    Just finished placing my most recent coins. Again, thanks to Dark Jedi for the idea.

    I'm only missing coins for MP-01L and MP-13B. If anyone has either of these coins and is up for selling or trading for them, hit me up!

    Ok, I see Toy Arena has MP-18 Bluestreak's coin. Anyone have experience with them? Is Toy Arena a good e-tailer?

    Toy Arena is a site sponsor, and site sponsors have to be in good standing to retain sponsorship. I've bought from them before, and they're cool.

    I showed your photos here to my wife, and she said, "Oh wow, that looks really nice!" Having said that, I want mine like this eventually in some form or fashion. I'm still pretty sold on the binder idea for mine, but I just haven't gotten things squared away yet for them.

    This is really a gorgeous display! However, a heads up. Majority of the coins have the cellophane tape on it, to keep the coin in place. There is some chemical reaction with the adhesive, most notably with the MP-09 coin.

    I originally wasn't going to double dip on Lambor's coin, but I did anyways.

    Now, when Exhaust gets rereleased, I'm just hoping the coins are released....

    That's good to know. Thanks for the warning there.

    Also, I see that you're not really a "new" member, but you haven't posted a lot. I'd just like to say "Welcome to TFW2005.COM' :)

    Is there any easy source for getting the Japanese MP collector cards? I'd like to get all the ones that came with soundwave, since I got the American release, but they don't even appear to be on ebay.

    So did any of those MP-23 coins ever surface for purchase anywhere?

    The MP-03: Grimlock was a Hasbro release as a Toys R Us exclusive. Not many people knew there was a commemorative coin that came along with it.

    People who chanced upon the coin are scalping for all its worth.

    I recall reading in a post, the coin was never released by Transformers Asia in Hong Kong when Exhaust was banned outside of Japan. MP-23 was widely sold in Japan and made it out to the rest of the world but the coin remains elusive.

    I would definitely keen to get my hands on the MP-23 coin. It kills me to know the coin exists but not available to the general public.
