    i quite like lancalot's mesh mod - looks great and fills the gap nicely

    given i'm new to collecting and it's my 3rd MP in 3 months i'm really enjoying it. The articulation is great and i'm loving how the ankle joints move

    i think this guy will live at my work desk when i get back into the office next year

    Same here. Judging from the coins that people are posting w/ their MP Smokescreens, it appears that the Asian version has come out a bit earlier than the Japanese version.

    Nope. That seems to be a Sinophone market exclusive thing. The coins don't personally interest me all that much TBH.

    Same here, anything that would make this cost less, I will go for it.

    I like this best because of the colour scheme. Amazing how some colour can make all the difference.

    Are they actually charging extra for the coin or is it a free bonus item? Just outta curiosity, what's the preorder and standard retail price for Sinophone (Asian) market MP Smokescreen? I'm just asking to compare it with TakaraTOMY's price to see how much extra is being charged for the coin (if any). TakaraTOMY's RRP for MP Smokescreen is ¥6825 ($74), and Amazon JP's preorder price is ¥4963 ($53).

    Hey lancalot, you might like to correct some of MP Smokescreen's info on post #1. (I've made similar mistakes from copying/pasting from previous threads too )

    Somewhat interesting to note that Smokescreen's RRP is 735JPY dearer than Prowl and Bluestreak. I'm guessing the additional $7.90 is for the launchers.

    I wouldn't think the extra weapons alone is the cost, might be the paint, and the extra body skirtings. I would thing G2 sideswipe would be in the same ballpark?

    In the end, it is about $10-$15 more for the coin but for those who get the launchers might be worth it. It didn't bothered me in my case. I am happy to pay under the 6000 yen ballpark shipped.

    Yeah, both MP G2 Lambor and Smokescreen are the same standard price, so I guess the extra $7.50 must be for the additional retooling. I'm assuming the Nissan heads are all gang moulded together, so probably for the launchers, fender and spoiler for Smokescreen; and the spiked tyres and weapons for G2 Lambor.

    Transform and roll out


    Smokescreen looks stunning a great paintjob on him and he really looks unique of the 3 datsuns. Originally I was just going to buy only Prowl and Bluestreak but he just looks fantastic in both modes. Can't wait till Ultra Magnus comes out since I have plenty of cars to load into him now.
