Let's hope someone gets their hands on it and reviews it on youtube before the pre-orders get released so that we could cancel the pre-orders if needed.
Mine doesn't seem to have diecast either. :confused: If I raise the chest and squeeze the sides gently I'm sure I can feel it bending in, and when I tap it with a spoon it doesn't make that metal-to-metal 'cling' sound... Not even the chrome hinges on the back are diecast.Quote:

EDIT: I tapped "diecast" and plastic parts MP11 parts with a spoon and could not really hear a difference. I looked closely at MP03g and MP11 and could not really see a difference. Then i scrapped the black "diecast" spine of MP11 with the spoon and saw the shiny silver of metal below. Maybe it is a different metal compound (I did not want to try and flex it) but I would still call mine diecast. If some MP11's have metal spines and others not then this is a running change during production. Interesting..
Tempted to pre-order MP-13 however am waiting closer to release for a possible price reduction (as we saw with MP-12). I'm not convinced in RK's ability to issue refunds given their poor after-sales communication history.
Yeh there's no point pre ordering so early. It won't be released for quite some time. The price might change and paying now would simply mean that you'd lose your paypal buyer protection after 45days.Quote:

Yeh that's because BBTS is awesome. Can't go wrong with the folks at BBTSQuote:

Now we just need Volkswagen to get back on board. Surely they would be kicking themselves after the whole 'Bumblebee is a Camaro' live-action movie series. That was the biggest missed opportunity since Tom Selleck was cast as Indiana Jones (for Tom Selleck that is :p).Quote:

Just preordered from there. Can't wait.Quote:

From TFW2005.
This isn't good news. I didn't think a 1:24 Alternator/Binaltech could fit in the MP10 trailer. So it'll be significantly smaller but a hefty 6800 yen.Quote:
- Vehicle mode will be painted. Paintwork overseen by Lamborghini.
- Fits in MP-10 Convoy trailer
- Accessories: Piledrivers, flare gun, missile launcher
MP-10 is scaled more with Alternity/Classics. The Spike figure as well.Quote:

The fact that they're calling a toy that fits into the back of MP-10's trailer a 'masterpiece'... that just doesn't sit right.
Who am I kidding; I'll probably end up getting him anyway :p
i wont be cancellingQuote:

I don't get why some people are still under the impression that the "Masterpiece" subline can still represent anything that is outside of the way the G1 characters appeared in the cartoon or their toy representations (except for the movie line which had an "M" somewhere in the title code or something to that extent to donate as such). I still read on numerous forums that Sideswipe could be retooled or colored to look like another character such as Breakdown just because he was a Lamborghini also. Or that Soundwave should turn into something more modern like a mobile phone and that R&F should turn into simcards (ok so I made that part up and didn't actually read it anywhere) but u get my point. If they create a masterpiece toy based on a G1 character, it's going to be a more detailed, articulated, accessorized version of their former toy with a more complex transformation. That's it.
Oh, and that wasn't entirely directed at you CoW87. Was just sayin. No offence :)
It would be hilarious if Soundwave literally turned out to be a cassette tape. :pQuote:
