That was my first thought as well... and I wonder why it was deemed necessary.

Still... the toy is very sexy. The real Tracks would approve.

Does anyone have any experience with cancelling an order with Nippon-Yasan?
I've decided to go with Premium Collectables instead.

While they're definitely more pronounced than previous MP's, i think the lighting in the photo is probably highlighting them more than they will in person.

Perhaps they did this cause his face is red so the previous approach wasn't obvious enough? I think Bumblebee could have done with more defined lines than what he got, the angles are a bit lost with his face sculpt, so i'm ok with this change for now at least!

Is this an assumption? I think they would like to keep the box sizes consistent with other releases. It will increase the weight just a little, and the stand itself adds to the cost of the figure. I would personally rather not pay extra for a stand, but I think its a pretty cool addition to have for a flying car ;)

It is a bigger box, they won't be charging 2,500 yen as opposed to normal 500-700 yen for shipping. Is obvious.

Are there any pics showing MP Tracks in bot mode standing alongside other MP Autobot cars? Would like to see how tall he stands in comparison.

Should Tracks be taller than other Autobot cars (Prowl, Sideswipe) or similar height?

So damn sexy :D Can't wait to get him.

Similar height. Bigger box doesn't mean bigger bot

It's been 3 days and the pre-order for Tracks is still open on amiami. This is a record for Masterpiece I think. amiami usually fill up their pre-orders within couple of hours.
