Wonder if there'll be any Japan exclusives in the EZ Collection this time out. Those damaged versions of Prime and Megs in wave 2 were the business!

Anybody else worried about the lack of Device Label Broadcast on that list?

You were able to get them?
Ebay or elsewhere?

Robotkingdom had the entire second wave up for pre-order - I got my set in the post just after Christmas. Being a UK fan, it was a good deal for me, as I'm yet to see Wheelie, Soundwave etc at retail over here. So the only toy in the wave I already owned was Grindor.
Of course, because these guys are blindpacked, Robotkingdom had to open the boxes to check I had the full set, so it's not so good for the MISB collectors.

"Transformers Movie MR-01 Jet Power Optimus Prime 6,800Yen"
Hey, this is the price of a Leader Class in Japan... whereas voyagers are about 3,800Yen.
What does it mean? Maybe a new, movie accurate Jet Power OP?

well, it can be just the prime+jetfire 2 pack. The reason is the 2 pack technically is Asian version. Jap is not getting that at the moment

I assumed it was referring to that Mega Power Bot thing, no? The one that makes all the sounds and stuff that doesn't actually transform and has the flip-out wings?

I don't think this is the 2 pack. Buster Optimus Prime is 7,800Yen alone, whereas this Jet Power OP is 6,800Yen (the price of a regular leader class toy such as OP, Megatron, Jetfire).
Maybe it is the MegaPower Bot but I have one doubt:
RotF Mega Power Bot Optimus Prime & RotF Mega Power Bot Devastator were realeased in Japan last year (price 4,800 Yen) so I can't see why this new item is labelled MR-01, and not MR-03 or 04 for example, if it is from the same line.
Any idea?
I know it is almost impossible, but I still hope it is something new, maybe a new movie accurate Jet Power OP at scale with the Fallen.
I am crossing all my fingers...

Okay, so we now have some clues about MR-01 and MR-02, thanks to a translation of the pre-order pages up at Toys R Us Japan.
Apparently, MR-01 is a (leader class? maybe voyager?) Optimus Prime with add-on 'Jetfire' parts to give a more film-accurate Power-Up look for Prime's robot mode. Although the Jetfire parts do not combine into either a robot or a plane, they can attach to truck mode (to make a 'flying truck') or combine into a gun.
And the MR-02 Megatron is a more movie-accurate Voyager-class Megatron. Maybe just a new paint job, maybe a retool. Hopefully they'll be able to do something about that horrible back kibble.
