Looks fantastic! hopefully they don't disappoint with the paint job!

(just be careful with the poking of fun guys... it might be harmless with no bad intentions, but enough of it all at once can look like a mobbing)

haha yeah sorry. I hope Gok understands I'm just poking fun at his 'shoulder' issue and is not a personal attack or anything.

Need side-on pics in bot mode. The MP Datsuns, as good as they were, suffered from over bulging backpack syndrome. Hopefully designers have over come this design weakness for this new mold.

I can see what you mean about the backpacks but honestly I don't think its a problem so I would hardly call it a weakness as the front windscreen and roof of the car have to go somewhere. Unfortunately the datsuns and lamborghinis aren't blocky like Optimus Prime and Soundwave which creates the design limitation.

Looks great but yeah, August is a long way off.
I expect to see a few MP seeker repaints to fill the time.

Did Wheeljack ever get a eHobby repaint or any other, besides the Diaclone red and white?

Nice to see the prototype pics, can't wait to see the coloured version. I'm going to try and avoid staring at it for too long and trying to work out how it works.

Now the question is: Where is the cheapest place to pre-order them from? Sick of paying BBTS prices when it seems they are cheaper most everywhere else.

I'll probably be sticking with HLJ.com & the Private Warehouse again, although i dont think their preorders are up yet. I have one order from BBTS when it was first announced but i'll be cancelling that

Also keep an eye on the other stores like AmiAmi, eHobbyBaseShop etc

$44USD for an MP Wheeljack? Nice work, Yoshi

Now to see how they handle the paintwork. Alitalia bells & whistles or cartoon simplicity?

[Tober]

Anime Export have good prices and ship fast, however after my last ordeal with them I won't be using them again. They require payment upfront and that shipping date is more than six months away, so I'll wait for HLJ, Amiami or HobbySearch to open their orders.

I mostly get the masterpiece from the HK dealer as you get the extra and the coins as well ....with the Japan based one you don't get anything
