I've been kind of out of the loop lately with Law School Apps and Job interviews for the past few months; anyone care to tell me where I can import one without the orange saftey tip?

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. :P

I dont think thats a unibrow, I think that is to show depth perception of the recession from his forhead to his eyes

It comes out at the end of the months so I would guess late March early April.

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.

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.

No, it's based on G1. Compare this to the alternate head:

They could if they weren't packed full of transormer parts. They are making a kids shoe with Transformers logos on them. That's just as good to a kid. (mind you I would have given anything in the world to have Gretskys shoes from "Pro*Stars" :P

I really don't think it's a G1 head because there are no eyes to it. If it is suppose to be a G1 head that TT is getting lazy, bug time. As for another MasterPiece, I would see it being another big player in the series. If there were to do one, they could easily re-paint Starscream into one of the other seekers. But if it were to be an original mould... I would guess Grimlock, Rodimus or Galvatron. I could even see those three being next in line for the T.H.S. treatment. Who knows, we might get a nice teaser from what ever is included in MP-Megatrons contents.

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.

One thing I was wondering about the orange cap thing...I thought I might have heard that the end of the scope would have one, too....like it is on Classics Megs. Am I right about that...or is it just more orange cap paranoia?

However, I'm glad that the link is now in the News Story so that other people will be able to find the pictures. Thanks, News Gang!

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.



CapturePrey.com is from U.S. Kentucy and they are also shipping unmodded and so is RobotKingdom.com. So if they ship within the U.S, that means it's safe? I hope so. I hope both my orange tip and unmodded Megatron come in one piece.

Tipsytron should be okay, but I'd worry about the capless one.

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.

I think those pictures are just to show that Megatron's head and helmet are not going to be the same as G1 Granny Helmet. Takara has recently been getting into the habit of showcasing a little bit of the transformation in order to tease and tantalize use.

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.
