    I think that's a lot. but I pre-ordered min online months before it was released.

    Not to worry, every one is new at some point mate,
    I personally would mention that I got mine for about $45 +shipping to give perspective on what it's RRP was. so if you pay $130 or more your understanding that what your paying is the aftermarket price at the moment, if it's actually that high.
    (the $45 was with a pre-order discount though so I think the RRP worked out to be about 55-60. )
    I think etailers here were stocking it for about $80.

    Robot Kingdom and Anime-Export both seem to have at least one in stock with exchange rate and shipping will come to approximately $120 to $130 AU anyway but they are legit sources and both have the amazon exclusive (an extra faceplate) and the collector coin, which is nice.

    Hound? don't know about any beast wars representation or 2000 era stuff.
    Jazz?

    If you are trying to get it off, turn the tank turret 90 degrees so that it's barrel is facing to one side instead of the front, and wiggle it around a little to see if it pops off. If that doesn't work, keep rotating the turret clockwise or anti-clockwise with constant careful wiggling, as the plastic tab may have moved off its 90 degree setting (it is just screwed in, and the screw can move if someone was rough with the tank turret... like with my first Blitzwing as a kid).

    How many HasTakTomy combiner gestalts have been released or confirmed for release from the recent CW / UW lines? Not including double ups if both Hasbro & TakTomy released the 'same' combiner gestalt. And excluding SDCC versions. Thanks.

    Dear Gok and other Japanese speaking members,

    Any chance of a bit of a translation from this video from the 6:11:00 mark?

    Masterpiece Optimus Primal!

    She's basically saying that MP Beast Convoy is aiming to be a more show-accurate. She explains about how the TV series was CG animated and how the MP toy will be based on the CG model's textures, thus creating a more realistic looking beast mode.

    With all the goldish and clear plastic on it, what's the build quality like on the YOTG MP Soundwave? Might get one this week since it's $99.
    I have a list of all G1 characters that have been released in CHUG form. You can find it here. Please feel free to let me know if I got anything wrong so I can fix it.
