Any tips for applying the 3463 stickers so they don't peel off over time? I may not even put them on as I don't think it will add to the looks of it overall.

I think the stickers absolutely do enhance the look of the toy. If you're concerned about "preserving" them, perhaps you could make a hi-res scan of your sticker sheet and submit it to reprolabels, then just apply the reprolabels on our Metroplex keeping the originals as your own personal master copy.

Only a few more weeks to go until it comes out here.

Which is the cheapest source for metroplex?

[UltraMarginal]

retail in australia I think we're looking at Target @$179 before any sales.

As great a toy as Metroplex is, he has faults as the Hasbro version of mine had.
His round red light on his chest was loose ( recommend not touching it on yours) and it didn't even have a connector piece to attach his loose arm. My replacement is fine though.

I love this guy. I knew he was big, but he seems so much bigger in person than in photos I've seen. He's just HUGE. At Target's current price of $119, that represents the best value in a Transformers toy for some time.

I like the stickers, but time will tell how well they last. There's almost no doubt Reprolabels.com will either release a sticker sheet (or sheets) with their own version or a duplication of the official release on better stock.

Metroplex has got some great detailing that doesn't come out very much with the white plastic, so he's crying out for some panel lining - I'm definitely giving this a shot at some stage.

My head/helmet seems a bit wobbly, and I'm having a bit of trouble with the visor. The instruction sheet doesn't seem to cover this, and the instructions overall lack the detail I would have hoped for. Another negative is a Transformer of this size could probably afford to have a more complex transformation and engineering, but unfortunately there's little update on the G1 version of the transformation.

Scamper's great. A neat little update.

Overall, a fantastic toy, lots of character, fantastic detail, massive size and superb value for money. Get 'em while they're hot!

I think this is one of the best TF's to come out in Aus retail for a long time, it will become iconic in years to come.

On stickers, I didn't have much intention of putting them on but when I felt Metro's plastic it seemed to have a slick almost slightly oily feel to it which means the stickers will not stick around over time. He looks great without them anyway
