Mega Drive Megatron & PlayStation Prime update

[Megatran]

Got notification from HLJ that Megadrive Megatron is available & straight into my Private Warehouse.

Hmmm, that must have been delayed, as it used to have a release date of October 31st.

An earlier post by a person going by the name griffin.

Yes, it looks like November 20th is the current release date, according to Amazon Japan.

Optimus is currently February 28th.

Ah....

I was going by this topic that I did in October of updated Japanese release dates, but forgot to update it when I posted the new date here earlier this month.
Oops.

Anyone else get their Mega Drive Megatron? I'm having trouble getting mine to stand. The feet and the assembly they are connected to seems badly designed.

I got mine.

Not overly impressed to be honest. The instructions are useless as they miss out significant steps. Did you pull the heel out from the toe area?

I only pulled mine out, transformed him, untransformed him and back in the box.....

I'm still looking forward to getting mine. Is he top heavy or just poor feet design? Regardless of the instruction sheet, is the transformation intuitive?

Well, the legs are a bit fiddley, but essentially he's a shell former

That's disappointing to hear. But then again, almost all previous JP crossovers have been really bad shellformers or poor proportions in bot mode.
I want this more for the novelty than for the engineering or playability, but still disappointed to hear about flaws.

Yeah, that's pretty much why I bought him. The Sonic The Hedgehog Cartridge is pretty cool. As a SEGA fanboy, I am glad I got it, but will probably skip Playstation Prime.
