I had no interest in Exhaust and I have no interest in this either.
Masterpiece had a good run going with so many classic characters. I mean I didn't really want Star Saber but that's just because I didn't watch much if any of the Japanese G1 stuff. It was still at least a unique new mold and I applaud them for making it as an homage to that series.
But this? Exhaust as a one-off I can see but this is just lazy now. And don't think its just the G1 fan-boy in me either. I have the same feelings about Goldbug, the retool of Bumblebee. It was neat I guess but I have no desire to get one.
Let's see some new molds!

I have your exact same feelings. I don't mind retools as long as they're relevant but it's just not for me if they had no impact on me during my childhood. I can't wait for tracks so I hope Takara didn't waste molds on making more road rage figures.

Yah. The uber limited release. Thanks.
Also wonder how her toy accurate weapon can be integrated into her vehicle mode. Aside from slipping it into her arms.

I do have BLUE sprinkles on my 2015 MP cake as well.
Fen, I was just studying pics of RR and can't see how that weapon integrates, but I wouldn't be surprised if the Tak Masters figured out a way. Let's hope they did.
Another thing. I figured the pre-orders were sold out for Tracks by now. To my chagrin, they were not! So I went ahead and pulled the trigger on that one too. Gonna be a tasty cake this year!
Also Fen, in your list above you have release for Tracks as July/August. AmiAmi is showing "late September".

How many of these have flat rates? like BBTS where it's like 7 bucks plus 1 dollar or so per pound, or based on item price, or distance? If it's the latter, hopefully it'd be cheap for me on the west coast.

Amiami has a scale to price guide. Hobbysearch informs you after the item is available and ready for shipping.They also have EMS.
In as much as I'd prefer EMS, supposedly for the speed, I'm avoiding it because in the country I reside in, it isn't delivered to your doorstep. You actually have to go to the godd@mn airport hub to claim it and get taxed like sheeeeeeeeet! So I opt for registered mail, sal registered or sal parcel. EMS is the last result.

HLJ also has Fedex. for small, cheap packages i usually pick sal, but for the more expensive stuff i always go for fedex. it's sometimes a bit cheaper than ems, sometimes not.
but the main difference to me is that fedex is a lot faster. with them i don't get the holdup at customs, which can take a few weeks, and their handling fee for customs is lower than the one used by dutch carrier postnl.
