    There’s a store called Taobao Focus. They’re legit. They’ll help you find stuff on Taobao and charge a respectable fee. Be sure to lump a whole bunch into one order. Have fun buddy :)

    There’s a lot on there but some things you’ll need to know someone on the inside to get early :p

    Got a link to these on Taobao? I need the pins for MPs 18+, 44, 45, and 47. I ordered my MP figs from Amazon Japan, but of course Amazon Japan doesn’t include pins and coins with their MP sales.

    And does anyone know if MP+ Wheeljack has a pin or coin? The original MP Wheeljack had a coin, but I’m not aware of the +version of Wheeljack coming with a coin or pin. Also, how hard or easy is it to buy stuff from Taobao and ship to the U.S.?

    sorry but i've found that to be useless
    ive spent a full hour trying to find even ONE Of these pins
    can either search for one single term like MP45 and get tons of results but not be able to go to page 2
    OR
    search for multiple terms like MP45 MP13 MP44 and get zero result.
    this is consistently true on engtb and superbuy and even on taobao proper after i stumbled through their registration.
    a direct link would be helpful.
    i dont really understand why its being treated like a secret that non-cn speakers have to run a labyrith to find.
    if you ahve a link or a search term that will actually match without generating zero or infinte results then PLEASE share it.

    I don’t know about HolyCulture, but I never saw it as some secret. I just search on taobao proper and I go through the hits. Anyways, the last seller sold out. I just searched now and this guy has MP18+, 44, 45, 46. 44 is around USD $22 and the rest are $7:

    thank you.

    even knowing the title of that listing i cant find it via search on superbuy, engtb, tb focus or directly on tb - only via that direct link.
    it doesnt even show up on the sellers store listing. 1-19 of 19 items shows only 9 total.
    something really wrong at taobao.

    Can anyone locate a MP32 Primal coin for me? I'm late to the party on that figure, and like my figures to have all of the accessories.

    So I finally decided to commit to cases and stands for my MP cards, so those are on the way.

    My plan is to have 2 copies of each MP figure I want, 1 displayed in bot mode and 1 in alt mode with it's card there as well.

    However now I wonder how I should display the coins/pins. Should I get just a stand? A case + stand? Is it too much clutter for each display and should instead focus on a separate one that shows all the coins/pins?

    MP-20+ wheeljack has no known bonuses or extras. If anything is designed is another story. But nothing has been seen or acknowledged.

    I feared as much. Weird, though...MP+ Prowl and MP+ Sideswipe both got new coins, while MP+ Bluestreak got a pin, but MP+ Wheeljack gets neither a new coin nor pin. :(

    I'm probably too late on this, but does anyone have the link to Beast Wars Megatron coins on any of the Chinese store sites? Like Taobao or Aliexpress. Thank you!

    Sucks, I'll need to track down the pins for both Hound and Bumble Bee. Prime I'm not really concerned about as I have the MP-10 coin I'll display with that.
