To Preorder or not to Preorder..

I have a delemma.(sp?)
I want to preorder an Mp-06 Skywarp at BigBadToyStore, and he will cost about 100 dollors. My problem is, is there any places that I can preorder him where he may cost less? Plus I don't know what they will charge for shipping and handling. I want to get him, but I want to see first if there are any places that may cost less and are reputable before I go ahead and preorder him from BBTS.

BTW- The MP Megatron's silencer on his new accessories will have the orange tip on it. Just thought ya'll would like to know. :P

shipping on him will be @ ten bucks.
i like bbts, just got the mp-05 pre-order, and that was the shipping on that, and mp-03 was like 9.67?
anyhoo,
i don't think it'll be too hard to order from anywhere else though

I love Skywarp and his sexy black & purpleness but I heard alot of criticism on the mold(stress marks etc) when Starscream came out so I'm sort of holding off abit on this MP.

I'll probably cave.

I've heard his mold is slightly differant then MP Starscream's, something like in his legs with the tailfins being attached (sp) instead of sticking out like Mp Screamer's, but I am probably wrong. :-?

1. Yes, I think thats what he'll probably look like, and it is fitting. It would be boring having them have the exact same mold.

2.Thank you for the MP Starscream head drawings! :grin: It does clear up some things that I was wondering about, and plus it would help me in drawing him. I was wondering what his smirk looked like, mine looks kind of disgusted, like he had smelled something really bad instead.

3.Thank you for the extra picture ;)^

4.I know with Megatron's accessories that BigBadToyStore is doing the orange cap thing on the silencer, and that is so they can be complient with US gun laws, I think. I don't know if it is the stuff shipped to the US that has to have the caps, or if it is stuff originating inside that is shipped out that has to have them. I imagine that stuff that will never arrive to the US might not have them, but I don't know how that stuff works in other countries.

5.What is the Ebay seller's name?

Edit: Will BigBadToyStore take Paypal?

No problem for :grin:

I've never ordered at BigBadToyStore, but they might a lot of shops use it these days.

The sellers name is Frankie, but his ebay name I don't know right now, but I'll tell you as soon as I found it.

In Germany the MP Megatron isn't looked at as a toy or replika gun, they look at it and say Toy robot ore Actionfigure.

Yes, after this I'm going to preorder. I want to get him badly, and after I preorder I can rest easy.




Oy! I just found out they don't take Paypal for Preordering, only credit cards!

So I guess I have to wait until September *sigh*
