ALL THINGS TRANSFORMERS!!!!

[Hydeous]

Are those reasonably priced in your part of the world, Mike?

Yup. surprisingly MP series arent doing so well here, but it seems they have dried up and i manage to get the last one at a steal. There are still plenty of sun storm MPs though. So dar i have MP 10 hasbro, sideswipe, and takara soundwave on PO.

I got the MP 10 from toysrus singapore. It was originally retailed for $269sing, but they recently gave a $69 discount. I got it for around $160usd. Thats almost double of what you guys paid right?

 

[soundwave]

So being as it's my birthday today I officially get my hands on these...

Will get some proper pics done during the week with Soundwave

But in the meantime they are awesome

MP Prime was initially $100 at Toys R Us in the states, but they increased the price to $120 after they realized what the demand level was. Nice find on Starscream. Color me envious! Your guys must be really slow getting those in though if you are still waiting on pre-orders for Sideswipe.

The netstore I use, just got Smokescreens for preorder, so I ordered 1

He got "ugliest" head (though it's not that bad) but I like his colors and IMO he could be the best looking one in alt mode. It is really nice that each of them (prowl. smoke and blue) have at least some differencies.

 

[karamazov80]

What store is that Solid? I'm on the lookout for a really good direct from Asia deal on this guy.

 

[Solid_Slug]

It is Belgian store Archonia.com Have done business with them from 2011. It is 79,75€ there.

Eek, that's way more than U.S. importers are even selling them for. Not surprising being a European retailer though.

Thanks buddy

I got sideswipe on retail. Jus soundwave on PO through anime export.

Wasnt MP 10 like $100 and there was a 20% disc when it was released back then? Nothing can beat that price.

Toys R Us always has crazy deals like that--20% off, buy one get one half off, etc. Problem is, anything reasonably popular won't last long when those promotions come up. I did take advantage of a 20% off promotion on Prime, but I got lucky because I bought him a week before it happened, then brought in the receipt for a refund. I only saw that one Prime ever on the shelf, so a good thing I didn't hesitate (though they were available briefly from the website as I recall).

Sorry, wrong thread.

Yup! My buddy called around the whole state and happened to find 2 right off the truck about an hour from me. They took the coupon no problem so I walked out with both for $171 total.

SCORE!! Happy birthday Neil!

Happy Belated Bday, Soundwave!

 

[DPrime]

Yeah, from me too!

I am getting 2 of 3 Datsuns...don't see the need to buy repaints and figures that just transform the same (as I always felt that way as a kid collecting them)...so thinking of just sticking with prowl and Streak

That's what I would do if I was only getting two. Something about those Season 1 'bots, I tell yeah.

But I've got Smokescreen coming as well.

Kinda disappointed with the news from the show, but I would love a MP Optimus Primal as Beast Wars was the show that got me hooked on Transformers.

From a Western perspective, Primal is the one on that list I could see being deserving of an MP figure, but the Telemocha version is just fine as far as I'm concerned.

When it comes to Beast Wars, I would rather see Dinobot on that list (about MP Sideswipe height would be perfect).

From TFWiki,

The first toy planned for the Binaltech/Alternators line was a Porsche 986 version of Jazz.

A prototype was made but Porsche refused the license stating.

"Transformers are not worthy of carrying the Porsche trademark. They are war machines and the toy line in no way represents the lifestyle and ideas which Porsche represents."

Has the worldwide economic slump resulted in such a fall in car sales that the VW Group has had to reconsider their position in order to be able to fully explore alternate avenues for making profit?

We'll know if MP20 is Jazz or Bumblebee.

I got a message today from the guy at TFW I'm getting iGear Cogz from saying his stock is on the way!

Nice. If it's jazz, they've got a VW Liscense, which means we will eventualy get Bee.

If it's Bee, then they got the VW Liscense, and we will eventually get Jazz.

I win either way

What car is Wheeljack?
