I don't think they've done any BW KOs yet?

Also, he should be shipping out in another month here, he's still a ways out.

Today I got my invoice through from Kapow Toys...




He is coming!

Yeeees, excellent

[AllNewSuperRobot]

Indeed. I just realised he is going to be the single most expensive figure I've ever bought

[D-Maximal_Primal]

Man, I thought he wasn't due till the end of the month!

Since I'm going Amazon Japan, Dinobot will remain my most expensive purchase, though Megs will be 2nd still

[william-james88]

Holy balls, he’s shipping out already?

I read online that these pics may be of a KO, not certain

Really? I want aware of any Beast Wars KOs.

Some people just live to suck the joy out of everything, don't they?

[D-Maximal_Primal]

Unless I'm remembering wrong and reading amazon Japan wrong, he should be due out next week!

A little while ago, Masterpiece Beast Wars Megatron was just a passing mention in a Takara interview and now in just a few short days, he will be released. His official release date is March 30th, that is when it will be available at Japanese retailers. Westerners who ordered him from Amazon Japan will be getting him by April 5th. With Beast Wars Megatron just about to come out, Robot Kingdom posted images of his box which we included below along with an image of his inner plastic tray which surfaced a little while ago. He will be packaged in Beast Mode. Do you all have him for preorder?

[Seibertron]

I can't wait to get MP-43 next week. He looks fantastic.

[SpikeyTigertron]

is it confirmed there's a stand in the tray *under* him?

Does make me wish they'd textured/carved some lines in Cheetor or Primal (especially the toy deco Primal)

[Phoenix-2]

I assume the stand is in/under the part of the tray that is not in the picture. The product shots on the bottom right side (back of the box) do indicate that a stand would be included (although I suppose it could be the stand packaged with Dinobot - however only having a single, shared, stand would be kind of stupid/useless when trying to set them both up in a battle scene).

From what I can see he looks totally bad-a$$. Can't wait till he arrives!!!

[Nemesis Maximo]

I don’t think he does come with a stand. We’ve seen pics of all included parts, and the stand is always missing from those even though he’s seen using one.

I dunno for sure though, but we’ll be finding out soon!!! *rubs hands together greedily*

[D-Maximal_Primal]

Super excited for him! Hopefully I'll get him next week, he's supposed to come in stock this weekend

[william-james88]

is it confirmed there's a stand in the tray *under* him?

No and im pretty sure he doesnt come with a stand. Just additional clear plastic pieces to add to Dinobot's stand.

 TFW2005 Boards member chrisr291 has MP-43 BW Megatron in hand, and posted pictures there. Not sure if I'm allowed to mirror his pictures here, but I checked them out and he does indeed look great. Got check him out if you want to add more hype to his excitement

Yes, you can post them here and provide a link to the source

This year's most important release (take that MP 44) is upon us. I am talking of course of Masterpiece MP-43 Beast Wars Megatron. While he is being released officially after tomorrow, certain stores already got him in stock (to be ready for release date) and some lucky fans have already held him in their loving arms. We are now getting many in hand images while we wait for a video review. The images show us that he is even bigger than MP-36 G1 Megatron. We see him scale with Optimus Primal and Dinobot. We also see the electronics with his eyes as well as shots of him without his beast shell.

The images come to us from various sources such as 变形金刚玩具吧 (who has a haunting avatar photo), and chrisr291 (who has an avatar I can get behind) along with other posts on various social media outlets.

The initial reaction has been mostly favourable. He is imposing, solid and has a nice transformation, reminiscent of the original toy. While the hip pieces don't hold on as tightly as would be preferable, the remaining beast shell stays on the robot quite well.

Dont buy from e-tailers, get this directly from Amazon Japan

"A single Masterpiece figure, perfectly crafted in the likeness of the show model. I'm almost touched!"

*looks at price*

"...fortunately, such moments pass quickly."

[joevill]

AMAZING!!!

[Lore Keeper]

These pictures make me regret cancelling my preorder. But that price tag... It would be the most expensive figure I've ever purchased.

How does this quote fit this Masterpiece better than "Yesssss"?

Anyway, this is one great figure, and I am shocked that he has both a sound chip and an ab crunch, both of which I had no idea he had. I bet this guy will be worth the price, and just makes me cry in agony that I'm still broke
