Wished this was year of the horse and they place the horse on the handle. I would so buy it.
It should be noted that since this is a Hasbro HK release, if you want one that doesn't have an orange plug glued to the front, look for Asian sources instead of BBTS... and make sure you have a permit to own or import it in your state. (Customs are likely to seize it, and require you to prove that you are allowed to own one if you are in a legalised state)
I thought the plug could be removed anyway?
it depends. Ive seen one that has been glued in and another that was just an orange plug that pops straight outQuote:

DAI Stack (w/head upgrade) will end up with my MP collection unless a MP Diaclone/early animation Magnus comes out.
It's a shame, but that MP-5/MP-5G just doesn't appeal to me, much as I want it to - I'll continue to make do with Hegemons (or is that Hegemen?).
The 'gold' looks as if the chrome has oxidised and discoloured somewhat. If you're gonna make it gold then do it like a Lucky Draw item.
Did Megatron ever step into The Golden Lagoon? I honestly can't remember...Quote:

i think that may be the only new image on the new Megatron box? At first glance they seem photoshopped. I'll have to double check when i get home, but i doubt that they would've scaled it down to MP 10 Convoy size,
they haven't even done normal masterpiece coneheads >.<...Quote:

GOLD?
Bad risk mate. Other than guys here in Perth I won't be taking orders for other states if I were you. It will be dead stock .Quote:

I would be interested in 2 if it happens. I have all the required documentation if it doesn't go ahead anyway.Quote:

I think it looks pretty interesting as a display gun and would look nice beside Sleep Convoy in bot mode. Hmm..
The new image of the toy itself has me liking it. The face looks weird, but the colouring is a nice type of Gold that isn't reflectively shiny like Lucky Draw toys, so you still get all the detail/sculpting showing through.
If it shows up on the usual HK dealer sites, I'll be getting one.
Don't think it is chrome at all. Just good gold paint

Does anyone actually like this in gold?
Looks awful in robot mode.
i don't mind picking up the odd figure that is so hilariously bad in every aspect that i actually enjoy it. This isn't one of them :pQuote:

Wow!!! That looks fantastic... :D
Normally that would go in the Unauthorised section, but it looks to be making a comparative point, not promoting it.
Still, just be careful with looking for opportunities to post up 3rd party items in the Transformers section, in case someone new thinks Hasbro or TakaraTomy are the ones about to release the item.
(and I wouldn't have a clue if a topic already exists in there for it, to move it)

I can't tell how big it is, so not sure if it is tiny to be held by Megatron, or a larger scale to display on a shelf.
It's not in cartoon colours though, so not as exciting as if we were finally getting a cartoon accurate Reflector toy.
Pretty neat though.
Ohhh niceQuote:
