I'd jump on MP Megs. He sold out very quickly, although there is a second batch coming out soon.

Starscream is up to you. A few online retailers still have him, so he's not extremely overpriced yet. But if you like his original anime colors better, there will be the Wal-Mart exclusive in September for about $60.

i'm sorry, but you haven't answer my question about takara's decision to stop production completely. does this usually happen in the second batch. ex if takara shipped the second batch, then that's pretty much it, then you have to go through ebay or buy the last ones in online stores.

From what I understand, Takara doesn't usually release a second run of the MP's. Megatron sold so well that they decided to. Now I could be completely wrong on this, but I believe that's the case.

And what's the problem? If you like the toys buy them. If not pass.

if i got one on ebay and it happens to be a defective one, can i ask the seller for an exchange or a refund if he or she can't doesn't have an extra one.

That's seller by seller. Check their refund policies on the listing. If there's nothing there e-mail them.

hey man, you're damned if you do, damned if you don't. sorry that i live in the us. but hey, you have free health care
btw, after you get this mp-04 business, what's your next toy going to be?

Already bracing for another dozen or so board threads yet to come? Heh... Whatever it is, I hope for his sake that it's nothing a year or more past it's original Release date.

heh, you got it.

if you're that curious, decepticonjon, i probably gonna get prime a bride (megatron) then my collection will be completed.

Well... better start saving now, he'll only be about 200 bucks by the time the stock and silencer add-ons are released.

yesterday i bought my mp-04 online from action-hq for $270,
however this morning, the price went up to $300 bucks from the same online store!!!
i guess i was lucky to paid it one day early. i hope the price fluctiation doesn't affect my original paying price.

this is utterly insane for toywiz.com to increase its mp-04 $299.99 to $399.99!!! plus 100 bucks shipping fee in total will be $500 bucks US plus cddn convertion, that's around $545 cdn!!! fudging outrageously expensive!!! what's the deal with hq action and toywiz?? as soon as toywiz goes up, so does action hq!!!

so does amazon.com increase its figure from 400 bucks to 500 bucks!!! almost every sites does sell their mp-04s intended to increases it price and value!!! imagine in just a couple of days or weeks, the thing will cost over a thousand!!!

welcome to collecting bud. glad you got it 30 bucks cheaper. kinda makes the shipping pay for itself?

hey folks,

i also unfortunately missed the MP-04 boat...i was considering buying one from ActionHQ, but their site indicates that the thing is on "backorder". does this mean that ActionHQ will really fulfill my order?

i'm also headed to Otakon this weekend and am hoping that one of the dealers there will just have this on hand.

i will avoid eBay (and PayPal) as much as possible, considering they are the scum of the internet.

hey you actually can buy one from action-hq. as a matter of fact, they're now currently processing my order. back order usually means they don't have it instock at the moment and are expecting orders from its providers. if you can't wait to get one, then buy one from toywiz.com. they will ship it to you the moment you buy it from them. just this morning, the price went up to $400 bucks. or you just can wait like i did for hq action to re-order those items.

heh, action-hq's shipping is near $88. so i'd end up spending at least $400 regardless.


what a pricey toy

if i didn't just drop a similar amount to pick up one of yamato's 1/60 yf-19s, i would probably break down and buy this. ah well, maybe if i do see one at Otakon...

so sorry to hear that, btw i placed my order yesterday afternoon. it costs $269.95 and 52.73 for shipping. so it costs me $322.68 total at the checkout table. it's expensive, but i'm okay to pay that amount, cuz my local toy store no longer be receiving them, so i had to buy it online. i would say go ahead and buy one if you see it in store. the more you wait, or procraste, the more the price will go up. i myself will not buy the toy if it's above 400 bucks.
check amazon.com out, cuz they're selling the toy as if they're made of gold!! it's $500 bucks!!!

yeah, i checked out amazon earlier. $300 for the MP-05?!?

what, does Megs have a solid gold brick cannon mounted to his arm? sheesh!

i may just break down and get MP-04 through eBay anyways. a fool and his money are soon parted...

I've got an MP-4 (TRU Japan display model) up on ebay now. Starting bid's only $150 and the BIN's $275. Winner gets a free TRU Japan exclusive movie poster. My ebay name is Prof_Smooth

Bout a 100 bucks at BBTS, pre-orders sold out though.

I can't decide if I should pre-order the silencer and stock before they run out, than explode in price on ebay =__=

I bought that in a moment of TF-lacking weakness. Make a bid, there's no reserve.

currently my order status of the mp-04 is on backorder, does that mean i'm not guarantee to get my figure for absolute certainty? and they might cancel my order if they can't fulfill the order.

If it's on backorder, then it's not in stock and needs to be re-ordered by the seller. If the item is discontinued, it may take a LONG time. There's a chance they'll never get the item but they'll always refund you.
