    Depends if you ordered from a retailer selling the TakaraTomy release or the Hasbro Asia one, you only get the coins with the latter.

    It is weird...but it's also 'normal'. TT are not including a base with this one cos...reasons. You are supposed to use Dinobots... if you have it which you might not. TBH I think it was a poor choice by TT.

    What an absolutely stunning figure!

    No QC issues on mine! Perfect & gorgeous paint apps and tolerances.

    Transformation is pretty easy if you're familiar with the original ultra figure and if you take your time a bit.

    I know. When you start counting down the days time goes so much slower. It doesn't help that friends were supposed to come by yesterday and end up getting sick, so I really just had the day to think about how badly I want this toy.

    At least Megatron is distracting me from my anticipation of Endgame for now.

    I’m blind. This is as far as I can go before I’m afraid to go any further before I break anything.

    Sounds like torture. The fact he’s shipped for me it feels like he’ll never be here and with how long my work hours are on the weekend it’s just torture at the moment but like what you said about endgame megatron is a perfect distraction for me also, April 25 is so close but so far at the same time :cool:

    I know, it's so ridiculous. The day it arrives will probably drive me crazy too. I'll be at work, and then when I come home my wife and put my baby to sleep, then we made dinner, then after we eat is my time. So I'm going to have to wait till then to open it. Time is just going to get slower and slower waiting for that moment.

    I just remind myself that this is not the first time I've been this excited for something. Dinobot was even more hype for me, and now he is here. Every moment like this has come and gone, and they'll be more of these moments. In the long run, they all come and go. So I just try to enjoy the fact that I live in a world with so much to get excite about. And while I get my son ready for bed, I'll be thinking about how much fun it'l be when he can join me in the excitement.

    Looks like Gamerlingual found the hidden mode replicating his look in Power Surge after a roid-ed up Terrorsaur turned him into scrap.

    You need to slide up his chest. After that you can fold the chest into place and slide it back.
    It's a bit of a tight sliding joint so make sure you have a good grip and use steady force.

    Good luck!

    Man I’m exactly the same, when he arrives I’ll be in work and when I’m home its dinner time then I’ve to head to the post Office Depot cause i won’t be home to answer the door so the effort of going all the way to collect him then when I’m home it’s shower time then put my little girl to bed and if I have any energy left (which I’m sure I will cause it’s megs) I’ll open him up and just enjoy the feeling of his presence and awesomeness :) 

    I know we’ve so much more to look forward to and not only that the fact that even more 3rd party companies are delving into the beast wars franchise makes me so excited to see what we have in about 5 years time. Man I Love the ending to that paragraph my daughter has no interest in transformers though she does scream bot bots when she sees them on the tv so maybe :)

    That's awesome! Bot Bots are a gateway toy ;) . I have no idea if my son will be into transformers or not, but if he is I can't wait to share my childhood collection of Beast Wars with him. If he isn't, then I fully intend to get into whatever he gets excited about so we can be excited together, whatever that may be.

    Once you figure out the transformation and understand the tabbing without getting everything mixed up, it's actually easy but extensive enough to be interesting. QC actually isn't bad this time. Thumbs up from me even for my second Megs

    “Only” two for me. Can’t see myself triple-dipping.

    So I take it you’re all sitting in a pile of plastic ruins now given he just crumbles apart when you open the box? Oh wait..!

    Yeah, not seen any further reports of snappenings, just Mr Hamhands being posted 10000 times so commence au festival. Happy for you guys, I don’t do BW stuff but Megs here certainly looks cool as they come, bags of personality in the shots you’re posting. Keep ‘em coming.
