IF there were issues that is. Supposedly, if you follow the instructions, it does say how to move the barrel piece to avoid the paint chipping.

Also, I think I will bite too. I was told from someone who has been collecting toys since RID 2001 that this is the best toy he has ever handled. And if you simply follow the instructions, he is a pleasure to transform. This intrigues me greatly.

But there's no stopping the other parts from chipping

Got mine in.

Please remember ... PC are Australian based, and their price is a little higher as they're the ones who will be dealing with customs to get him landed in Australia.

A week shy of 8 months, and still no Megatron. What I did get today though was a refund for him, not from PC, no, that would require the wanker to actually reply to e-mails, but rather the financial company I paid through. No hassle with them whatsoever, and they actually reply to e-mails.

Unlike Premium Collectables. Who suck donkey balls, and no one should deal with them.

Oh and while I was searching for this post of mine to quote, I found this lovely gem.

Still true. I never bought 36, and I do think Despotron is a better looking figure. That said, 36 is an amazing figure, and I was wrong with my initial impressions.

Prejudices always get the foot in the mouth!

Megs wasn't peeling off paint when I opened mine.

Sure he has a back kibble but who cares to look at the back of your fig!

Next we get bellyaches that Takara has gone the simplistic anime look. Well Megs may have the "anime" look but I challenge the naysayers to ask for a G1 toy accurate look and see how y'all will puke :roll:

He IS a piece of engineering marvel. No 3rd party can top that! :-$

He is special. One of the five figures I'm keeping and have left on display.

News Credits: 5 · by **skywarp-2** » Sun Sep 10, 2017 2:24 pm

All I plan to get and keep mostly are G-1 Masterpieces from season 1-2 (but not all of them, definitely 1st season everyone) and cover the 1986 Movie. Then only Movie Masterpieces, from the first movie to the third with select figures. But for the 1st Movie, definitely all the Autobots and Decepticons. Like for the later movies, definitely the Fallen. Definitely Megatron, definitely soundwave. Definitely Sentinel Prime. Maybe Soundwave, both versions. That's about it.

I'm really excited for him too. But I am still waiting on an actual release date.
TFsource still has "4th quarter 2017", and we are rapidly closing in on that mark

So 2017. so right around when Targetmaster Hot Rodimus is due.

Cool actually. I don't have anything at this point that would get me the free Hot Rod shipping, but if they come together...

Oh and the fun of those 2 being in the same package :lol:

I wonder if we are gonna see black and gold variants pop up again like the original MP did.. I'd prefer a straight silver repaint over Gold or Black..just saying...

Where can I pre-order Megatron for the reissue? Any sites yet??

News Credits: 12 · by **nycPrime** » Wed Sep 13, 2017 11:59 am

All the domestic retail usual suspects have it listed (assuming you're in the US). Not sure if it's still available for PO at Japanese sites. Don't think it's available anymore via anime-export.com
