for reviews to see how it turns out. Surely Takara cant screw up putting white paint on a car... can then?
