It comes out at the end of the months so I would guess late March early April.
well glad you like it. I can't wait to get mine. do you think that the head gimmick is more of a battle mode than a g1 toy head. I think if the eyes could be visible it would count as a g1 head. I mean't the critics who hate for being small. weel you could agree with me that since it is based on the gi toy so it will be small. sucks that they never will come out with a mini-bots master piece box set. or even a grimlock or a hot rod. masterpiece soundwave? I wish. right.Down_Shift wrote:Wheeljack35 wrote:My question is this:

Most people don't have a huge problem with it. Just comparing it to the other MPs in the line make it look rather weak is all. I like that he has skinny legs like G1 Megs. Gives it a nostalgic feel.

Both of them look awesome. I must have. I'm very suprised at how cool the robot mode of the sneakers look.

From the looks of it, that would probably make the most sense,as it dosen't look enough like his G1 toy head to be a good representation.Down_Shift wrote:Bluebullet wrote: No, it's based on G1. Compare this to the alternate head:
To be honest I can't see it being an alternate head. It's got to be part of the Transformation.

Don't need one. There are two buttons at the top of the news story that take you to the link itself.
Edit: Nevermind, looks like someone put one there anyways. The balance has been restored.

The way he does this is enter the US with the packages and ship them from a U.S. Location via UPS. To quote Spencer from the forums:The Megatron figures we will be shipping into the states also will not have the orange cap on them. I bring over all mail personally and ship from a US address so these don't leave my hands until they are shipped by UPS. I don't think there is anything to fear with these.
Hope that helps.
Spencer.
So, if you're worried about customs, I think this is the way to go.

Ah crap another whole month trying to hold on to $100

In all honesty, I really think the best thing to do when trying to get a unmodded Megs is to *not* preorder one. That way, the stores will have them in stock, meaning they're already in the country, & therefore you don't have to worry about giving them your money & then find out your toy got confiscated.Kronos wrote:NightFall wrote:Kronos wrote:By the way, if any of you are worried about customs, Spencer from AgesThreeAndUp.com is shipping UNMODDED MP-05's in the U.S.

Well, once they get inside the country, there's no customs to go through. Customs checks items coming into the US via any type of shipping. Once it's inside the continental US, UPS doesn't really check for anything like that.
I don't know how CapturePrey and RobotKingdom are getting them into the country, but I know how ATAU is getting it in. He's basically driving them across himself.
