    Just placed my Pay later preorder placed at Nippon Yassan for £112.89p shipped
    Chose the currency option as GBP.
    You also get 2 Discount points when you order Hound.
    I checked an exchange rate forecast or two and the pound is predicted to lose a little value against the Yen in the next coming months.

    Kapow has now listed him for £127.99 so NY seems like the best route for me to go, I'd advise my guys in the UK to put their preorders in now.

    Im definitely sure the hinge was not completely flushed down. You can see behind his head.
    Pretty sure they design it in some way both mode could work, so it has to be like that.

    You can say this 1000 times and it will not matter. Do not waste your energy, it is simply pointless. I don't think most of the comments asking about it are negative or "trollish" (such as @FTF76 ). But oh well.


    On as side note, somewhat reletad to this, I had a dream that I opened TFW and there was a new thread for MP Galvatron this morning.

    This is no joke, I would have called in sick and geek out with all of you all day long.

    It is miss-transformed, it is a likely mistake by the person that sets these up.

    It should not surprise you going forward, as it has become obvious that TT takes zero pride as far as how they present upcoming products at events, 90% of the time.

    Part of the Journey.

    I think it could even work so that the 'head torch' is only visible when the visor is flipped down, but it depends on if they can only paint a certain side of the hinge or not. It'll be a cool bonus if they can, but it's not a deal breaker.
    So in The Insecticon Syndrome he used it to make holograms? while in MTMTE he just uses it as a regular torch. Never change G1 cartoon :lol 

    I'm seriously considering scheduling my work so that I have a day off for when MP-44 is due to arrive. That's gonna need time.

    I'm sorry, you're saying I'm a troll ? Cause I'm not, I'm just new and I don't see any negativity in my comment besides not liking what I'm seeing of a figure I've already pre-ordered.
    Cheers.

    I went back on my word and pre-ordered this guy from AJ this morning. It’s not that I didn’t like the price or aesthetic...it’s just that I have a fair number of items in the pipeline already for this year. So, more of a mental limitation I was putting on myself than anything. But, there’s a nearly 6 month wait ahead of me, so, I’ll be glad I did it by the time he finally shows up. I can wait.

    The older I get, the easier it is for me to wait for things. This is something to look forward to...not to be rushed. At 42, I just want time to slow down...but I know it will be here before I know it. Life, I guess, is just a series of action figure pre-orders...:D

    Not at all, it is likely the way I worded it that made it confusing.

    I do not think you are a troll and you had a legitimate concern that I have just addressed by editing my post. Sorry about that.

    If I'm remembering correctly, in The Insecticon Syndrome Hound projected a hologram to trick the Insecticons into thinking he, Bumblebee, and Spike fell to their deaths over a cliff while they really hid behind a waterfall. 99% sure he was projecting it right out of that spot on his helmet.

    Definitely gotta blow off work for a full day when 44 arrives! Tbh, whenever a new MP arrives it usually trashes at least the afternoon haha.

    Not a bad idea for Prime. For the money I’m paying, I’ll want a good chunk of hours to really enjoy him.

    Awesome! It's one of the many things about G1 that I love, it's all part of the charm! I still wish Prowl came with half of a neon cage that they used to trap Ravage in the first three-parter (with the eventual Jazz coming with the other half). Love how any part of their body could become anything.

    Not only is he costing us a lot, but he's costing us in lost productivity too :lol 
    Worth it! :D

    While I won't be able to take off from work the day MP-44 arrives, I will likely be emotionally unavailable to my wife for several hours after my kids go to bed.

    I remember being young and ask for days off in three different occasions:

    MP 01.

    Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater.

    Metal gear Solid: Guns Of The Patriots.

    I look back and laugh, but you know what? Totally worth it.

    It's not that I'll be entirely emotionally available, but the 5 year old in me will be manning the controls :lol

    I know its probably mis-tranformed, but its a shame that there isnt a small magnet or something to help keep the head down. Hopefully it'll work better in hand.

    It needs a full redesign. What madman didnt have the head concealed in the bonnet. It's embarrassing.
