MP 53+ Crosscut(Takara Tomy Mall Exclusive)

[Krayt]

Bugger, this one was the only version of the mold I was keen on, but if it's a TT Mall exclusive that makes it a bit of a pain to get.

Oh well.

We’ll point you to good OS stores

The thought's appreciated, but I'm OK without him. He's not a super-huge priority figure, just a 'It'd be nice'-type one, and there are other $$$-priorities in the meantime.

If he doesn't show up in Oz, BBTS has him on pre-order. Even though I haven't collected much MP figures in a while, I did want this one because he reminds me of my car.

It does come with the Motocompo and every weapon Reboost did, but it doesn't have Skids' arm mounted Blaster or Reboost's Holographic Driver.

Aside from the hefty price, I don't see why we need pre-orders 8 months before release. April next year feels like a whole year away, and the excitement dies off before these long-term pre-orders get released.
Don't they trust these over-priced figures selling, so they only make enough to cover orders?
That would also prevent these more expensive figures from being discounted later, if they aren't warming shelves or flooding retailers with excess stock.

A couple of cheaper options to the au$198 at EBGames - OMP and FalconsHanger - both at sg$100 (in Singapore) before postage.
(the sg$ and au$ are usually close enough to parity to not need to convert)

MP Senator Crosscut was originally meant to be out in the last week of April at EBGames, but has been pushed back to September, which is a five month delay for something that was released in Japan and Asia on time in March... so I wonder if Hasbro Australia missed out on getting their allocation.

The annoying thing is that it is sold out at the more reliable Asian sources, so it could be difficult to find one at a reasonable price if the Australia release ends up being cancelled due to lack of stock.

Even though Crosscut's release date was changed to September on the EBGames website last month, it is actually now out at EBGames... for those who ordered it.
A month later than originally scheduled, but at least it wasn't another 4 months until September.
