    Oh, they’re definitely going to cause an earthquake at my house after the wife finds out where I “invested” our retirement funds.

    “Honey, I put it into cassette tape technology. It’s due to make a comeback, right?”

    Still no firm date when I asked Omegalock (UK version TFS Express). No pay balance option either, until the date is firmed up.

    I wonder if RP still deciding on how much to increase the final price by :rolleyes:

    I'm a bit late to the party. Can anyone direct me to a pre-order?

    TFS-Express China does.

    They've obviously come at it differently on the sites, but I don't think RP are holding back the price. It's $165 including the deposit on TFS-Express.

    Omegalock should be that plus postage plus 20% vat, basically.

    Omegalock does too - £150 - but its "out of stock" so impossible to add to cart to pay the balance off.

    In fact, its the same for every FT pre order...and they are the only company you can't pay a full pre order up front for.

    Which is unusual.

    Because MP-13 has terrible, terrible hips and hipjoints? I've never put my MP-13 in any other pose that standing straight because it looks dumb with where the leg bends forward and that hip joint scares me.

    But I will put all the toy elements on Acoustic wave: all the detail panels and the toy head with the glorious yellow eyes. (Just wish he wasn't white-ish, but silver grey like the G1 toy.)

    I do hate that he comes with Frenzy. Why? Buzzsaw would've made more sense (G1 toy). But I'd rather wish he didn't come with any cassette then have a second three pack with Buzzsaw, Frenzy and either Ratbat or the drone. And then a 3rd cassette pack for whatever's left.

    Ah, didn't check theirs. They've done that recently with FT stuff, but only very recently.

    Yes. Never get excited to see and want to share something here again unless u search the entire thread to make sure someone else didnt post it first.
    On a side note...this is expensive, my mp-13 was cheaper and came with more cassettes, i cant find a po, does anyone know where i can get it, does anyone know how much itll be, how tall is it, how come it doesn't come with buzzsaw, the toy came with buzzsaw.

    Nope no repetitive posting here. No sir

    Forgot that the first week of October is Golden Week in China, so those of us who bought from Chinese sellers overseas will probably get this end of next month .... :(

    I appreciated that post because I wanted to watch FT Jarvis build Acoustic Wave again.

    Not everyone knows to check if someone else has posted something first because we’re not all news credit junkies like you and @ThatGuyCalledBlaster.

    I understand that. Though, it's not like there were already several pages. It's just on the page before and people have been discussing it.

    My thoughts are that Buzzsaw, Overkill, Slugfest and Ratbat come with RP 01B Acousticblaster :D

    Kind of crazy how reliable FT has become with their release dates.

    I think my friend figured it out, its lack of definition/contrast around the faceplate and the parts to the left and right of his face.
    Hopefully in person looks better.

    He really will do anything for a news credit!

    Damn it though and joke aside… I like that guy. Hope he’s okay.
