iGear PP05

[1orion2many]

I keep looking at these, I just can't get past thst price. I know the new MP's aren't much bigger but they are a lot cheaper, I think on average around $65.00 Aus per new MP (12 & 14) compared to $110.00 per item. Sigh!

It is pricy but keep in mind that you get a tonne more accessories and display options. It is also likely to be free shipping from Igear shop which does bring it closer to what the Japanese Sideswipe MP will cost and that is only a bit taller than a deluxe.

Yeah the price is pretty standard for 3rd parties, and when you consider the cost of MP Sideswipe, it's fairly standard for collectors toys in general. Not saying it's a good thing, but with the value to quality ratio of Hasbro's main lines deteriorating I fear it's hear to stay.

They may now actually be in hand, or being delivered to igear for distribution as I type (this is of course me speculating with fingers, toes and everything else crossed! C'mon, it's been over a year now and I'm sick of waiting!)

It's not on its way till we get that fateful email, and even then free shipping is not fast shipping. I share your eagerness though, I am actually equally eager to get this toy as I am the larger Giant from Maketoys. Mostly because I'm curious to see what Igear can do with a larger toy, could be good, could be bad, finding out should be fun though.

I just checked the preorder page on the igear website, and it appears that they have pushed back another 10 days to be released on 10-08-2012

Not happy Jan.

[VERT]

But My order page has changed. Did just say paid. Now its saying awaiting shipment so thats a good start i guess.

[Trent]

It really is a joke what you guys have had to go through with these. I'm glad that they don't interest me.

[Ultra Mackness]

I think you may be right Vert. I got this response to my email this morning from igear:

"The pp05 is releasing, but all orders will be shipped before August 10."

So hopefully they have them in hand and are processing orders over the next 10 days.

fingers crossed.

[Trent]

Seems as though people are receiving shipping notices for these. For those of you who have ordered, then waited, waited, waited, waited and waited some more, your time is at hand.

Keen to hear reviews.

[Lord_Zed]

I haven't go my notice yet, however the website does list them as instock now, so hoping.

Three delays are enough thanks.


Edit: I stand corrected I did get shipping notice after midnight, talk about 11th hour.

[VERT]

Wow mine ARE SHIPPED! they had a photo up on face book the other day showing all the boxes of them too.
