Which is about the same as PC's preoder price - both are offering pretty competitive early bird prices IMO (which is great news for fans as we continued to be spoiled for choice). :D Although PC's free shipping (as well as circumvention of international Customs*) are added bonuses.

On Reddit more than a few people were complaining about the price.

The way I see it, you're paying for the engineering - it clearly has a complex transformation, looking at all the seams and hinges, in order to go from a proportioned (but not totally accurate) Walther P38 to an articulated, screen-accurate robot. That also means it has a very high part count.

Yeah, the free shipping, not having to deal with import red tape plus energon points and likely Asia Edition bonus are definitely big pluses for PC!

We are certainly very spoiled for choice! Good time to be a collector!

BBTS... Umm Wot:eek:

Hahah, peace through tyranny and lack of kink-shaming?

Almost preordered from PC in the event that I start collecting MPs again, then realised that if I was to go down that path I'd be spending between 8-10k playing catchup and aaaaaaaa I really can't justify it.

Lovely toy tho.

I'm the opposite. I keep looking at these Combiner Wars/ Titans Return stuff and think should I start buying these. Then the thought of playing catchup and $$$ involved scares me off! I'm happy with Masterpiece only collecting these days.

Your comments may change after receiving the product.
If we are going to talk about engineering then mp-10 is pretty straight forward and should be even cheaper.

Looking at a third party Willis for example and can incorporate paint and metal with a great price at $120. Says a lot different.

Furthermore mp Magnus is bigger and has quite a bit of engineering and is priced significant lower.

I just want to see it on hand whether is worth $240 at all.
