    Ah, it seems I am a hair late, Chimungmung is now sold out of Tigertrack. Oh wells.

    Just remind yourself that, while pretty, it's a masterpiece version of a character that didn't actually appear in the cartoon, and whether you want to invest in that or not.

    Well I don't particularly have a strict guideline that I follow for buying transformers. I usually just buy what I like but recently I've been more picky as I am running out of room. I think I might just start to collect the Masterpiece line, or at least whatever I find affordable. Tigertrack would've been icing on the cake since I already own Sideswipe and Red Alert. I was attracted to his yellow paint job since yellow is my favourite colour but I'm not going to devastated that I won't own him.

    For those that are still looking for some I see ToyArena still has some, but dang has the price gone up, it's now $119.99. Lucky I jumped on the preorder days (literally) before the release, got him for $100. that's with shipping.

    Depends on how much you pay for shipping.
    EMS = express mail 3-4 days.
    SAL = Air mail up to 2 weeks.

    Don't think we had the choice for shipping. It was $15 shipping and I believe it was Air Mail so it looks like we'll be waiting 2 weeks for it to arrive.

    Did chimungmung provide a tracking # or a shipping notification email? All I have received is a order processing email right after I placed the order.

    BBTS must've gotten in a few more because half of my order was filled either Monday or Tuesday of this week, I can't remember.

    Anyway, reading the now closed thread on MP-13 did jog my memory that my last order through Robotkingdom.com came in an MP-12T shipper also decked out in Hasbro's usual print. It also says, "T/F MP-12T TIGER TRUCK" on the box. Apparently it held six of them.

    The price for the MP-12T seems to fluxuate on eBay. But, because of the limited run, the price may eventually jump up.

    As for Sideswipe, I have good news, a seller has three available at the price of just $110 Buy It Now which includes free shipping! Wish I had seen this, as I just bought one for $120.

    Since Sideswipe has been given a second release, who knows when the price will stay this low?
