And as predicted, RobotKingdom delivers with awesome prices and shipping. $93.46 shipped on Sideswipe and Red Alert. This is why I solely use them for my orders.

Edit: 207GBP for all 3. I'm gonna have a very Merry Christmas this year.

What about customs fees etc? Does that not push the cost of importing up past a UK stockist? In general terms I mean, dont think any UK stores have put up any pre-orders yet.

Wow 80 dollars o.O...I might get Lambor after all. Well I still need to see the actual figure and a video review before I get him.

I sure hope Soundwave is the same size as Starscream for that price o.O...If all it does is include a MP-scale Laserbeak/Ravage while still Voyager-size(Like Lambor) I'm not gonna buy it >.>...

Soooooooooooo very tempting, but I think I'll wait. (Going to be painful) I'm remembering back that the first version of Takara's MP Rodimus had a some issues and they were later worked out for an updated version that came to the US. If I find out for sure that Sideswipe won't have a US release, then I'll pull the trigger at RK or another store. Maybe BBTS. Btw, where is Robotkingdom based? In the UK?

They wont be shipped to the UK, I'm in Asia, Sadly not Japan or I wouldn't need to import.

Yay for 78$. That's affordable.

Mon May 28, 2012 6:36 am

78 is a great price for sideswipe and 134 is not bad for soundwave. I will wait a little longer to pre order because I want to see if the dates are correct and if they are they're all bought. So glad I made the choice to just collect masterpiece figures!!!!!! :BOOM:

Mon May 28, 2012 6:41 am

Soundwave has to be starscreams scale for accuracy and for that price. Can't wait to see pics!!!

So is TakaraTomy really planning on releasing all 3 in December?

Not spacing them out a bit?

Wonder when we'll find out any details regarding a Hasbro release.

I'd like to jump on this preorder now but I sadly don't have the funds. I can wait until later when more details are known, I suppose.

I thought MP Sideswipe had a fall release. The reduced prices are welcomed.
