I ordered mine off Ebay in April I think...hope the guy I dealt with is solid. Anyone know how long an order will exist in Ebay before it totally exits system and Paypal will not pay you back? That's what sucks about paying upfront .

I have gotten used to and expect these to be delayed. It doesn't come as a surprise to me.

Still says Aug in my HLJ order. so hopefully it's just one store? Either way it doesn't matter too much, we've waited over 6 months, whats another month.

yeeaahh... id never preorder anything off ebay. anyone correct me if im wrong, but i beleive you have one month after auctions end to report a problem or open a case. so if that time has lapsed and the thing hasnt even been released yet you could be SOL. that is of coarse if the seller is a d-bag.

I'm actually pleased about this. August is going to be horribly expensive.

Can't complain much, the delay is good for the wallet. Just hope Jack and Magnus don't come out within two months of one another. lol. That'll just be painful.

My favorite mp yet...delayed?

The time is almost nigh for fans to get their hands on the Masterpiece version of the resident Autobot inventor. According to site sponsor TFSource, MP-20 is scheduled for release in Japan on September 10. They expect him to be in stock about a week later. Get your wallets ready as MP-20 is released in 2 short weeks.

Yes! Yeeeessss! It's about to mine now!

Does anyone know if Wheeljack will have the black/opaque windshield or the smokey, more transparent one since both versions have been shown lately?

Finally! Can't wait to get him! It looks like it was worth the waiting.

'jack's back! If he were a fictional human, I'd see him as a cool Professor Emmet Brown, always deep into his next inventions and looking cool at the same time.

This means he must be close...

I believe that was coloured from Hasui's illustration:

Yeah, Masterpiece doesn't tend to use non-Japanese artists' artwork.

Do you mean as accompanying artwork?

Because in G2 Lambor's case, they definitely used Derek Yaniger's designs for the headsculpt!

Same with ths02 first edition Convoy with the black solar powered armor. It also sported 2 Yaniger style heads.

"Doesn't tend to" isn't the same as "doesn't ever". It just means that they don't make a habit of using artwork from non-Japanese sources. Lambor G-2 Ver. is a notable example of such rare instances in which they do. But all the main line releases seem to use Japanese artwork unique to those releases.

I know that's what you meant, I was just nudging the conversation from your point.
