To hell with MP or CHUG, when is someone going to make these in scale with old Starcom figurines?

 

They should make them huge and give them artificial intelligence. I could then buy them and have them build a new house for me.

 

I just wish they would release these in legends scale…


They’ve been incoming for like 2 weeks at showz, they could have almost mailed to the US at this rate…

 

That’s the best idea yet

 

LOL! The magnetic feet and easily lost visors!

 

LOL, what the heck? In stock at US retailers first??

Magic Square Toys B41 EXCAVATOR MASTER & B42 BULLDOZER MASTER

 

Still only "Incoming" on ShowZ.  

 

I've seen this happen quite a few times with Magic Square stuff. I had my MS Motormaster from TCP in hand while people who ordered from ShowZ were still waiting for a ship notification.

And now I'm waiting on a ship notice on the 2nd Devastator set from ShowZ. Those trumpets were just too tempting :v

 

Happened with the Newage Ultra Magnus that just got released too.

 

TCP gets their stuff stateside the quickest usually. It’s pretty usual that if you order from Showz or Terry’s etc you’re gonna get your figs at least a couple weeks after TCP folks get theirs. That’s the high cost of being a cheapskate and buying from Showz or Terry’s like me.

Not sure why, but TCP gets their stuff quicker than almost anyone, including China vendors sometimes. Maybe they choose the more expensive fast shipping option when they make their wholesale orders  

 

Didnt realize ShowZ hadn't shipped themalready.

Terry sent me an email more than a week ago - had them preordered, yesterday I did the final payment and today he has shipped them.

I'm really satisfied with Terry so far, that's my 4th order in the last 3 months.

 

TCP has an exclusivity thing for the US with MS that is why their bots hit first. but the only way MS can guarantee that is to air the first couple of batch boxes to TCP.

if they didn't do that they would be getting their bots like the rest of the vendors out there.

so it breaks down like this if you are stateside and want the latest and greatest MS bots hit up TCP definitely. but be forewarned that their customer service is pretty bad if there are issues unless you are a whale. but they will eventually come through.

if you want anything else 3p in the states that is lightning fast and with the best customer service around go with @ToyDojo.

especially if you are a legends collector. because we all know sometimes things come up.

they actually have their figs instock before most of the china shops. because of their tight working relationships with everyone. so anything IF or NA will be there almost immediately after you see a video review.

after that it is BBTS because slow and steady wins the race. if there are no other options TFSOURCE if you are truly desperate.

 

Exclusivity? Where did you get this info?

 

just from dealing with these NA stores all this time and shooting the shit. whenever i pop up in my random journey's across the US and there is a shop near by i try and visit for sure.

i am glad that they are a preferred seller or whatever. because i don't have to sit back and suffer the excruciating wait. while everyone has the bots in their hands already. but i can totally see why folks would wait since speed comes with a premium attached.

 

I LOVE TCP!!!

Got impatient. I saw that ShovelMaster/DozerMaster(whatever they're called) are in stock, so I ordered 'em! I ordered the combo with the Trumpets from ShowZ, so those will get here when they get here. But these guys were my faves as a kid so I paid an extra $10 bucks or so for an extra set that I will probably get sooner than the set that I pre-ordered. Oooooooohhh YEAH!

 

I hope they do leave that gray. It will be my one correct robot Hook.

 

Yeah it does cost a bit more but from time to time, I do need a instant plastic crack fix and I will buy local.
Got this new set and MS Beachcomber/Seaspray coming and I am thinking of getting some local to cover the waiting time  

 

so has anyone else found the trumpets offered anywhere else aside from ShowZ???

 

Cue the slo mo walk music and explosions....two little bad asses have arrived, courtesy of Bombusbee.


Little jerks aren't here 5 minutes and they're dropping bombs up in the bathroom. There's not even any toilet paper in that dollhouse! Devastator indeed! My daughter's gonna be pissed.

I continue to be amazed at how cool these little figures are. I love the details of MP figures, but the engineering, poseability and ease of handling make these things a joy. Absolutely love em.
