Damn. This will probably delay Road Rage, too.

I didn't even know it was given a September release date. BBTS just says 3rd quarter.

All Takara Transformers have specific release dates just like DVD, games and other similar releases have here in the US.

Most Transformers products from Takara drop on the 4th Thursday of the month, if I recall correctly.
I'm concerned about Tracks and Road Rage because Q-Tracks has been delayed since June with no release date in sight. I keep assuming it's because they're pushing Q-Tracks back to be released the same month as Masterpiece Tracks, but after this news I'm a bit concerned that there's a bigger problem at hand between Takara and General Motors/Chevrolet that is delaying the release of these products. Hopefully things are worked out soon.

I've been waiting for Q-Tracks. If it helps BBTS says that's coming in October

September is still part of the 3rd quarter. Gives the wallet a chance to rest though. This will probably delay Rr too.

Ya know, the same sort of delay was reported for MP-18B blue Bluestreak and he came in right on time, and to US retailers no less. So here's hoping the same stands for Tracks.

It's actually kinda good news for me, because I won't be able to get him this year anyways.

I want it too. Not for nothing Robot Kingdom's pre-order page still has Tracks listed for September.

My preorder stack at TFSource now lists MP-25 Tracks as "Delayed until November." Road Rage has not been changed from its October release date, however.

Wouldn't be the first time a repaint comes out before the original.

A brief update on yesterday's story about the unfortunate delay of the upcoming Takara Tomy Masterpiece Transformers MP-25 Tracks - site sponsor TFSource has confirmed, via their Facebook page, that the delay will mean release date for the figure is now November 2015.
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.
