Just got my payment request from HLJ for Menasor, and promptly paid for the set. ~$140AU (before shipping) still works out cheaper than hunting down the Hasbro equivalent locally.
Will ship him (and Kabaya Seacons) after next weeks pay.
So with the impending arrival of Menasor, it's time Superion made his way from the lounge to the TF collection room. Unfortunately I need to move things around for him to fit ...

Even though you didn't say it, we both know this is aimed at me and I would ask that you NOT bring up my poor fashion sense. I prefer comfort over looks.

Just to prove a point and not out of topic. I order from various sources and not just "amiami"

I'm divided at the moment. HLJ is my primary source but I don't think they're going to be carrying "Guardian" so I was lucky enough to snare him through PremiumCollectables.
Not paid either, just plugging the site sponsors.

I thought he was making a very unlikely reference to the way Matt Berry calls the title character of Garth Marenghi's Darkplace.

If he was then that's even more obscure than Australian slang.

Woke up to an email from Amazon saying Menasor should arrive by 8pm. Looking forward to it. I've been working on my 3D recording set-up for weeks in an attempt to do the set justice.

Takara Transformers Unite Warriors 02 Menasor now shipping, and new in-package images
- Motto: "'till All Are One"
Fellow Seibertronian Shumi Nagaremono has posted the following on our boards letting us know that UW 02 Menasor is now shipping (and arriving) from Amazon Japan. This lets us know that orders from other websites should be shipping out soon as well. He gives us some nice pictures of the packaging too.

If anybody's interested, I put together a short video showing 360 degree turnarounds of the five Stunticons in vehicle, robot, and combined mode.
There's also a 3D version, if you've got a 3D monitor (or the new version of the 3DS, via the web browser).
unite-warriors-02-menasor-3d-compatible--p1719881.php#p1719881
Pretty nice set, all around. A few loose bits here and there (especially on Wild Rider) and some others that are almost too tight. TakTom's paint scheme appeals to me more than the Hasbo version, but that's just personal preference. Still prefer Superion, but I don't regret ordering this. Menasor is a bit more top-heavy than his predecessor, and can't hold such dynamic poses without assistance.
If Superion was a 4.5 out of 5, Menasor's a solid 4. Maybe 4.25.

Keep the evidence coming. Just because you're from another continent does not mean a Mod can't get Moderated too. I kinda enjoy being the pinata for now before I see someone doing a reverse a little earlier that they think. Eating foot and the like.
Btw, I already posted this a few slots back that the set was already ready for shipping.

Haha! But its all good. The reason the other post was used was because it had the pretty box pictures.

I agree. The motor master is the best looking of the group. If they were sold separately id pick him up.
I have been into transformers since 1984.
While I love G1 I also love new innovations and takes on the characters.
I prefer official Hasbro releases of stuff for the most part
I'm not a huge fan of Japanese original Transformers media or designs.
It's easier for me to say which are my LEAST favorite toy lines: Beast Machines, Robots in Disguise.
TFCon List: Classics Skywarp, General Optimus, BW Airrazor, Transmetal Tarantulus, Alternity Prime, Fire Convoy

It's really only just Breakdown and Wildrider who looked underdetailed to me. I'm fine with Drag Stripe being yellow and orange instead of yellow and purple, but something about Breakdown's shade of off-white and Wildrider's light gray chest don't look right to me (which for the latter is also odd since Break-Neck had a light gray chest too and I think it looks fine on him).

I'm wondering if anyone that opted for Hasbro Drag Strip for Takara Menasor plan on staying that course or a change of mind perhaps.
