    Anyone know of any shops or independent sellers that will be selling MP36 with easily removable plugs (b/c not all of us are morons that would point the toy at a police officer)? HLJ just responded to my email saying they are GLUING the plugs in instead of using the removable friction plugs from the last MP Megs. That's very disappointing news to me IMO.

    Yes there are a couple of US online store that are selling Megs without the plug, however they are currently sold out now so you'll need to watch out for their restock. I would recommend you ask this in the MP Megatron thread in the news section.

    Yes! He's coming out in May and will have a stand for his gun mode and a mini Megatron to hold like mini gun that Shockwave got.

    Bucking the trend, I'll be blunt....there will never be a US release. Ever.

    Really? A friend of mine got it from HLJ and I don't think his had a plug on it.

    I got mine from Amazon Japan and it didn't have a plug on it either. I actually don't think I've seen any one post pictures of Megatron with a plug on it yet.

    I doubt individual retailers would spend the time and / or money to open each package and glue a plug on. That's just too tedious. Plus, who's to say that glue would ruin the toy in the long run. That's too much of a risk to take. You may want to ask again or contact them another way.

    Mine's on the way from HLJ. Prior to their getting stick, I got two emails from them aboutting fitting the barrel and suppressor with orange plugs.

    However they're applied, if at all, there'll be ways to remove them without ruining the toy.

    I think Kapow! Toys is selling him without the plug at all, though they are based in the UK and could be sold out by now.

    If they're based in the US they will unless if they want to risk a severe penalty.

    Amiami didn't do plugs on mine, and I got it four days after they shipped it with the second cheapest shipping. It was packed nice too, I recommend them.

    My MP36 Megs from Toy Dojo arrived yesterday without an orange plug on the barrel. It also came with the coin for the same price as BBTS without the coin.

    I received my MP Megatron today (He's awesome!) from Toydojo this afternoon and there wasn't an orange plug in the barrel. Toydojo is a US Seller too who offers free shipping on orders $150 or more.

    How much did you pay for the Amiami one (if you pre-ordered) b/c the price now can't be the price it was when it was a pre-order?
