    I'm guessing between 9-11 their time we should get some "it's on its way".

    Interesting. I assume this is what it looks like then.

    Someone up in the thread said they got their shipped notification at around 10pm ET, which is 11am in Japan, so you're just about right.

    I'm obviously already tainted with knowledge, but it's almost always obvious which one is the original. Takara designs have that specific gene that runs through their toys. This picture really shows how three of the same character can all look so different. When i display my 3P MS or TE optimus with my takara masterpieces, something just doesn't jive well. As beautiful as maketoys howling meteor is, something just looks off when you place him next to MP-36.
    Again, i think it's a design bible that takara has. Their shit looks cohesive.
    Makes me want my MP-44

    I guess they continue to do it by country rather than order date :rolleyes:

    Makes sense to do it that way. It's more efficient shippingwise.

    I got to admit the Cullen clips were a nice surprise, even better to me was the cartoon music.

    He looks hunched over.  Is that backpack too heavy for him?

    With a foot-print that wide he would have to be leaning heavily backwards with his knees bent for him to fall on his back. In fact you can see some dynamic poses in this very thread that he holds without problem! That stance he has is just meant to evoke how he was drawn in the cartoon at times.

    So my bank declined the payment on amazon.jp ... they wanted to make sure it was actually me. So I told the bank that I'm authorizing this payment. Now I am waiting for amazon.jp to run it again. It's been several hours, no idea what they're waiting for.
