    Think its more a sign that BW in Kingdom won't necessarily translate into more BW MPs. Its too niche to give people too many options, some people will naturally choose the cheaper of the two because all they want is a modern representation, they don't necessarily need the best.

    Hmm, maybe I should cancel my Show Z orders before it comes into stock and give AJ a shot...

    Its probably going to get better than that, there's been at least 30 for a while now. I'm waiting for points to decide to pick another one up

    I'm leaning this way as well. I can wait and if I had ordered now I would have saved $45 CAD. It hasn't even been a month yet. The only reason I haven't done that yet is a fear that they will sell out and I won't have a shot to buy it there at all. The FOMO is real.

    Hindsight is 20/20 though, with Amazons cancellation date and sellers not shipping outside of Japan, you have to choose a side of the fence to sit on. He only sold out one PO but by the time that was evident that he most likely would end up on sale it was well past cancellation date.
    I don't know if you could wager it would be like that for Waspinator,Rhinox or Rattrap though.Still anybody expecting them to run through s1 characters is probably going to be disappointed.

    I just got around to transforming Tigertron and have a question. In transforming his knees, when flipping them inward so that they are in the correct orientation for bot mode, are they supposed to lock in place?
    My copy is a little loose causing his knees to bend the opposite way ever so slightly. Also, it easily wants to swing outward as if transforming him back to beast mode.
    I've seen several transforming vids and none seem to highlight a locking mechanism, I do not know if I am missing a step.
    Thanks in advance!

    Sadly there is no locking system, just varying degrees of joint tolerances in individual copies, it's probably the only major flaw of the figure. I'd recommend using a bit of floor polish to tighten up both the secondary 'knees' and the sideways joints.

    As someone who had to wait 25 days from him being posted to arrive, I can certainly feel your pain. Rest assured though, he's worth the wait.

    He absolutely pops off the shelf thanks to his size and colours. It's a wonderful transformation, too. He might actually be my favourite MP to date!

    When did you place your pre-order? I ordered it March 6, pretty early on I think and I paid 16,783 plus 1600 for shipping. $10 is still $10. It's a gamble on whether how long after release it'll go lower, by how much, and when it'll its lowest before selling out.

    I painted a Diaclone ReBoot spare adapter plug gloss white and made a notch in it so I could attach his Tiger Shot in stored mode.
    What did you find for storage?
