Looks like he's still available to preorder on NY though! They also under-declare value like AE. AE used to be my go to due to slightly less bad customer service feedback compared with NY, but their shipping rates have gone up quite a bit, so I first tried NY with MP-44 and that sailed into Norway just fine - I wondered if anyone might challenge the ridiculously low declared value for such a big heavy box, but no! I have 45 and 47 pre-ordered with them too and they will probably become my default as they have some really cheap but still pretty fast shipping options. They also do pay later if you like that.

 

Yep I definitely could've got it cheaper elsewhere. At the current exchange rate ¥16,789 works out to roughly £124. TFS-Express are offering it for £105.50 shipped using their reward scheme but I missed the deadline to cancel my AJ preorder so I'm stuck with it.  

 

Man who's excited for this guy?

 

Me me me!!!!

 

Yes but more so if they make a + version. Especially if it includes the gun and tarp.

 

I hope he's not delayed like BB. I'm not too bummed about Bumble (needed some wallet relief after MP-44), but a delay in Hound will make me sad  . I need a green Autobot!

 

Need my nuked wallet to rest.

 

I'm excited because it gets me closer to being done with my Ark crew collection. I'm not excited for him in particular.  

 

I love Hound. I did not get MP44. I wasn't going to get MP45 (I did end up ordering him) so not only do I love Hound, but he'll be my first new mold since Sunstreaker. By the time Hound comes out, I think it will be exactly 2 years

 

Most anticipated MP ever for me. Hound rules. He was my first Transformer. Long overdue.

 

I'm not letting myself get too excited, for fear he'll get delayed till next year.

 

I’m very excited for Hound! I enjoyed his (somewhat underrated) character in the cartoon and didn’t have the toy as a kid. The MP will not only give me a toy version that’s accurate to the show, but his color will be a welcome addition among all the primary colors that comprise current MP Autobot displays.

And I’m also excited for a larger-scaled Spike!  

 

My childhood involved the TFC G1 Hound reissue. Always pulled that sucker out to play with from an early age and I never lost a single accessory. This MP is a looooong time coming.

 

Yeah, it’s been a looooong 35 years!  

 

I’m excited to create that awkwardly angled shot of spike and Hound!

I am excited though. Hope it isn’t delayed like bee.

 

That is going to be first pose I put those two in! The key is going to be in making it look funny without making it look rapey...

 

I also had a Hound toy. But it was stiff and I lost it somehow. Both him, Devastator and Hot Rod are toys which I hope to experience again.

 

I didn’t realize that was you at first, man! I guess you are kinda Ratchet now with all the fixes.

Not sure that’s possible...

 

With MP-44 and Unicron, I feel poor Hound has been lost and forgotten. MP-47 lives in the shadows.
