Awesome. I hope A-E gets theirs in soon.

I'm leaning towards keeping Bombshell at the moment but if I change my mind and you haven't managed to get one elsewhere I'll let you know. If you give me an idea of what you'd be willing to pay I can also keep a look out for one when I'm browsing various sites.

Ah ya git!!! lol
I'm hoping to pay no more than £70 really.
Just gutted I never got Kapows Email about the issue so I could re-order
He was under £60 delivered from them

Here's the MP11 KO's,



I really like Sunstorm and even Acid Storm looks decent without all those Minecraft patterns all over it. The price that's been touted is about $100 each so if the build quality is good and the costs for getting them shipped to the UK don't jack the price up too badly there's no reason to even consider paying official prices for any version of that mold again as the Coneheads will undoubtedly get the same treatment.

Most of the TV shows I watch regularly are on their mid season breaks right now so I'll probably go through all of the G1 episodes as I've had fun watching a few clips on Youtube.

The one possible financial drawback from finally getting to see the later series is that it might mean I start getting the itch to get figures from them....and I already really like Make Toys Hardhead.

Oooh those KO's look pefect & if the price is right would be great for me to replace my MP-03 with at last

G1 is great post Movie not so fun but the final 3 Headmaster episodes are actually my fave episodes since Season 1 if I'm honest

Lol I can see you getting Cupola & Iron Will in a heartbeat when you see the HM episodes
Will make you appreciate the Target Master elements of X-Transbots Scourge & Cyclonus too

I'm glad I pre-ordered Ravage. Unfortunately I have a few too many Transformers....I'm afraid I have to sell my Scourge, Starscream, and Megs.

The smaller size figures are easier to display.

Oooh which Scourge & Megs?
I could be interested if they are the X-Transbots & price is right

Sooo got my FT Merc today & he is a thing of beauty.
So much weight & quality to him the Diecast really adds to the feel & I definitely couldn't see Takara making a better version down the line






Obviously now it makes the fact that I don't have Grenadier in the collection even worse lol

Now bring on Forager!

[Spanbauer]

good pictures he`s almost mp size maybe they can make some lifts for him to make him mp size or something

Thanks! I believe Takara-Tomy intended for him to be MP size already. The cartoon was so absurdly inconsistent with his size relative to the other robots, but Unite Warriors Devastator is certainly in the ballpark based on many scenes. I only collect Masterpiece and Devastator here sits right alongside them as my only exception.

Regarding the seeker KOs, my understanding is that those pics are NOT of the KOs themselves, but of the Takara versions - I don't think we have seen anything as of yet - it is not even confirmed that they will be MP scale, although it wouldn't make sense if they were not.

The official seeker mold is so freakin' problematic, I can't imagine how bad a KO of it would be.

Makes a change to be called something for reasons other than my preference of Transformer

Hope you're able to get one for £70 or a bit less, I got all my FT Insecticons for £55 each plus shipping as I got in on the early bird option TFS-Express had.

Glad you like Shrapnel, I've removed all the insect legs off the back of mine as it makes it look a bit cleaner and I'm not likely to transform it again unless I decide to do a pic of all 3 in bug mode once Kickback ships in which case I can pop them back on easily enough.

I've seen all of series 1 & some of series 2 so far, it's not the best looking cartoon ever but there's still plenty of fun to be had and I'm glad I bought the set as it's been intresting seeing most of the episodes for the first time and spotting the episode specific extras that have come with the various MP figures in my collection.

The numerous animation/dubbing errors provide a bonus laugh, amongst other things I've seen yellow Cliffjumper, toy colored Bluestreak,two Starscreams talking to each other, Soundwave speaking with Megatron's voice, 6 Reflector bots in one shot and Devastator with a face that changed design within the same sequence

One thing that's stood the test of time is Soundwave's voice, it's still awesome after all these years.

Isn't he fantastic? Really haven't been able to leave that set alone since I got it in December. Here are some of the pics I took last month:

yeah he's def a big mofo! your pix finally pushed me over the edge to pick him up! really cool in combined mode! love how big he is... and for $125 i paid for the set... really couldn't beat the price.

i like a couple of the add-on sets that are coming out... one thing i hated was the cheesy hand on such a large figure...
so i made my own!

 

[toyrewind]

Anyone know how many days does it take for the package to arrive from HLJ to the U.S. using SAL as the shipping option? I still haven't received my orders yet and afraid it got lost or stolen.

A Masterpiece Hot Rod or two have leaked out of the factories. Not much to see yet, but the speckled paint on the grey legs looks beautiful.

Just for ****s and giggles, I ordered a second MP Star Saber from them and chose SAL. It took about 45 days to get from HK to NY. Definitely not worth the ~$10 or so I saved for opting out of EMS.

From HK? I thought it came from Japan? And 45 days?!

 

[Spark Extractor]

Just to chime in for a bit.

EMS = it gets on the plane and ships out asap

SAL = if there is room left it gets on and you can get it in a week, if not it gets bumped to the next 'available' shipment and can take 6-8 weeks.

After importing from overseas now for about 4 years, my rule is always use EMS in December/January/February because there is a huge volume in shipping for all the western and eastern holidays plus all the postal holidays/time off makes for a lot of congestion. This makes SAL shipments more likely to be bumped to the next and the next and the next shipment out.

2cents

It's my first time ordering from HLJ so should I expect it to arrive and not worry about it then? I can deal with the delays just not getting the package lost or stolen. BTW, they shipped it last Jan. 9.

Was it SAL or registered SAL? If it was registered SAL then you should have a tracking number that you can put into the USPS system (if you're in the US).

 

[toyrewind]

It's SAL but for my next orders, I'll go with registered SAL from now on.

Honestly, I wouldn't start worrying until the end of Feb. And yeah, if you are going to use SAL, definitely get registered so you can at least follow it.

That's just like the G1 toy transformation from the bottom!

TT is killing it this year, and it's only starting!

Can't wait!

There's a link here to a thread at TFW about some of those upgrades, thought I'd pass it on in case you still needed some info on who's making what,
