I was going to ask this in the gunformers thread but I figure this might get a bit more attention: for those in Victoria, what is a suitable safe/box+lock combination you can buy to satisfy Storage requirements?
I think it's fair to say no one here owns one - since its been so difficult in the past no one has bothered.Quote:

May primus be kind and our wallets hold well
More importantly it shows Megs will be packed in bot form...like most of them out there.Quote:

TT are killing it!
He looks so good!
Do you think the stock and silencer attachments might set off a few alarms?Quote:

Very nice although I was hoping they might of given us a close up of the head I'm sure it was just the angle but it just looked slightly off to the pictures and renders we have seen.
I'd like to think not as I have two coming and I'd like them to arrive safe and sound. I think the more flags people raise the more interest customs will have in the item. Now that I think about it I wouldn't mind seeing an x-ray image of mp-36.Quote:

I'll apply for it once I actually know when I'm bringing MP36 in.Quote:

If I'm desperate I could get my brother to post it for me.
As to how long a B709 permit takes, I'm unsure. When I applied for my B709 permit back in 2010 to bring back MP 05 from Singapore, it took 3 working days to get processed by WAPOL. But its fair to say each police force has differing workloads.
Thanks. Appreciate the info :).Quote:

Not sure if you are being ironic.

I always use emoticons to express if I'm being ironic, so no, I wasn't. I hadn't seen that image before, but damn that's awesome! :DQuote:

Video review:

Has MP-36 been released in Hong Kong, or are these reviews of factory samples or something?
The release date for Japan is of course the 1st of April. :)
Edited to remove speculation, answer posted here.Quote:

Absolutely incredible! I love the articulation, the detail, the extras, the engineering (!) and silvery finish on the paint. Worth every dollar!
He really does transform like a bayformer though lol

The hands!!! That's what mp-10 should have in the first place.
Lots of sounds, pretty okay overall
I was thinking MP10 is great as it is, i never thought we'd need an updated MP10 but next to MP36 he's clearly outdated.Quote:

Aesthetically TT really captured the G1 cartoon look which i think is amazing. As good looking as the 3rd party bots are they never captured the look and feel from the cartoons.
And the fan service with the accessories i do appreciate very much!
Really loving the direction TT are currently taking the MP line.
I was wondering whether you can change the speech to English.
wait for the Hasbro version. lolQuote:

They couldn't be worse than the translator for the English version of Headmasters. Cyberton indeed.
the soundtrack to the review... ULTIMATE!!!
and yes megs 2.0 looks awesome! i'll be posing this one in bot mode and MP-5 in gun mode for sure.
Hey, you never know, some talented 3rd party engineer might sample some of the G1 speech and give us a replacement sound fx module...Quote:

Pretty sure this will be the talk of the toy for next month.
