    :trolls: 

    Quite some photos of Optimus Prime are being posted, but hardly any of his trailer. How about some more photos of his trailer, with all its configuration options, some Autobots positioned on it? Thanks!

    This isn't my section, but I will say this:
    Knock it off. All of you. Ignore, don't engage, whatever. The bickering and derailment needs to stop.

    On topic, I admittedly canceled my order for MP44 a while back. I really did want it, but a dead furnace kind of changes plans.
    That said, I will immediately jump on a toy-colored release because this figure looks absolutely amazing.

    That's what I stated earlier on. Either TT will do it, or a KO sooner or later. Regardless of the route, I can see a metallic version, plus 3P head being released that might surpass the previous MP versions.

    Seeing all these poses makes me even more pumped for MP-44+! Did you see @chchchch's latest digibash? The blurry convincing in-hand aspect makes it look so damn real!

    I’m just worried they over-ordered or some shady shit ... I’ve never had this long of a delay with anything on Amazon JP so my collector’s intuition tells me something is wrong ...

    BBTS has screwed me over like before, bc I’ve occasionally (key word) exhibited the utter audacity to cancel items (as I’m permitted), those a-holes have backburner’d me several times where I’ve actually missed out on the item ... I really hope Amazon JP isn’t jumping aboard that fuckery train ... (they even have cancellation cut-offs so for me they dnt even that lame sliver of an out that BBTS has ...)

    Yeah, I saw that. Soooooo impressive!
    I do want the figure, so a toy version would be a day-long pre-order.

    Alrighty then. Doing more cleanup. Keep it peaceful. If a comment bothers you, just ignore it or put the user on ignore. No need to bash as there are ways to work around it. Thank you

    Thank you for sharing!

    Thank you for the amazing collection of photos!

    My Amazon order states the same since yesterday evening. I had no activity on my bank account so I contacted AmazonJP and they said they would charge me when it ships. Which he said would happen on Monday 2nd of September. He then said I should get it by Thursday. Fingers crossed. I am in France for the records.

    That’s all I’m worried about as well. Seeing cancellation notices after my Primes have been paid off for months. They that to me with Beast Wars Megatron.

    That’s interesting to know. So depending on the sources of pctures we’re getting so far from AJ orders, Aisa is first and the they’ll work in a radial pattern. As long as my orders aren’t canceled, I’m aces.

    I kind of agree. I wouldn't go as far as to call the "cartoon accurate" direction "cruddy" but I was disappointed that they went in that direction.

    It's one of the reasons why my MP collection is so small: Only silver faces are allowed on the shelf (sounds kind of racist).

    That being said, I do think MP-44 looks pretty amazing (except for the backpack).
