    They also look excellent with Alternator bots.

    In my opinion, as much as I LOVE MP, Alternators is where they truly pushed boundaries. If I don't sell Starscream MP03, he'll be in jet mode with my Alternators crew.

    This gives me hope. Only a few more weeks! Hard to believe Starscream is almost here.

    I prefer the real Dirge for better or worse. Maketoys did an outstanding job with their version, but HasTak's is the only one with the wings in the correct location. The real Coneheads felt "rushed" as far as QC issues are concerned, but as a set they look damn good (especially on the flight stands in bot mode and phenomenal in jet mode). I can't wait to see them with the updated seekers, or at least Starscream in a few weeks.

    Not sure what the hell Zeta was trying to accomplish if I'm being honest. It feels like they should've released theirs around the iGear seeker days. Not the worst 3P figs (*cough* Chronos), but they look like they don't belong to any true MP collection astectically.

    I'm strongly considering Terry's but is there any other place online that's selling this for under $265 USD nowadays?

    Dang, I just messaged AmiAmi, they don't offer shipping estimates on preorder items. Oh well, hopefully somebody over there can get back to me with some more info.

    I pre-ordered mine from Anime Export for basically the same price as AmiAmi and they also have separate shipping. I think my quote for a 1500g package ended up being ~$30-$40 for shipping to NY State. IDK where you are but it might give you a rough idea of how much it might be for you.

    It's very possible it could be cheaper too but we won't know until they get it in and have a final package weight.

    I live just outside of NYC, I'm guessing it'll be the cheapest option available at this point in the game, even with overseas shipping, but I want to make sure it isn't, say, $60 or $70.

    Nope, I'm OK with the slow boat, lol. I got the MAFEX Wolverine from AmiAmi and wound up paying about $20 in shipping and that figure doesn't weigh anything.

    You don’t but if you want it, make sure you won’t want to cancel it. They’re very hesitant to cancel preorders.
