    DHL says Cordon is going to arrive Tuesday from Amazon JP. I think this is the only TT Masterpiece I am buying this year. :(

    I'm on the cool train with Amazon JP having this shipped.

    It's actually in the DHL hub in Cincy already!

    It's funny, I always thought that the original version of this figure was weird, a super charged Lambo Police car?! Yet this figure in MP form looks amazing!

    I hate to say it but it looks better than Sunstreaker :(  I love all the detailing and especially like how they have used the paint job to make the front end look wider.

    I would be so up for a more Toy + version of MP-39 but with Sunstreakers face in silver. However I'm not sure we will see such a creation.

    I got mine today and have to say he is really awesome. So glad that this thread convinced me to pre-order one. Think I would regret missing out on him seeing more photos.

    For some reason I'm a bit more excited about Cordon than I was for Sunstreaker.

    Police deco bruh - for an outlaw such as myself, it is strange how hype I get off LEO transportation - think it’s some weird subconscious 5 yr old-me shit at play - which is the whole reason we do this right? :) 

    I ordered from A-E like an idiot and picked SAL option so I’ll prolly have to wait til Thanksgiving unfortunately

    I learned from my prior days ordering from those Japanese TF retailers (other than Amazon JP). After a couple times I couldn't do SAL anymore. Just too long of wait for shipping time....3 to 4 weeks usually. Amazon Japan is the bees knees.

    Yeah I’m up on game ... I just had a brainfart when I initially ordered and forgot that Cordon was a numbered TT release ... I know it was hit or miss on the non-numbered MP releases /Amazon JP but I believe with Anime Prowl that’s now changing ...

    Just paid 22 bucks for Cordon's coin on eBay. Haha I'm curious if I'm saving money by buying several items from AE and saving on shipping rather than buying items from RK and getting the exclusives that I will eventually buy. Being able to have a 'pile of loot' from AE really is the best thing about them. If RK adopted that strategy it would be Game Over for most other retailers for me personally.

    No hatin'! Every since Sunstreaker was announced, I was aching for this police deco!

    I was excited from the beginning! Such a unique, cool alt mode

    Gotta love Amazon! Wasn't available for international when I ordered mine on AE so I'm still waiting. He is en route however so that's good.

    Mine delivered today, but I won't get a chance to mess with it until this evening.
    Very much looking forward to that, as it'll be my first time with the Sunstreaker mold.

    Mine is being delivered today from Amazon Japan via DHL, a day earlier than scheduled at that. On top of that I released the signature requirement online yesterday so DHL will just leave it at my door. No signature required anymore. Amazon Japan and DHL are the bomb.com.

    Yeah DHL are great for that, I need to intercept some packages that Amazon can't update the address of (preordered a long time ago, have since moved) but I'm not worries as as soon as a parcel is shipped to that address I'll get a warning and be able to redirect.

    Enjoy your Cordon! Hope to see sone shots soon!
