    I live in Los Angeles about 15 minutes from the customs office. Items from Japan typically arrive in 3 days for me. Much faster than domestic shipping.

    Since I switched to AE I (touch wood) never get stung by customs. Of course there's places like Kapow Toys that I can go to for domestic (UK) shipping and they tend to get their stuff out as fast as the Japanese retailers do these days. I have one Primal coming from each this time, because I'm an idiot who NEEDED to have that mace for some reason.

    Is that until release date? I know my preorder says end of the month but that can very anywhere from the 21st to 31st. I ask because im.not sure you don't have one being shipped as an early sample or something Also because in one week I havr to pay for the rest of my Comicave Optimus Prime figure & Mattycollector LionO so I'm HOPING.against hope that he is released near November 1st when I can easily afford it

    Thanks

    Release date is the 29th, which (according to my fingers) is 15 days away.

    I have preordered primal and Cheetor from seeing the excitement here. I hope these sell very well so we continue getting them as I love beast wars.

    Primal and Cheetor are the only MP figures that I've preordered the day it went live. I'll buy any Masterpiece Beast Wars figures without hesitation.

    Close. The original figure is a bit bigger and way more bulkier in robot mode (which isn't show accurate), the original figure is 22cms tall and the MP is 19, however a good centimeter of that height on the original figure is the protrusion of the hood ( again not show accurate).

    It's going to be interesting seeing the two stood next to each other...where are our comparison shots!

    Pre-order: RE-placed! Fingers crossed but I am excited as hell.

    Hopefully this makes the wait for Cheetor easier.

    Even after cancelling my preorder, I've been lurking around here - getting slightly anxious about letting this one slip through my fingers...

    I've tried finding a suitable comparison between MP-32 and my old 10th Anniversary toy (sold off when this was announced...), but got a little tired of flicking back through dozens of pages in the thread hah.

    Makes me realize how sad the older one looks in comparison, and I still love that toy. The new one looks better than he did in the animation.

    I'm getting MP-32 & I ain't getting rid of the original Optimus Primal/Beast Convoy or his variants...

    Actually not, I'd already sold off TM-SP DX version but am keeping the rest of him. (Decided that I'm fine with the Legends LG-02 instead)

    These two can co-exist within my collection, no problem.

    The mold itself is twenty years old after all. Now I still have my childhood 1996 version of the mold. The later 2006 reissue really looks far better, but the MP simply puts both to shame.

    I'm looking forward to taking comparison pictures with this and MP Primal. It's going to be so nice to have a season one Primal that won't have a hand flip back to deploy the arm gun.
