Thats a pretty awesome story and she's pretty smart to have gotten it there instead of other more advertized places which would end up more costly.

I really like your opinion so I look forward to knowing what you think of it!

I've taught her how to properly look around for good deals. She doesn't like transformers, but she likes to buy them for me.

I just got my notice that MP-28 has arrived at BBTS. Stateside retailers should be seeing these very soon! :DANCE:

Looks like BBTS haven't gotten in the coins yet because mine is still on preorder. What the hell? I want my Hot Rod!

Do the Asia editions (the ones with the coins) have the same release date as the Japanese editions?

He's from Singapore and he already received his. Amiami has just offcially released him two days before so more or less yes.

Ordered mine from BBTS today. Going to be posing him in some nice dual wielding gun stances.

Reminds me of a Russian folkdance da?

Unreal. Perhaps the most poseable MP yet? Also, the balance! :BOWDOWN:

How long does something stay in US customs on average? My Hot Rodimus is in customs in Chicago. It's been there since yesterday. I know I'm just being impatient.

Just shipped my Hot Rod with coin from BBTS. I should have him by the end of the week!

WOOOOOOOO!

It actually varies a lot. In a former job, we'd get stuff from over seas. Sometimes things would release from customs in a day or two. Once, it took more than two weeks... #-o

Less wait if no holidays.

While this doesn't help you feel any better. It helps me feel a little bit better. So, um, thanks! :-D

Sorry, Rodimus Prime, about 45 minutes after I posted this, I got notification that my MP-28 cleared customs. I hope yours gets out soon!

WOW, both MPs?! Woohoo, congrats man!

I am not sure about getting rodimus but for MP22 I have really decided that I am waiting for the Hasbro version. The shipping from anywhere is just too expensive for that big boy.

Thanks WJ! Yeah, I'm pretty excited. And I'll be angry with myself if a Hasbro version of either comes out. There's a chance I'll double-dip, if only for the readable (to me) packaging/instructions :lol:

I am 100% certain Hasbro will release both due to the fact that there are no extra licensing hoops to go through. They are also popular characters.

I know, WJ..I just don't want to think they will!! :lol:

I was thinking about it..why IN THE WORLD doesn't Has/Tak release the SAME DANG colorways of the figures in all markets?! It'll save money in the long run, right?! Maybe? Probably not..

So anyway, Hot Rod is gonna show up here in colors like his TRU MP, and Magnus is gonna have red pants and a different shade of blue.

I think its fun we have these options. People can then pick and choose what they want. So they want their seeker wings to all have symbols reversed or not? Fun stuff like that.

And I am pretty sure Magnus wont have red pants.

Also, For Silverstreak, Prowl and Acid Storm, there were no differences between them in terms of colours used. So, sometimes it does happen that they have the same dang colourways. Also happened for the reissue of G1 Predakig, the Universe micromaster combiners, the TRU exclusive RID figures and half of the animated line.

I'm just glad MP-28 is nice and magenta like Hot Rod should be. I remember when we first got the DVD of Transformers the movie from Sony, I was adverse to the magenta Hot Rod. But more and more I really like it. It's more interesting than the burgundy of the G1 toy and most Hot Rod/Rodimus toys.
