I go cheap n slow too, Cobo!

[Emerje]

Got mine preordweed from Amiami I believe for 17000 yen or $150

How much is shipping, generally? $20?

Based on weight, shipping method, and ultimatly exchange rate of the day. I used highest priority to ship Legends Ultra Magnus (CW mold) and it cost about $32 and at a time when exchange was really good. I'm sure Megs weighs more then UM did.

Edit: Since then I've honed my patience and take the cheap slow route.

I wonder what Megatron's packaged weight will be? MP Ultra Magnus was a hefty figure, but his cheapest shipping option was also his fastest:

So Megatron could potentially ship for relatively cheap.

While I'm interested, I'm really going to wait to hear some reviews before I buy another Masterpiece Megatron.

Thats what I am doing.

I'll be able to let you know within a week of japanese release.

Now I just have to save up some money for him....not an easy task.

The Key to Vector Sigma, just as pudgy looking and undefined as in the cartoon. Gotta love Takara's cartoon accuracy.

[bodrock]

Love it, Takara!!

Via fellow Seibertronian Cyberpath, and with the source being the official Takara Tomy Transformers Twitter account, we have a look at one of the accessories accompanyng the release of Masterpiece MP-36 Megatron (the Second Coming): the Key to Vector Sigma! The tiny thing is shown off in a video posted by the company, showcasing the Masterpiece line, but you can check it out in the static image below!

video!

He can't come soon enough.

[Relic0037]

He can't come soon enough.

Really looking forward to getting him to help me forget what a piece of $#!+ MP-05 is.

The facebook video only shows sound, won't go into full screen mode and then crashes my browser. Could someone reupload it to a more competent video hosting site, like Youtube, please? Cheers in advance.

Hey primalxconvoy, your sig is ... wow. Bright. It's also a bit too large in regards to our guidelines.

That's strange. Another mod stated the same and offered to edit my sig with a smaller one. They said they've done the same with other people's sigs. I have permission and assumed it had been edited?

Is there anyway to check if it was edited?

The logs only go back so far.

GIF's are notoriously hard (near impossible) to get under the file size limit. And yeah, even in this day and age that file limit still needs to be in place, primarily for those on mobile devices or anyone connected to the internet in Australia.

On my end, his sig appears at a size of 241px × 375px.

It's within the accepted parameters mentioned in the guidelines Burn quoted.

It's scaled. Not sure what browser you're using but Firefox says otherwise.

It's also 6 times over the file size limit.

Google Chrome.

EDIT: Here's a smaller version I just whipped up in Tinypic:

Google Chrome.

So as a non-Google Chrome user I'm surprised that something simple as Image info needs an extension.

So I tried both "View Image Info (properties)" and "Image Size Info" and both tell me what Firefox told me. So again, no idea what's up with your system.

EDIT: Here's a smaller version I just whipped up in Tinypic:

Still exceeds the file size limit.

[primalxconvoy]

I've changed it to a smaller version. Hope this one is ok!

If not, may I suggest a new thread, devoted entirely to me? You can call it "Pandering to Primal's Purile Picture"...

You're better off abandoning GIFs as a sig pic. (Even your replacement still exceeds the 100k file limit)

I could fix it, but that fix is me removing the image entirely.

That's the last thing I'm going to say on the matter, the thread has been derailed enough.

So is the LED Fusion Cannon a big part of why Megatron's priced so high? I mean, I know that obviously a big part of it is the alt-mode, but I do wonder what his price would have been if his Fusion Cannon didn't have any electronics.
