Many thanks!! You saved me from going to the scalpers!

I wonder if it is just excess or unsold stock from the first run, like from Asia where it ended up having a more restricted release.
If it is only being released in a month's time it is too short for it to be a new production run (otherwise, it would have been listed on other sites 3-4 months ago).

[drifand]

Might be excess stock due to restrictions. But i think those who still want it, is a chance too good to pass.

Was actually looking for iron hide

[spiderken17]

I have never used them before, what are they like to ship to Aus?

Pretty good tbh. I've used them before. If you order one, mind if i jump on your order with one too? :)

[Sinnertwin]

Dang it.
I knew I should have sold it to the Americans sooner

[UltraMarginal]

it's also up at anime export

[drifand]

So much for making money scheme. :)

Yes, that's cool, I am unsure at this point. What are they like for postage? Is anime export a better choice. I have never used either of them.

[MayzaPrime]

I am happy for all of the people who wanted this and missed out. Hopefully this will drop the scalpers prices down.

I use amiami over anime export but is up to you. Anime export charges you now, amiami does it when they have the items in stock and you get points for next purchase.

Postage is pretty good. Pretty quick too from memory

[ampoldj]

Amiami postage should be around 1680 to 1860 yen for an MP Car. For 2pcs should be less 3040 yen

This is probably restock (redistributing unsold ones to Japan where it can be sold with no hassle)

[spiderken17]

Anime Export is calling it a re-issue.

[Sinnertwin]

HLJ (https://www.hlj.com/product/TKT81693/Sci) have it listed too

[Ultra Mackness]

Any word on the coin that is supposed to exist for this guy?

[Megatran]

My understanding is that Japanese online retailers don't include the coin (HLJ, Anime Export). Best to try HK-based sites, if they have it in stock.

[ZoonMaster5000]

Pc have just announced a pre order for today and they are saying its a re-issue.

[UltraMarginal]

If this has the smoother paint job I may just get another, so many retailers seem to have pictures of the smoother paint job, with two now calling it a reissue, is it possible that TAKTOM waited for the heat to die down and have now re-issued it per the original paint scheme?

it seems really unlikely to me.

[drifand]

Should have went back to original rooftop design, I buy it in a heartbeat.

Hey UM, what's this smoother paint job you referring to? I'm no longer collecting MP line & haven't been following as closely.

[UltraMarginal]

Hey UM, what's this smoother paint job you referring to? I'm no longer collecting MP line & haven't been following as closely.

the original paint design for exhaust had the chevron shapes very close to the Marlboro logo, after being hassled by Marlboro the design was changed so the smooth curve of the chevron was stepped, almost digitised. the green chevrons on the sides of the bonnet were made simple solid rectangles and other minor changes were made. the closer paint scheme was never released but it's what's being shown in the promotional images of this 'reissue' of exhaust on sites like anime export and Premium collectables.

[drifand]

Ur oh, this is on Amiami as well, I wonder did they realised this or is this the unaltered version.

HLJ got the pictures RIGHT though as it is the stepped version.

[UltraMarginal]

I can't imagine how it could be the smooth version as i'm sure there would be legitimate kickback from Phillip Morris.

[drifand]

I have asked Amiami, but I think it would be the stepped one.

[SuspectimusPrime]

Not to mention all the collectors that paid high prices for the stepped one.

[griffin]

HLJ sold out again... no wonder there was a second release.

Supplies seem to keep on being exhausted. :p

[drifand]

Supplies seem to keep on being exhausted. :p

Amiami still has it. I am surprised as normally it would be sold out quick.

[1AZRAEL1]

Seems I've missed the boat again :(

[drifand]

Amiami dude, go go go

[1AZRAEL1]

Amiami dude, go go go

Yea you posted that just as i posted haha. Ordered :)

[griffin]

Release date is October 2nd according to Amazon Japan... if the other sources didn't have an exact day of October listed.

[1AZRAEL1]

Do we know what the difference is between the old one and the new one? I'm a bit outta the loop.

[drifand]

there should be no differences. amiami and PC may have posted the wrong pictures for reference of the product as we know the paint apps were altered.

[1AZRAEL1]

So no paint difference between the 1st release and this release os what you're saying?

[drifand]

Yup no differences.

[1AZRAEL1]

Yup no differences.

Awesome.

Good thing i jumped on amiami, they are finished preorders. As well as road rage too.

[UltraMarginal]

keep in mind that most of the images posted on these websites are of the unreleased paint scheme. What you will be getting will most likely look like this:

[1AZRAEL1]

Ah that now clears up what is meant by "stepped" paint job. Also notice the green on either side of the hood is also full rectangle instead of the triangle bit cut into it.

[Megatran]

Any chance it could look like the aftermarket paint job for US online retailers such as TFsource? Perhaps excess stock they couldn't move as oppose to a re-run?

You disappoint me Sinnertwin. I wanna see the various TF forums light up with angry posts....again :p

[1AZRAEL1]

And my preorder has come in on AmiAmi, a week ago :o only just saw the email. Paid for and being sent woohoo

[SuspectimusPrime]

Purchase option back on (http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=FIGURE-007800&page=top%2Fsearch%2Flist%3Fs_cate4%3D9688%24pagema x%3D40%24getcnt%3D0%24pagecnt%3D1). Looks like some people may have cancelled their pre-orders. Grab it fast!

[drifand]

We need another Philip Moris incident to have a total sellout.

[frozensage]

Does this guy exist from the original g1 cartoon? wish they reissued wheeljack, only just started noticing these masterpiece toys and I really want a wheeljack and soundwave.

He was never in the cartoon.

If you're after Wheeljack and buying on eBay, beware of the "TAKASA-TONY" knock offs. The genuine product has jumped in price (as it was only released 12 months ago), however no where near the ridiculous level as MP Soundwave's price (x2-3).
