    Thanks and no, there is not a chance in hell I'm cancelling this! Can't wait to get me some Dino action!

    Yet again you take the words out of my mouth. Plus we a) can't expect every poster to go back and read through the entire thread to see their point has been discussed or resolved in the past, even if that would be nice and b) Isn't it better to politely set them straight and refer them to the previous discussion or ignore then if you are tired of hearing it? Rather than shouting them down or aloofly insulting them? Seems to me doing the later is unproductive.

    Again spot on.

    What he wants to do is force people to change under his filter. Good luck with that.

    He says he’s tired of people who complain which is complaining about people who complain. o_O :sly: :tumbleweed: 

    Basically, he’s stating it’s his problem.

    Just saw your recommendation link. This does look better than the first. Oh well. Becoming a Beast Wars fan now with these cool figures. Gonna need a separate shelf for these guys. Already got Cheetor and both Primals 32 and 38. Dinobot is coming in one copy then I got two Megatron figures reserved. I think I’ve gotten plum loco in a positive way. More to enjoy and understand the community :)

    I had to think long and hard about getting the HT Arkham Knight Batman and Arkham Asylum/City Joker. I think Mr J went up for P.O. before I actually made the foolish decision to start collecting some Hot Toys so that amount of money still seemed pretty mad to me. If Joker went up now I’d probably buy without hesitation. I’ve now made an internal agreement with myself to only buy Prequel Hot Toys Star Wars characters who I’m particularly fond of; not because I’m a millennial who relishes in the ironic nature of prequel appreciation via meme culture, but because I’m a millennial who actually really likes the aesthetics of those character designs. Lord of the Rings is also in the running.
    If I were to run into a spending dilemma however, Beast Wars will always take priority. It’s one of my first and most enduring loves and the characters in that show no doubt helped shape my own character and morals. It’s a pretty big deal to me and I like to think that, even without the epic nostalgia factor and personal bias, this Megatron is honestly the best looking toy around. He’s just glorious so, although his price is unobjectionably high, I have no issues personally justifying it.

    I seriously need some Brits to trial AJ and see if it’s a good option for me because you guys are rubbing this constant price dropping in hard!

    I'm in the Netherlands and I'd also like to read shipping comparisons between NY and AE from fellow Europeans. My go-to places are CDJ, AmiAmi, HLJ and Rakuten but ordering from any of those would be a pretty taxic experience. :p

    well, the die is cast and I've taken the pre-order plunge (Kapow Toys price seems really reasonable to me).

    Next couple of weeks are going to be great! Dinobot and Zeta Onslaught both coming out as well.

    Hi.

    1. The topic of this thread is Masterpiece Beast Wars Megatron, let’s keep it focused on that.

    2. This is a forum to discuss official Hasbro and Takara products, but... third-party products of these characters do exist and comparisons between them are going to occur. Deal with it. If anyone feels the need to derail the discussion in this thread, or any other, with the neverending “official v. 3P” debate, I’ll simply thread ban you from the discussion.

    Also, trolling and flamebaiting are not allowed under the forum rules and any further instances of people calling official or unofficial products “shit” or any other derogatory terms simply to start problems will result in thread bans and infractions. Infractions lead to bans from the forum. Fair warning.

    Everyone on the same page now? Good. Please continue the fun discussion about Masterpiece Beast Wars Megatron, which looks like an absolutely amazing piece and I personally cannot wait for him to be released.

    They automatically cancel your order if you don’t pay after 48 hours I believe

    But of course, from Amazon Japan. I’m a huge BW fan and this thing looks damn near perfect. I’m incredibly impressed with what they’ve done with an amazing character.

    Awesome. Got two of him preordered. But I’m wondering if that’s overkill. Dinobot is two weeks away.

    If they get into transmetal territory, I really hope they use chrome

    Ew, please no. I'd much rather see metallic paint with a gloss topcoat than tacky-ass chrome.

    Is metallic paint actually going to replicate the shiny look from the show?

    I have two.on pre-order by accident. Was going to cancel one but thought, meh, there's always someone who wants one at the last second when all the good deals are gone. If I decide to just keep my one then I can help someone else save a bunch of change.
