Lovely pictures. It's a shame people can't post their opinions about a toy in a thread dedicated to a discussion on that toy without being accused of negativity or nitpicking, though, especially when those opinions have been expressed in a measured and reasonable way.

Thanks! I've been waiting to recreate this ever since Tracks was announced, too. And despite my reservations about how he feels to handle, Tracks does look damn good on display, as the colour scheme is beautiful.

 

I'm not that keen on the paint job. I'd prefer it if it was more matt.

 

Fantastic pic but it highlights everything I dislike about Bumblebee. Bluestreak and Tracks look like someone pulled them out of that screenshot......Bumblebee? Nope. Fed him 73 pies first and told him to pull a fish face whilst ripping out his forearm innards.

 

Heh heh, you know I don't agree with you there.  

 

Wow. That's a very powerful story, and that took courage to share. Thanks for sharing that. It's amazing what can connect us to various characters or figures: a fond reminder of childhood days gone by, memories of a loved one, formative experiences. You have it all with Tracks. Thanks for sharing and I'm glad that you have the figure in hand.

 

These are some of the coolest poses I've ever seen. You got some serious skills Type-R

 

^You're kidding, of course?  

^Awesome! Those air borne poses.  

 

Yup pls check yr email today. If there's no email quickly check yr AE account to see if there's any update on your order status.

 

HLJ are offering a great price for this piece. Minimum price of 6880 yen (inc. shipping) to the UK or US.

 

Oh come on, live alittle, dude!  

GET MP Tracks!  

 

Think I am going to have to pose him like that. Amazing!

 

That second pic is one of the best MP poses I've ever seen. If I decide to use the flight stand I may have to steal it. Great work!

I love MP Bumblebee. I think the Datsun mold is the best carbot and may be the best MP over all, but among carbots I think MP-21 may be my second favorite.

Just sayin'  

 

Everyone is too busy freaking out over AE.

Or no one one in this thread has ordered from N-Y.

when preorders came out the shipping was higher with N-Y and a few other places because they said the box was larger. But it isn't so I've asked 3 times now if anyone has seen a reduction in shipping charge for those that paid shipping up front on a preorder.

Thanks in advance...I hope.

 

my best friend pretty much had the same childhood as you. i went to a private school and everyone had basically all the transformers while i only had a few. skids being one of them. i never had an attachment to tracks but always thought he looked cool. i bought the generations one and he was cool but a bit fat. mp bumblebee made me fall in love with mp minibots. i thought he was horrible till i bought one. it's all the simplicity of a minibot with the high end quality of a mp. those are the 2 things i look for. the datsun mold is definitely the best. not even a contest. fun to transform. not overly complicated. very g1. looks absolutely stunning. feels very solid. very versatile. inexpensive. i have a bunch of that mold since i did some customs with it too. and i really hate forums that jump on any criticism. gamefaqs is like that. i don't want to hear a bunch of bullshit reviews. i want to hear real opinions.

 

Huh, it turns out those ankles are nowhere near as gappy when you don't miss a step in the instructions.  

 

I woke up this morning with it in my inbox so I guess that means today in Japan or yesterday, lol.

 

That was a touching story, thank you for sharing!!

 

Tracks is very awesome. It feels like a step up from the previous MP releases, especially the ratcheting elbows and knees. The one niggle I have is that the autobrand on his chest rotates very loosely.

 

yeah that's pretty good.. AE's early bird pricing total equiv is about $53.. 6880 is about $55. So that's awesome for released pricing.

 

I paid 39 euro which is 41 dollars
