It's kind of good 'cause my wallet can rest.

I don't know if it will directly delay the release of Bumblebee but he was never going to be released on time anyway. None of them are.


Demands must be so high.

He was never scheduled for July, its always been August.

Its also worth noting that no one else got these emails and none of the other retailers sent them out Annnnnd HLJ just put up NEW pre-orders for WJ. What probly happened is they decided to make more, but release that second batch in Sept instead.

Either way, people shouldn't freak out till the two big retailers (AE/HLJ) in Japan or BBTS confirms. Then you can freak out if you want.

What if you have already freaked out? It wasn't much but people noticed.

Perhaps we should never take any notice of expected dates and then when they turn up its a nice surprise.

I ordered mine off Ebay in April I think...hope the guy I dealt with is solid. Anyone know how long an order will exist in Ebay before it totally exits system and Paypal will not pay you back? That's what sucks about paying upfront :-x .

I have gotten used to and expect these to be delayed. It doesn't come as a surprise to me.

Still says Aug in my HLJ order. so hopefully it's just one store? Either way it doesn't matter too much, we've waited over 6 months, whats another month.

yeeaahh... id never preorder anything off ebay. anyone correct me if im wrong, but i beleive you have one month after auctions end to report a problem or open a case. so if that time has lapsed and the thing hasnt even been released yet you could be SOL. that is of coarse if the seller is a d-bag.

I'm actually pleased about this. August is going to be horribly expensive.

Can't complain much, the delay is good for the wallet. Just hope Jack and Magnus don't come out within two months of one another. lol. That'll just be painful.

The time is almost nigh for fans to get their hands on the Masterpiece version of the resident Autobot inventor. According to site sponsor TFSource, MP-20 is scheduled for release in Japan on September 10. They expect him to be in stock about a week later. Get your wallets ready as MP-20 is released in 2 short weeks.

Does anyone know if Wheeljack will have the black/opaque windshield or the smokey, more transparent one since both versions have been shown lately?

'jack's back! If he were a fictional human, I'd see him as a cool Professor Emmet Brown, always deep into his next inventions and looking cool at the same time.
