I got mine from a store called Movie Replicas located in Lucky Plaza on Orchard Road, i paid 139.99 singapore dollars which converts to £47. its not too bad but that store overcharges for everything. I decided to get MP megs from them because all the other places were sold out and in the end £47 for MP megs still beats £50 for 20th anniversary prime in england.

there was a good store i went to called The Falcons Hanger in Far East Plaza located on Scotts Road which is off Orchard road, the guy there was genuinely helpful he even told me when i was looking at loose KO's and didn't try to sell them off as the real ones (he has the full size devastator and Swoop KO's as well as others). he had the best price for MP megs which was 110 singapore dollars, which converts to £37. but he had none in stock and didn't know when he would be getting anymore.

there are about 3 anime/manga/ action figure related stores in Far East Plaza so i would say head there first, get the shop plan layout from the information desk and find the hobby shop section. i think that they are on 4th and 5th floors but not 2 sure.

Megs came out in singapore on the 29/03/07 and i got mine on 30/03/07 and in 1 day every where was sold out so i hope your parents have better luck finding him when they go there.

Hope that helps :)


wow Star Jammer,

didn't realize you guys from the UK came all the way down to SG (short for Singapore of course) just to get transformers?!

fantastic pics by the way & i know the shop you mentioned where you got your MP-5 coz the shop's located in the same building as my mom's shop! talk about a small world.

& you're also right about The Falcon's Hangar... great place to check out TFs.

& there's another place you guys should check out if ever down in SG & that is China Square Central (or CSC for short). i got my MP-5 from CSC.

quite a few independent toy shops within CSC & a few are pretty good to enquire about TFs as well. that place is also super crowded on Sundays because that's when they'd have flea markets going on & people will put their wares up for sale there.

if ever it's possible, maybe there's some chance the TF fans from overseas can meet up with the TF fans we have here in SG.

5 mmore minutes pass: Aww the scope doesn't work. But it does glow red. How do I keep the light on, hmm

2 More min: Damn, Megs has some long spindly legs. Kremzeek is frickin awesome.

Too friggin' intricate of a transformation. Ugh. I hate that in all honesty.

Past a certain point, it goes from "Wow cool" to "Oh for God's sake...."

This one seems to go well beyond both.

Says "In Stock". But also says, "Due to United States Toy Gun Laws, it is illegal to import MP-05 Megatron due to it not having an orange blaze safety tip on the end of the gun barrel."...So what's the deal?

I just love how so many people misinterpret this as an homage to g1 meg's toy head. Its not people. its part of the transformation to hide the head.

You mean to hide the head in gun mode?

Well, several transformers have helmets or visors or some such...

Never made sense to me if the helmet/visor is so much stronger or more protective why not just have it as their head? call it an upgrade or something...

Heh, I agree with you.

Obvious answer: gimmick.

Practical answer: In most cases, wearing a helmet reduces visibility, so for some, being able to avoid the helmet when not in battle would be beneficial. Now, this applies to humans. Robots?...

Ive heard of orange tip versions for the Masterpiece edition and reissue book collection one, but have yet to see any pictures of said modification. Any body know where to look?

I'm still hoping to see a pic of Megs with the orange cap on....just to see how bad it ruins the figure. If it's not too bad, I won't bother messing with trying to track down a capless fgure.

I like the g1 head homage idea, i swear it looks just like it :-? . kind of a convenient place to put it as they could have just let megs' head slide into the main chest piece.

about the difficulty of transforming compared to MP starscream, i don't actually own MP screamer coz i'm waiting for an anime style version because i don't like the colour scheme but anyway i can't comment on that.

lets just say that if i didn't have the manual pics for megs, i would never be able to get him in gun mode.

glad you guys enjoyed the pics, i don't get to contribute much because we don't get many exclusives or transformers before the rest of the world in the UK but now and then i get a little something my way which i like to share. I'll let Ryan take care of the professional photography from here on. MP megs is definately worth the wait :)

I recieved my unmodified MP Megatron last friday it only took 3 days to get here from Hong Kong. I highly recommend robotkingdom.com no problem with US customs at all.
