In addition, this also sets back the release of MP-26 Road Rage (her discussion thread can be found here) to the following month, December 2015. Does this affect your purchases, or are you glad for a small breather in between collectables? Join the conversation and let us know what you think in the Energon Pub!

Since the only figures left for me to get this year (barring a last minute Thundercracker mind change) are Tracks and Road Rage, it doesn't really affect my buying. They aren't big releases and I was even going to wait to get Tracks from my stack to pick up Road Rage at the same time just to save on shipping.
I have to be picky with the repaints. Not just get them to get them. Road Rage is another character, Thundercracker is one I already have. Not getting red Bumblebee, either. Bluestreak is limited AND a fanboy wet dream.

Since Va'al asked, Nov. for Tracks is OK, I don't have any other standing pre-orders for that month. However Road Rage out in Dec. is a bit of an inconvenience because UW Devistator is due out as well, and pre-ordered. It's gonna be an expensive month. I better plan accordingly. At least I'll be able to combine shipping.
FYI, AmiAmi has updated their release date for Tracks as well. Showing "Early Nov. 2015".
Edit: Va'al, is that the comp photo I posted months ago that you used as the front page image? Why you sneaky little ........

BBTS still says 3rd quarter so I doubt they're going to give an exact date. November is going to be expensive since besides Tracks I have a couple Adventure series figures coming as well as Defensor and Devastator the following month.

This works out perfectly for me, because I can't get any MPs till next year. 
Lol I can just imagine someone fapping to this Tracks figure it looks so cool.

The end of the calendar year/winter holidays always seem to be bloated with toy releases. December is going to be especially expensive for me, with Unite Warriors Defensor and Devastator due out then (I ordered two of each, so that hurts my wallet twice as much). Add to that all the other Transformers releases that are of interest plus my Masters of the Universe Classics subscription, and yikes! Good thing January will be an extra paycheck month for me.

Yeah he looks great overall, but MAN, is he a hiker or something? I can see that it does have a hinge in there, so hopefully that means it can fold down more.
Hopefully it's just mis-transformed.

I'm quite sure the backpack folds down nice and flush with the rest of the figure. I think that pose in the middle is to represent that the backpack can be repositioned if you want to make it look like his over the shoulder missiles are more versatile in their positioning. The wings in that pose are tilted way back, and it's obvious from the front-facing pictures that the wings are supposed to be flush and parallel with Tracks' back. I'm not worried.

Yeah it's pretty obvious that is this picture, since his arm is conveniently raised, it folds down nicely.

Fellow Seibertron.com member Cyberpath has spotted over on weibo a set of in-hand images of the delayed Takara Tomy Masterpiece MP-25 Tracks - somehow acquired in advance of the new release date of November. You can take a look at the all mirrored below, and keep the discussion going in the Energon Pub!

Having a deluxe DotM Leadfoot with the symbol on it just hanging out casually like that in the background is a fun way to humblebrag about it I suppose

And distributed from? China China has larger ports than Vietnam. Cam Rahn bay despite being military grade is not yet that fully developed to serve as a primary distribution hub.
Edit:
Checked some of my MPs
MP-10,MP-13,MP-22 made in Vietnam
MP-12,MP-20,MP-21,MP-23,MP-24 made in China
So if your info is correct, Tracks is the first Cybertron "car" made in Vietnam.
