Ditto ... MP Smokescreen arrived today. :)
Got mine today from Robby K as well, now sitting in car form at my desk :D
I just love his colour ....it certainly standout
I've noticed that everyone who's received their MP Smokescreen has also got the coin, so I'm assuming it's from Hong Kong. It only came out on Amazon Japan yesterday... I'm hoping mine will get shipped this weekend. But yeah, funny how some non-Japanese retailers are receiving theirs before those in Japan. :o
TakaraTomy's release dates in Japan are only a guide for HK Hasbro's release dates of their products, particularly lately.
It used to be aligned well, when Hasbro HK were just releasing the occasional JP item to their own market, but now Hasbro HK have become more independent in recent years, with their own products, their own bonus items, and now their own release dates.
Maybe originally, they had an agreement that would prevent them from releasing a TakaraTomy item before it is released in Japan.... but since Hasbro HK would be getting their stock shipped direct from the factory anyway, instead of via Japan, if there is no agreement, Hasbro HK could start releasing their items whenever they get them (like Hasbro US does).
Got Prowl and Smokescreen sitting in my POL with BBTS, and had Red Alert show up a few days ago :). Looking at getting Bluestreak but want to find him cheaper than BBTS sells him for - sadly Robot Kingdom has sold out :( Any suggestions of cheap places to find him are welcome :)
Wheres the review thread?
I don't think anyone has started one yet.
If you want to start one, copy some of the details off the Prowl and/or Streak reviews, and you can use this image from our server as well if you want...
