I called a chibi bee....and no one patted me on my back .

 

Thank you, where do I pick up my internets prize?

I didn't realize they had a render or prototype back then of V3 Prime. Streak had a showing in the case, and I identified it before anyone here did, by 6 months. My point is, I saw it there, and got no credit for finding it.

 

It's not MP-18+ man.  

 

Then why are the details I pointed out, as colored plastic such as the headlights and windows right? So they changed the paint scheme in 7 months, that isn't that far fetched.

 

Effects of a shitty-quality photo under fluorescent yellow lighting?

I actually don't even understand what you thought you saw in the circled parts of the photo. It has the same red parts as MP-18 (which are also red on 18+, just underneath blue glass this time). The same red shoulder joints connecting the arms.

 

LMAO yeah... That was NOT mp18+. Nice try?

Is the news credit that important to you? No one actually cares about that. At least I don't. If I could give you one so you'd stop bringing it up I'd give you ten news credits. Hope that helps.

 

I'm talking the red trim around the headlights, and the obviously blue tinted windows. And for the record, I don't want any "official" credit for it, just pointing out that I was right and no one else noticed it and wrote it off.

 

There are many photos from that show that aren't blurry and show clearly the bluestreak figure is indeed the original mp18 figure.

 

The black stripe at the top of Bluestreak's 'knees'




The black stripe at the top of his door, too. Both missing from 18+.




The gun of the figure at the toy show is clearly a lighter colour silver than the dark grey of his body. The back of his door wings is red, while 18+'s are grey too.


Or is it some kind of conspiracy? They swapped out the toy at the toy show between these two photos, just to make us look like fools!

 

Poor Wheeljack. Tons of posts today and it is about his brother Bluestreak.

Guess I shouldn't feel bad about Wheeljack. Prowl will flat out be ignored.

 

is his pistol included?

 

Yep

 

Sí.

 

I've been looking for a way to get the toy-based shoulder launchers for Wheeljack without buying Exhaust for many years, to no avail. If they haven't happened by now, and they haven't, I don't think they ever will.

 

Buy Exhaust. He's great. His deco really pops especially in robot mode, and that's one of the coolest faces a TF has ever received.

 

I'm having difficulty preordering this from Amazon Japan. From what I gathered, 3rd party suppliers do not ship to the US and only Amazon.jp can ship to the US. Anyone else have that experience?

 

That’s correct. Hopefully, AJ will reopen preorders for those who missed out.

 

Crap, that's what I get for being lazy. Anyone have experience doing business with Hobby Link Japan?

 

Yep. I've bought stuff from them for years. They are solid.

 

When Encore Big Convoy dropped, some 3Ps WERE shipping to the US
