    Guys, this might be my most anticipated MP since 44. I’m so excited to have this giant in hand. I’m almost thinking about paying TCP to ship faster

    Payed mine off the other day, incase I get a medical emergency when I go to the dentist next month. Popped a veneered tooth biting on something that it loosened it up and its just now starting to stiffen back up. Hopefully it will be back to normal by then.

    Should release on Saturday. Usually last Saturday of the month. Not seen anything to contradict that for Skyfire. Hoping we see stock in at Omegalock shortly afterwards...

    Think the largest their ever go is UW Dev height, but a MP Metroplex with a ton of minifigures, scamper and sixgun figures and gimmicks would be pretty wow.

    At this point actually releasing Jazz would be a WOW!!

    It could ship any day now from Hong Kong distributors but it’s less than a week for most of us! Woo!

    I just started getting interested in this figure and had two questions that I'm sure have been talked about at length. The first is, how come I don't seem to be able to find any of the typical Japanese sellers for about 20% off of retail like you usually do for most Masterpiece figures? In the second question I have is whether or not there is a possibility of a waist swivel in this figure.

    Those swiveling parts functionality? Try checking up YouTuber wotofa. he got an early sample review vid. As for the usual 20% off JP sales tax, MP Skyfire is a direct TTMall release in Japan and not a main retail release. Of course, in Asia, via Hb Asia Tsim Tsa Tsui in Hong Kong etc etc. Not sure if Hb Pulse is carrying him.

    Even then, his American price at around $268 I believe is pretty good.

    Not swivel due to transformation, but an atipical ab crunch
