Looking forward to have mine but I've yet to receive any shipping notice from Amazon.jp.

Got an email from BBTS just this morning that the release was pushed back seven months. Odd timing.

I think BBTS has been hit hard by shipping issues. I have a lot of things on PO that are delayed by months.

I recently got a new kitten and as much that I want that new 3P "Nemesis Prime", I hope mine get delayed by that much too because that little fokker is expensive with it's usual "vets fee starter pack".

That's interesting, because HLJ just charged me for mine. Just gotta ship him out now.

I ordered the first two from AmiAmi so just waiting for a payment request from them. Crosscut I ordered from Pulse since he's an exclusive in Japan and he was also delayed to July.

I'm waiting on TFsource to charge me for Reboost, so far seems to be the only one that hasn't been pushed by anyone yet

Amazon.jp just shipped my Crosscut.
I'll do a full pictorial review once it arrive.

Because.
He was also the first to be available for preorder if I remember correctly.

I'm guessing he meant Swerve or Reboost since Crosscut isn't even sold on Amazon Japan since it's a Takara Tomy Mall exclusive in Japan and not due until March anyway.

Y'know, with Skids, Crosscut, and a brand-new Diaclone-deco Honda City character in the form of Reboost... Mirage and Jazz's absence from the MP lineup is sticking out more and more all the time.
...I just realized, we're gonna see MP Screech. We're totally going to get an MP Screech. We know Takara redeco-milks the MP molds like there's no tomorrow, it's practically guaranteed.
Also, I find myself now being grateful for Skids barely being in the cartoon - it means his MP toy was done according to the MP-10/MP-12 design school instead of the accursed MP-44/MP-47 design school.

Thanks to Matt in japan we have a video review of Takara's latest MP, Masterpiece MP-53 Skids. He is out in Japan so our resident Seibertronian there has gone through the figure. Let us know if you are getting yours, and if this review either gets you more excited or makes you want to purchase it (or not).

Cheers, Matt, for the review! I was waiting for a REAL, honest reviewer that bought the figure legitimately, to watch on YouTube, so your the first I've heard about.
My red and blue boys are probably a "non-delivery notice" in my letter-box as we speak (as Amazon Japan ALWAYS delivers whenever I'm at work, no matter what times I specify, when asked).
Looking forward to watching the review and opening the toys soon!

Sorry, DOCOMO reception is dogsh*t on the major trainline from Tokyo I'm currently on, so I apologise for the double post.

Just got Reboost and Skids (and pre-ordered Crosscut). I'm just so happy with the alt-mode, that I haven't transformed them yet.
I checked the TFWiki bio for Reboost ( https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Reboost ) and they kept mentioning how "popular" the (turbo) was, but a Top Gear review (see below) stated that the (turbo) didn't catch on and was discontinued soon(ish) after release. It DID seem to impress the head of Honda, though (see the video below). I can only assume either the regular "R" version (which Reboost is based on) was more popular than the "turbo" version and/or the main reason the car got a "more important" bio in Reboost's instructions was due to the (rumour?) that Honda partly funded/promoted/was behind this release, in order to celebrate its (30th?) anniversary, or something.
Here's the Top Gear review (featuring a "Japan Only" advert featuring British ska band, "Madness") :

And here's a "walk-around" of the red "R" version:

I'm supposed to get Reboost today.
So I'll make a full pictorial review tonight if everything goes well on schedule.
