ALL THINGS TRANSFORMERS!!!!

[bicoid18]

Thanks..I guess I am looking for a reasonable price plus good company..semi fast shipping. I saw RobotKingdom has it for like $58..but I heard it takes forever to recieve them.

I haven't gone with them recently, but I've always had excellent service with BBTS. I'm sure Captured Prey will add more later on though.

Nice weathering job Arafat! The LEDs make him look cool! Do they work in alt mode too?

Just got Red Alert today! Wasn't as excited as when I first got Sideswipe. But having him in hand, I have to say he looks great! The colours on him just pop, more so than Sideswipe. I got a few sloppy paint blotches, and the panel lines don't look as crisp as SS though. But for a repaint and slight retool, I have to say I'm really impressed with him! He really has a look that's distinct from SS. I'm glad I jumped in on him while the price was decent.

I do have a MAJOR gripe though...

Total waste of an alt mode.

Might as well given him this instead.

Ive found quite the opposite. RobotKingdom is the fastest I have used. Im in the middle of the US and my RK orders get to me weeks before BBTS ,TFsource,and captured prey. However if your in the US and have a problem with your order its best to use the latter stores. Dealing with returns to RK just straight sucks.

No problem! These are stunning arent they!? You guys both on the all or nothing train for the MP line?

Edit: So the new MP order is now MP17 Prowl, MP18 Bluestreak and MP19 Smokescreen. Confirmed by Captured Prey.

No, I'm not really all or nothing. I get those that meant something to me as a kid watching the G1 cartoon and the movie in the 80s. That's why I got all the MPs from MP-8 onward except MP-14 Red.

I never liked Red as a character, so I didnt feel the need to get him. I hear he's rare now and prices are going up. But I dont really care for him.

But the new MPs from 15-19 will all be mine I've preordered the cars from RK already!

 

[koolkollectibleskhai]

Oh, and Furyan, I notice that you missed uploading one pic from the Amazon JP site!! It's the high-res pic of Sideswipe, Prowl, and Bluestreak in bot mode with MP-10 Prime!!! It's a great pic! Can you upload it? I dont know how to attach pics that show in the post and not a thumbnail!

 

[Furyan]

Oops here you go.

Cool. I was the same way at first but got the MP bug bad!! This is the only thing I collect nowadays with a couple of Hot Toys a year so Im focused on completing the line from MP10 on. Gave up on the idea of getting doubles of everything except the MP's I gotta have in both modes. So far I have/po'ed MP10,11,11T,12,13,18,19 X2 and 1 each of Mp14,15,16,17. Love this line to death. I wonder how far they will dig into G1,could we possibly get most of everything from series 1-4 in MP form? It almost frightens me....but in a good way!

Yep pretty much.

I'm only missing the recolours & MP-04 for my collection.

I have everything else either in hand or on order.

Only 2 are non Takara releases (MP-01 as he was available for cheap in my local TRU & MP-03 Starscream is the Walmart Cartoon colour version)

I do also have the iGear mini warriors Seaspray & Huffer & I'll be getting Gears at least but probably go the whole hog & get the twin packs for them so I can Beachcomber & the recolours of Hench & Gears

I missed out on iGear Iron Hide & Ratchet & at the current prices doubt I'll get them but hoping that maybe Takara do them as well based on how awesome they are at the mo.

Nice! So have you been collecting since the official start of the line? I got in late in the game myself,I believe it was when MP09 was announced. I picked up MP1L,MP02,and MP03 which cost me a fortune at the time. I have faith The van bros will be released. I just wonder if they will stay true to the G1 toy or go with Igears approach. Id prefer something like Igear's. Only time will tell.

Pretty much.

I got my Hasbro MP-01 for my 30th Birthday back in 2007 from my parents & after that I've been buying every release as it came out.

Got a result on my MP-05 as it had a slightly damaged box & only cost me £90 delivered

MP-03 was a little late as I wasn't sold on the original Takara colour so I waited & luckily enough they did the Walmart exclusive & so ordered that instead.

Having said that looking back I may have been a little misleading...my MP10 is the Hasbro release & I haven't seen the need to update my Starscream with MP11 or get Sunstorm so I am missing a couple more but I'm happy with what I have so far.

Yeah hopefully Takara take the same approach with the vans as iGear, I think the G1 animations models will be too fiddly for MP if they come as seperate pieces with the removable battle stations.

I'd be more than happy with iGear inspired ones.

I'm about to get caught up soon. This stuff is too good to pass up!


BTW, judging by those high def photos, Takara has a very slight correction to make on Prowl. Even if they didn't change "Patorol", it's impossible not to get him!

Bumblebee better be in the works... Get Merkel on the phone now!

Yeah, I think Obama needs to start putting pressure on Germany for this one. The shots w all 3 cars...really like a dream come true.
