    RobotKingdom has shipped my MP-57 Jetfire! It has begon (the anxious waiting!). I love MP-56 Trailbreaker, but Jetfire is on another level!
    I urgently need to free up a lot of shelf space though; it was already getting crowded when Shouki and Getsuei came along, and Trailbreaker is still getting hands-on time…

    Mine’s shipped with the coaster. That 10% discount certainly helped. Here we go!

    Arghh! Really want to watch this but also really don't want to spoil the magic for when I get him. Instead, I'm skipping through it, half watching.

    It's going to be nice having an MP that I enjoy transforming. It's been quite a while.

    Love how Takara takes the time to add superficial details and paint that you only see for a second during transformation or perform a certain action.

    Hopefully this sold well enough, that if they have to put another " iffy" figure up as a TTMallexclusive, they feel comfortable doing it.

    Thats all I needed to hear. I assume they can reduce the import declaration so you can avoid tax?

    Yep, you can request your own package value. I asked them to mark the value of the package at US $50.

    Question for those that use TCP . Is there a way to apply your points to your preordered item ? If so , can you explain how ? I have enough points built up where I don’t even need to use actual currency.

    Thanks!
    Looking at the transformation again, the arms ARE actually folding away into the jet "backpack" and lining up directly with the thrust nozzles.
    So, I'd say they're technically part of the flight capability afterall - and that's why I love this MP57
    over the unofficial Skyfires because this one adheres to the onscreen transformation while
    the others use the forearms to form part of the front fuselage/nosecone; So in their case, the robotmode
    is detached from the flight capability.
