ah, it's VERY EXPENSIVE because olokin and me (and Auto Bot too) live in the tropical islands of the Philippines. i also order online, over eBay US, but in most cases the shipping is twice or thrice the actual cost i pay for the figure. thus my very small collection of TFs.

plus, sometimes the shipping schedule gets delayed and it's a play on the nerves waiting for your shipment to arrive or not, especially in our country where customs are generally lousy. even with insurance, it's not a guarantee that you'll be receiving your order or not.

then there's the exchange rate at 47 Pesos - 1 US dollar. ouch...

The foreign shipping will kill me. Customs can be a problem too. I don't want my toy kept my customs. i hate dealing with gov't offices, theres a big chance I have to bribe someone just to release the figure.

Quite right.
But i'll pose MP Skywarp in airplane mode when i get him.

You gonna put on the decals on him too?

Are these decals included in the MP Skywarp package? Or are we talking about separate purchase of decals?

Included[/quote]

I'll have to think about that first.

I would like to maintain the plane's realism. If the decals don't affect the plane, i may try it.

But generally, i prefer toys with painted or molded design. Not stickers. That's why Classics and Movie series are very appealing to me.

If you find a way to deliver the goods... online will be much cheaper than local shops here.

I have 20th Anniv. Prime from the 04 release and just got Skywarp yesterday at my comic shop. Waiting for Megatron to arrive so I can pick him up aswell.

I'm also going to get DVD color Prime since well..I like Prime and it wouldnt hurt to get another Prime for my collection and such.

If you're a fan of Generation 1 or 2, then pick up any of these as we know you you will not regret it. Wal-Mart is getting G1 Screamer while Skywarp is out now and Thundercracker is on his way to the being made stage.

Thundercracker? They're gonna make an MP Thundercracker?

Black F-15 is just about as close as possible to the true F-15 jet.

I wonder how a blue F-15 will be treated.

I agree.
