Put me down for one of MP Megs please.
Whoever makes the order, please make doubly sure that they won't have any of that orange American safety crap on them.
I've heard it rumoured that some non-US sites will be selling modded ones too.

Thanks Dough-bot,
Do you think TF-Zone would want a bulk order from us?

Sorry guys! I've just pre-ordered 2 MP Magatrons from Toyspark at £52 each shipped. I don't think that can be beaten.

I'm not sure, but I doubt it.
He's selling the Megatron #6 re-issue right now and I don't think that's been capped.
MP Megs will no doubt come boxed and in robot mode like the other MP figures, so I don't think he'll be harder to import than any other MP figure.

Dough-bots the man with the plan
I just thought that it would be great for all us Brits to benefit from a group discount. If we could get the same deal as Toymachine for £52 each we'd be laughing. And possibly less disgruntled!
So that makes 5 of us now?

best i've got so far is £57 inc. postage
HLJ have him for £41.50 plus postage but as they don't know the weight of him they are unable to say on EMS postage.
I also don't want to go through an Ebay seller as its gonna be over £260 on my C.card until he arrives,
I'm at the Kaiserchiefs tonite but will carry on looking on saturday afternoon

HLJ was one of the sites I had heard about putting on the orange cap, but looking at their site, they are stating they'll only do it to US buyers, so that's OK. Finally an advantage to living in the United Kingdom of Great Englandland......

...Until the end of april when I believe we are getting a similar law to the US coming into force.
I reeeeally hope my parents do find me a MP Megs in singapore or I'm going to be screwed.

Dough-bot, even £57 inc P&P is at least £13 cheaper than I could get so far!
Can I just check - would the £57 be P&P to our homes? The reason I ask is to see if there any extra costs pushing Megs beyond the £60 mark.
Sorry to be so pedantic - but I'm a tight bastard

Depends how much total cost would be once shipping costs are included and if I can use postal orders. And if it has the orange cap. Put me down as a possible maybe. Although...

Although I'm debating whether to hold off, as I'm planning a trip to Japan in the near future.
Just remember, you still have to get him here. The law about importing fake guns Im sure will include individuals as well as businesses.
And the cheapest I've seen him for was a few pence shy of £65 inc postage on ebay, so £60'd be better than nothing.

Yay. We're beating the Michin thingiers' thread...
Sorry to go rather off topic at this point, but I've heard about Classics Cosmos quite a lot recently, and was wondering if anyone has those plans for him. I'm not quite sure, but I think I remember something about colour charts for him...
Also, I'm curious whether anyone's heard anything about the final Classics wave; you know, Jazz, Sunstreaker, Sideswipe and Cosmos, cos I'm sure we should've heard something by now.

I'm going purely on assumption with that statement.
You never know, imagine how great it'd be to find that they'll be making more Classics tfs! Bring on Blaster and Blitzwing!
I'm not even sure if they still plan to make the Autobot cars wave. Last I heard was that they MAY make these four bots, but they will decide later.

Scrap that. Just checked, and I thought I had more money than I actually do. Guess I won't be buying any more tf's for a while. Although if a classics Blitzwing came along, I may make an exception.

Of course, but you need to post a bitch about Hasbro UK to be allowd into the secret club. 
Doughbot, im in for Megs, irrelevant of price. For a toy like that id sell my own kids if i had them. Lets hope for the no orangecap version, but if its the pnly way ot get it over here im sure ill survive.
Cheers!

I guess being a Brit i should take Redimus' advice and say something here.
I got a Titanium Soundwave yesterday. After opening him i tried to stand him up. No fancy poses, just standing. But he kept collapsing in on himself.
The highest of the 3 blue leg sections just seems too loose to support the weight of the upper body.
Anybody else have this problem, or have i just picked up a dodgy one?
