No Megatron?

Apparently not. Not sure if the pre-order sold out or what. He's just not available. I thought it was kinda weird that they didn't have Megs up also.

I'm checking everyone's prices right now. Those aren't too bad, plus MP-06 is about $15-20 cheaper than everyone else. I really want to buy the entire set, and BBTS price for the entire set isn't too bad, but I am certain they will cap the Megatron and I kind of want to avoid that whole mess. Curt from TFSource said he should have all his pre-order info up on Encore and MP-06 this weekend. I'll probably go with him anyways because they have some of the best customer service, but it's good to know there is a great deal out there on them now.

Well, I've been looking around myself. According to Hobbylink Japan's pricing, Optimus, Starscream, and Soundwave will come out to be about $100.00, not counting shipping from Japan. Megatron will probably add another $40.00 to that price.
Meanwhile, ActionHQ has a rebate program in place now which takes the complete set of 4 down to $141.00, but you gotta pay $171.00 before you get the rebate, and once again, this isn't considering shipping from Hong Kong yet.

This is awesome, I noticed everyone has started trying to get competitive with their prices and customer service since MP-05 was released. I imagine that the attention Transformers is getting from the movie is helping too. It seems that now is a great time to be a Transformer fan and collector.

Swerve, you have to remember that HLJ was among the companies that was installing caps onto MP05. The reason Megatron isn't available for preorder yet might be because they're deciding what to do about that with the Encore figure.
He is listed on HLJ's site at least, but as "out of stock." Price is currently quoted as $46 USD.

Bah, I got a G1 Soundwave and he is in good condition, I own 2 G2 Optimus Prime, plus the Commemorative that was released still in box.
The only two I want is Megatron and MP-06. I forgot if they did or not, but do they charge you right away if you pre-order or do they charge you once the item is in?

Looks like Megatron was added and I pre-ordered it.
