The Energon Pub

god i really hate myself making another thread about it again. unfortunately, i HAD TO. a few seconds ago i called every stores stating that they have their mp-04 instock, so i call up and ask, guess what they all give me the same answer is that they're sold out, and there's none left in japan!!! btw they haven't yet update their site.
at this point in time, it leads to my suspicion why action-hq didn't answer my emails, because probably they know they can't fulfill my order and tried to avoid answering me altogether!!! if somehow they can obtain it, it would be a miracle!!! when i asked sensitive questions like where do you get your supplies from? or how on earth can you obtain something that is already sold out everywhere!!! what fries me is that some stores like toywiz claim to have it, their price is 500 bucks!!! i'm starting to believe it's a scam. now i had a bad feeling the backorder may never be processed and they may never answer my emails!!! so i'm alone with myself guessing!!!

*sigh*

and to think that people get mad about repeated movie bashing posts...

tough titty brother.
jumped on the band wagon a little too late. might you just settle for an mp-01? maybe eventually get a trailer? as mick jagger says: you can't always get what you want.

Sorry to be a little harsh, but all these threads are getting annoying. All you have to do is search for the last thread you made about MP-04 and post it in there.

Your only option at this point is eBay, or finding another collector who's willing to sell theirs. All the online stores sold out long ago, as you've discovered.

Or, as people have suggested many times, as above, get another version and the aftermarket trailer.

If there is a Fry's Electronics near you they have the repackaged 20th anniversary versions. Last time I was there anyway. At least you could have a variation of the figure. And you can find the long stacks and trailer else where down the road.

for your information, mp-01 is also sold out for a very long time. it really pisses me off when someone ordered it before me managed to snatch the last one, but not from action-hq. i guess don't put too much high hopes on myself. btw i wanted the japanese version, cuz they're more valuable than the hasbro version.

if you are collecting it for its possible monetary value in the future and not on how the figures appeal to you, then you are a scalper and not a transfan.

What if your a transfan, but then you don't like it anymore so you sell it or you need the money?

^Then you're a transfan, but if you're collecting solely for monetary value, what's the point? There's way better things to invest in than transformers.

Altertron, who cares if it's the Japanese or US version? I wouldn't. The first US release was nearly the same, it's just as nice a figure. If you get the long stacks and aftermarket trailer, it's just as good as the MP-04 version.

If you'd rather not have the figure at all than go for an available version, then quit complaining about it.

Um...

I don't care that you missed out on MP-04. I don't want to read about how you got "screwed" every day for the rest of my life because you didn't get it a year ago when everyone else did.

Buy it on eBay and STFU.
