HLJ is still listing him for August.
There better not be delays... otherwise Magnus might have the same difficulties come xmas.
Meh, if he's delayed, he's delayed. Not much i can do about it even if i wanted to anyway.
I'm not bothered either to be honest. More time to save up.Quote:

This just in. Seibertron says he's delayed.
They are just reporting on Hobby Search tho, so I won't believe it till HLJ or BBTS confirm it.
I'm hoping that is what causing the delay. means the figure comes out better and less frustrating for fans when we finally get the figure and it's not gonna break in 5 seconds the moment we fiddle with it. There are plenty of other toys anyways to keep me occupied hehehe.Quote:

Good luck with that.;) I would never preorder anything with Ebay for that very reason.:confused:Quote:

well, if it's true, I'm going to have to cancel my ebay preorder.... will put me outside the 45 day case opening limit....
what are you going to do Kranix?
Just open a dispute on day 44. That buys another month for it to be resolved I believe.Quote:

thanks for the advice, yes I think that's what I'll end up doing... problem is; I've messaged the seller 3 times already, with no reply. They do seem to be reputable... close to 100% positive feedback and been around for 10 years....
worth the shot for $60AUD I guess.... just not sure where to get him from if I end up cancelling.
To be fair, if I was a seller, possibly with a language barrier, I'd probably be less than bothered about replying, depending on the volume of messages I get from buyers.Quote:

yeah, I've been polite so far... just asking nicely about estimated postage times...
but you are right, being nice goes a long way... OK, gotta just be patient and wait, and not forget to open up the case late August.
Oh, I don't doubt you're polite - more a case of if you have 10 people sending 30 messages about postage for an item that isn't due out for a month (before the delay), it's a lot of stuff you can't really do much about. :PQuote:

I think I'll do the 44 day/ PM thing if I am left with no other option.Quote:

One of the recent Japanese Hobby magazines have Wheeljack listed as September, but no exact day.
Huzaa! :D:D:DQuote:

Looks confirmed on delay. hlj updated the date of release.
I didn't get a message from HLJ saying he was delayed. Oh well, looks like I've got a busy September with HLJ. 6 items coming out then.
Release date is 20 Sep or 26 Sep
Bummed that he's being delayed, but on the plus side I can just leave him in the private warehouse to combine shipping with Legends Rattle and Primal that arrive a month after. :)
History repeating, just like Prowl before him, this always seems to happen with Taktom MP's. Not that I mind, there's enough for me to pay of In August as is.
Now I wonder when next year MP Ultra Magnus will actually be released? ;)
First look at his box, plus lots of other figures in boxes.

So is that a second run sideswipe I see?
It appears a confirmation that the news release about reissues that the mp-10 was fake and so were starscream and others but sounds like sideswipe and red alert are real.
Wished we know more about reruns as it may save some of us from buying a overly expensive mp-10 at $400 currently
That release of Lambor is just for the TF EXPO
No Starscream reissue?:(
Bugger #2, I just recently decided to pick that up if it was being reissued.
Would have questioned why others are not present.Quote:

Didn't you try ebay during their Sunday 20% promotion which brings price to under $150 delivered?Quote:

Aren't you going to the Expo at all? Take a day off work, or go overnight on a weekend. I'd go if I was only like 3-4 hours away (on a bullet train).
My bad, not able to find any of those at cheaper deals?Quote:

On the bright side, summer in Japan is pretty horrible, so it's nice to get away from that for the worst of it.Meh, I'll keep an eye out once I head back home to Osaka, and something will show up sooner or later.Quote:

Like one month ?
Only 25 days till RKs 20th September (listed) release date. So like a month, but a bit less :)
