For that price, I couldn't resist. This will be my first order with HLJ

Takara or Honda uploaded a region-blocked clip of these MPs, but someone else has shared it region-free.

Oh yeah... I just tend to trust HLJ for my MP purchases but some things to consider

Thanks, the transformation is skipped over but it generallly looks rather straight forward - compared to a Sunstreaker.

By that video Reboost's function is Citadel Guardian? Does that mean anything to anyone else? Of course Reboost's bio could be absolutely anything since it's a new character.

A couple of comparison photos of MP Skids in both modes, next to the original 1985 toy.

I wish they included a G1 toy head in addition to the animation-homage version we're getting.

I think I'm skipping Skids, I have the 3P one that I'm content with. Though I'm getting the red one lol

I'm kinda thinking the same, the 3P one is more inline with the other recent cartoony MP designs.

Just keep in mind that HLJ charges GST on top of their prices, so add another $10-ish, depending on where the exchange rate is in November.

I think these should be at EB Games as well (and Amazon Australia), but prices of imported MPs are usually quite high here, and probably still higher than HLJ plus GST plus postage.

Yes... plus GST on post. And HLJ post is not exactly cheap. And if it is not in stock, you can't get an exact shipping price added to your cart, which means you may be in for bill shock when the item arrives in stock.

At least I'm glad Skids is not $200+ like Hound was. But I miss the $80 Masterpiece cars , which I thought were expensive in the day .
