Takara Masterpiece MP-25 Tracks

It's obviously just the size of the flight stand that accounts for the increase. No way that stand would fit into a standard TT MP car box.

Hasbro loves to sell to its customers / consumers a whole of of air.

Well looks like TT may just have made an error in putting that box size W440xH290xD110mm (same as United Warriors Box which is bigger than that of the big MP boxes) or they are still not certain on the box size and still examining how to package with the flight stand so they placed the biggest box size they have (though it will not be good for shipping cost on preorders where the box size matters). As i have said IMO the flight stand is not that big and it folds so i reckon it is still possible they can fit that in the usual MP car box...if that may not be the case they may have a new set of box size just like what happened to Soundwave's cassettes and may just be used by future MPs.

Update: Well tried my rusty Japanese after 2years and inquired through Takara Tomy Mall on the box size of Tracks. They said they made a mistake on the size indicated and confirmed it is the Standard MP Car Box (210x147x70mm)
So no new box size this time so postage or shipping cost should just be the same as usual MP cars.

Here is the reply:

^Box size update

Nice, thank you for taking the time to enquire about this and confirm the box size. I wasn't aware the stand folded either.

What Blastwave said, thanks. One day I'm going to build a fort out of brick sized MP boxes

Just wish it wasn't so far away (time wise).

Glad to be of help...

Well, NY need to readjust their shipping cost as it was doubled in fact trippled.

I realised when I first post here for NY its shipping for tracks was about 2500 yen for EMS

Road rage is about 2100, I am thinking they might have loose the stand on the other one.

Still surprised with the up cost in shipping. But at least Roadrage was more affordable at $68 shipped for me.
