I got extremely lucky. I think I bought it off of Amazon for like $80 on sale. And it is an awesome piece. I wanted a good Mace Windu replica saber. Partially because: Sam Jackson! (Mostly because it's the only purple Saber, at least at the time...)

The one I wanted was out forever ago, after some Googlin I found out they were "Master Replica" and they were hundreds at the time. Now? Over a thousand

Where can I get these nice crystaly ones you speak of?

Part of me was really upset I'm looking at something not officially produced/sanctioned.... then I was like.. wait.. why??! Hello 3P Transformers collection!

They look wondrous. I'ma (someday) by me up a Jedi Luke saber

LOL!! That was the first third party stuff I looked at ever!! LOLOLOLOLOLOLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

So. 4 new MP reveals in one day.

JOY OVERLOAD

Policestreaker... man. I need more deets. Can he have a gun hand? Does he come with an extra head for SS yellow? Show us the car mode! Show us the official pics! Whatever happened to Deepcover??

Toy Megatron... **** me for buying that KO Magten.
It looks amazing. Better than I could have pictured. I will not feel upset paying whatever premium it takes to get him.

BW Megatron. Damn. Same things. Need more deets.

Proper Shockwave... I dunno. He certainly looks better, but damn that's expensive for a mold that... wasn't bad, but y'know... lackluster.

I'm glad you're happy, it was a terrible day for my the direction of my collection!!

Yeah, I think I'm all about this guy and finding a Clampdown. Police bros with Prowl? Awesome!!

I mentioned this to carytheone and Cobotron, interesting how the KO companies had the chest and headsculpt already, isn't it?! Jeez!! Keep Magten so you can has bot MP36s in box for all eternity.

He looks awesome. Was he really that much bigger than Optimus Primal though?!

I really wish he was that color first, but re-buying at that significant markup is not an option (even though I'd sell the other).

D-Max loves this post. <3

I really like the looks of Wave and Cordon, but I think they are both passes. Wave is kinda lackluster and not overly big with me (except for IDW Wave, holy shirt!), and while the head and mold are nice, Cordon just isn't for me.

As for the Megs, oh goooooooooooooooooooooooooosh. Beast Megs is insane! And with his announcement, I am so close to having a complete, really good, Beast Wars collection! Here's hoping for a left hand!

And the toy based G1 Megs is great, and he looks silver! Hopefully the few paint chipping and tolerance issues are good with him now, cause I so plan to get him. Much better than his cartoony look to me

So Shajaki, I see you went full in on MP completionist even going for different stickered boxes.

Does that mean you have both boxes for the Red Bumblebee release? As in the Takara satellite exclusive one and the hasbro asia one?

Will is referring to this:

This time around, the US and Asia are identical save for a pair of stickers and lot number stamps.

So there's two different boxes for Red Bee? Any pics?

Honestly, this really makes me question the whole completionist (including box variants) thing I'm doing. 3 of each MPM isn't helping either....

No way! That Toy Megatron is gonna be opened up SO HARD. It makes the Magten look like a half job!

Also, it'll be really interesting seeing the new TT Toy Megs face next to the 3P(Technically KO actually) Toy face.

As for Magten, I'll either dump him, or TF him to gun mode and leave him like that.

BW Megs definitely has a hand under that tail. But I wonder if he has a hand under the rex head? He did have one in the show! I'll go ahead and speculate that: he'll be more expensive than Dinobot, have as many accessories, likely the other golden disc but not the ducky, no stand, and lots of faces.

Toy Megs will probably be pretty straight forward, new face, same accessories. Unless they go all Megaplex and give him a yellow flail instead of a purple one.

I'm actually sort of confused by my own excitement. I grew up with the G1 cartoon, and few toys of the Season 1 cast. And yet, I find myself most excited about Diaclone and toy accurate versions. Why is that?!

shajaki wrote:So there's two different boxes for Red Bee? Any pics?

You know what, scratch that. Even though the Hasbro asia release was obviously not a Japan exclusive, they kept the same satellite exclusive sticker on the box. So my mistake, they are indeed identical in this instant.

It's cool that the MPs sometimes gives us those options of cartoon versus toy accuracy. It all comes down to each figure on which I prefer, Shaj -- like the two Optimus Primals. MP32 just gave me so much feels.

I agree that BW Megz ain't gonna be cheap. I'm gonna hafta have him....!

My solution will be overtime. May take 10 hours of it, but it'll be worth it!

See? If you'd gone with an OG Primal you wouldn't be 300 bucks in debt for a MP BW Megs

Haha next week 5 days I'll have 25 hours of OT
(which I'm actually really happy about because the OT has been scarce lately)

On top of all the official MP news, we're given this



I'm very enamored with these. I've been talking about a 3P making an MP V2 Lambor mold since MP-39 hit my hands, but am still surprised to see this. I figured it would be too much of a gamble.

Wasn't I just talking about how I need to trust Hastak more? Yeah... and here I am again drooling over another 3P thing.

It's funny though. MP-12 still looks great next to Sunsurge. But now MP-39 comes out, totally blowing Surgio out of the water. But in doing so, they also alienated their MP-12. Here comes Badcube AGAIN to scratch almost the same exact itch

It's hard to argue with this though...



I feel like this pic of their new Swipe next to NOT Sunsurge is Badcube saying "Yeah alright Takara, you did good with him"

Oh my

THREE HUNDRED TWENTY FIVE DOLLARYDOOS?! WHAT THE FUNKADELIC?!

With 5 days to go still!

I did NOT pay that much for the pair I have! Not even together! Thank Primus

I mean, sweet merciful CATS! That's an insane amount of money. Not logical.

I won't deny that for a second, but if I didn't have mine already.... I dunno. I'd be trying to find a way, probably unable to afford it (right now anyways), and be weeping about it
