    I preordered the pc-engine/turbo grfx mini on amazon Japan, it comes out in March 2020. If Snatcher or Rondo of Blood mean nothing to you, you may continue with your daily lives.

    Thought I would just let the people know who weren’t aware, I am in fact, keeping my preorder for MP-44 on Amazon JP.

    No idea lol. I just loved the photo too much. It was somewhere earlier in this thread. Sorry about that. Maybe I should make it someone I know.

    I've cancelled both my MP-44s and all future MP orders and sold up the collection to buy Unicron. If anyone asks why my shelves are so empty I'll just say that the Chaos Bringer ate them all :thumb

    This better not be a personal attack on the people who canceled their orders. You don’t know their background history, so I suggest to show more compassion than mocking those that were not able to follow through. No one understands the background that they go through or if they are having challenges whether it be money or family issues

    Seems more like a tongue-in-cheek response to those people informing everyone that they have cancelled their pre-orders. Posts which are absolutely no less valid than others giving updates about paying off their pre-orders (as I did a couple pages back), and no less exciting/riveting than people posting updates when their orders have shipped, or out-for-delivery. It all belongs in this thread, where else are we gonna say it after all?

    I would hope that no one who cancelled their pre-orders feels personally attacked in any way, shape or form. Maybe they'll even get a chuckle out of it all. Life's too short to take things on here too seriously, right? :thumb

    Not when one of the reasons is because their mother has to be cared for. Carry on.

    Hope everything works out ok, chief. Family and loved ones should always come way before anything as frivolous as these toys. I'd sell up the entire collection for real in a heartbeat if needed - it's actually one of the good things about MPs, they hold their value pretty well, sometimes even increasing.
    And they can always be purchased or repurchased at a later date, most of them aren't that limited.

    I cancelled my preorder. I can afford this, but I don’t want to. The value, for me, is not worth it. I did not get offended by everyone’s posts about not cancelling. I didn’t find them very funny either, but by no means were they insulting....to me anyway. I understand people are getting excited for this. I’m getting excited to see pictures and videos

    I wonder how many preorders are gonna get cancelled to free up money for Unicron?
    I’m seriously considering it myself.

    Not cancelled my pre-order. In fact, just paid off Optimus Prime, Bumblebee and Hound for the largest part at Amazon Japan.

    I'm a proud Unicron backer. There's absolutely no way I'm passing on that thing.


    Collecting Official only and the very, very occasional 3P character (2 so far) does financial wonders for me.

    YMMV, of course.
