I did a foolish thing and cancelled my preorder for Masterpiece Sideswipe due to the initial reviews around quality and was expecting a Hasbro release like Soundwave which I was waiting for. I've tracked a few places down but was seeing if anyone had one or knewbof a place where you could get one shipped for less then $100?
Cheers,
Gundamgokin
maybe try ebay:

Gundamgokin - if you haven't ordered one already I'll have one for sale at the fair tomorrow. (I think you won my Krok on eBay too - if I'd realised you might be there I'd have brought him to Sydney with me!)
That's awesome mate I never thought to check if you were on the forums. I'm also the top bidder on your Skyfall figure. I'm pretty impressed with the appearance of those two and with Sideswipe as well I'd be really interested to see what else you have.
Would you be wIlling to work these out in advance of tomorrow to lock it in as I'll be on the lookout for specific items.
I reckon Hasbro will release MP Sideswipe in due time. MP Lambor only came out a few months ago, and Hasbro usually releases their MPs about a year or so later (MP Soundwave's release seems freakishly fast ;)). But hey, if you can get a TakTOM version at the Fair tomorrow, then even gooderer. :D
Thanks Goktimus, I was waiting on the Hasbro announcement to rectify some of the issues with the paint but then I heard about the restrictions that Lamborghini gave them in regards to usage of the Countach design.
I've ordered a Tigertrack so that's put a ceiling on what I am willing to pay for this mold anyway.
All of my other MPs are TakTom releases except my Targetmaster Hot Rod which I always wanted so I now have 3 different versions of what is probably the weakest mold...
But Hasbro Soundwave will be a definite so if anyone knows how we can secure these then I'll definitely be up for that. Maybe even the Acid Storm if the paintjob is better then the CHUG release...
I would love to hold Lambor for you, but I've had interest from Deceptic-Optics too who PMed me about Masterpieces earlier. It'll be $95, so if that works I suppose it's first in first served tomorrow at the stall, but I will have heaps more stuff you might be interested in, so either way I think you'll have a good day at the fair (plus the other Ozformers are all great to hang out with and get to know.)Quote:

Yes both ship internationally. I've only ever dealt with RK and its extremely easy, its just like ebay upon checkout, however you just select the country you want your items to be sent to from the drop down menu, than it will make you log-on to your paypal account where the address details will be pulled and shipping prices are rather fair.Quote:
