Just got my shipping message too!

I've also rearranged my Masterpiece display to add a second shelf for series 1 characters which will be occupied by Wheeljack and the Dinobots

YAY Wheeljack buddies again

Nice change around there

I'm in 2 minds about some orders.
Sold some odds & sods & I have a bit of paypal money sitting begging to be spent

I don't know if I should pay up my Magnus & 'Bee orders, splurge on Scoria, pre-order Soar or the Eva MP10 Prime (Or asia re-release MP10) or get something 3rd party combiner

It's a real hard call but I don't want to do what I normally do & waste it on crap...it's already dwindled thanks to some silly purchases as it is

Time to start looking me thinks

Man he looks awesome!!

Wish I had the money to go in for a combiner, there are SO many amazing options now.

It's been a while since I did one of these retrospective looks at my original G1 TF collection. But I thought I'd get back into it with a look at the seekers I still have. Hope you can check it out

 

[DPrime]

Hmm, no shipping from Anime-Export yet... Are they the last to get things in, or something?

In other news, I got in my order for Star Saber, finally... Next on the list, Omnigonix Spinout (whenever that goes on preorder) and PROBABLY Badcube's Brawn and Outback...

I'll do a pic of my updated display once WJ arrives, the series 1 lineup is really taking shape now.

I've done that before, random stuff has a habit of saying "buy me!" and Paypal funds soon vanish

Hey Corsair, I think we probably talked about this earlier, but what are your thoughts on Badcube's Brawn and Outback? I can't remember if you were in for them or not (assuming QC is good, of course).

I've still got Bumblebee and FT Snarl to pre-order but will be keeping an eye out on the early reviews of Brawn and Outback as I'm definitely intrested in them.

I think the realistic alt mode works way better than I expected and although not entirely accurate to the G1 animation model in some areas ( mainly the legs ) I think the proportions of the robot mode work really well with Brawn as it gives him the build of a power lifter which is perfect for the character.

I also like the cue they've taken from Takara with Outback's retooling and think he looks great, he'll go very nicely with Smokescreen, Red Alert and Powerglide on my "season 2 and beyond" shelf.

Despite the paint issues I still think their Huffer has one of the strongest designs of any Masterpiece style recreation of a G1 character so far so if the QC is sufficiently improved for these two then I think they'll be excellent.

Might sound daft but log in on AE & check.
I had a friend who has his Wheeljack on order with them & hadn't seen anything from them but logged in yesterday & it was ready to ship but he had to manually move it to ship the order.

Might be the same with yours??

Awesome can't wait to see it.
Lol it's all too easy to do.

Really need to make my mind up quickly lol

Hmm, sounds like we're on the same page (again!). I will probably end up preordering... My Huff actually turned out alright so I imagine these will too, especially since they'll be taking into account what happened with a lot of the Huff figures.

Ah, that did the trick. Thanks!

Love that they sculpted transformers animated's wheeljack s face under g1 wheeljack mouth plate.

Awesome little bit of detail most people will never see.

 

[karamazov80]

I paid HLJ for my Wheeljack today. Should be shipping soon!

 

[soundwave]

No worries man, glad it was ok.

Seems weird that you have to do that though, my last orders from AE I never had to do anything like that, they just shipped it.

Hope he arrives soon for you

Is anybody ordering one of those "loose" 2nd version MP09's?

They are Takara made, don't really know where they came from, but a lot of TF sites say that they are legit. Got one from ebay, seller has excellent feedback, and it's already shipped. I guess I got nothing to loose.... Right?

I'm curious about those too...surprised no ones mentioned it.

But...hahha..I wanna get a MISB one man...but the prices are just ludicrous. Seriously, any word on a re-release???

Yeah, prices on MISB Roddy have skyrocketed.

Luckily, I have my old 1st version box with inserts, so this "100% complete, loose MP09 2nd version" works great.

I'll do a mini review once I get it for those interested. Chinese seller has already shipped it and it's left China based on that tracking number.

I hope I don't get a pair of used shoes.

Shoes?? You're expecting too much. Ten bucks says you got a bunch of crumpled up newspapers and a rock.
