FamiToy, VHobby and 1Toy's PO usually come with the Amazon Exclusive item (anti-hypnosis device) and collectors coin.

XL-Shop PO rarely bring together the exclusive items.

The non-PO currently on sale at 1Toy (not sure if theres any unit still left) comes with the exclusive items.

FamiToy PO should be coming in within this week.

what? i thought it was just packed separately to prevent breakage while the item is in the box.. i can't believe you have to remove such a small item to transform?

nope, you dont have to take it off during transformation. you are right, it's just packed separately to prevent breakage while in the box. and good news is that they give you 2 sets of mirrors, so in case you lose one, you have a spare.

once you have the side mirrors in, you dont have to take them out again.

yours might just be a lemon though, the paintjob on my piece is perfect.

but i agree with you on the points. to me, wheeljack has the best transformation of all the car mps to date. it's ingenious and complex, and i really salute the designers who came up with the transformation.

where is cheapest to get MP Ultramagnus & Starsaber & what is their price? of course include any exclusive items.

Thanks man! Sounds good. Looking forward to the transformation

Haha. The side mirrors come in two pairs, packed via a model kit-esque runners.

Taking the side mirror of during transformation is not a must, but not sure why the instructions that come with it tells to do so (or I may not understand Japanese to not know what was the actual instructions lol).

if you're referring to the first picture of the instructions, it actually tells u to put the mirrors in before you do anything lol. nowhere else does it ask you to take it out after that. if you see the drawing of the final transformation, the side mirrors are there.

Ultra Magnus:
FamiToy seems to be the cheapest, but I'm not sure whether the PO is still open. Last I asked was during the Hari Raya holidays.
1Toy, ToyWiz, XL-Shop and VHobby already closed their PO, but knowing 1Toy, they should be getting advanced shipment and open the earlier stock for non-PO customers at a higher price than PO.

Star Saber:
Same goes as the above. But most shops have their PO still open. Contact them for details on how to PO.

NOTE:
FamiToy doesnt seem to have a proper 'tracking system' of customer's orders, because (1) No deposit is required (2) Orders are made either via WhatsApp or email (3) The shop owners will reply to you with a simple 'OK' or 'Thank You', with no receipt / order number. But they seem to be the cheapest around.

1Toy, VHobby, Toywiz, XL-Shop : Better PO handling with proper receipts and records. But price vary between these shops, and if you miss the PO, price will most likely increase when item arrive especially if the item is a hot seller (case in point, MP-12 Lambor)



Exclusive Items:
Based on my experience buying MPs, only ToyWiz, Vhobby, 1Toy and FamiToy bring in together with the Amazon.JP exclusive item and collector coin. This is usually for PO customer and I think the earlier shipments (as long as they still have stock for the exclusive items).
XL-Shop rarely bring in the figure together with the exclusive items, even if you PO with them.

No wonder! Lol. Read the instructions wrong. Sorry for the confusion!

Just don't get why TakTom didn't simply insert them in first place like the other car MPs.

probably to prevent breakage, since it's quite a tiny piece of plastic sticking out. same reason why they gave you a spare set i suppose.

what exclusives does UM & SS have?

Ultra Magnus:-

Rumor has it that the Amazon JP exclusive item would be either:-
a) the exchangeable face
b) a 2nd pair of hands
c) a Daniel & Spike figure
One of these could be the exclusive item, while the other two might be packed together with the figure.
Also comes with the collector's coin for Asia market (excluding Japan)

Star Saber:-

Unconfirmed rumors states that the shield is an exclusive item, since it only appeared in the last episode. The shield has been shown to convert to a stand to hold Star Saber in alt-mode. But these are as I said, unconfirmed rumors.

Hi Guys,

Been a TF forummers here in LYN since ages ago, life has caught up and sadly have to let go some of my beloved collection.

Details in here: https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=3357826

Cheers!

Nope.. the shield/the jet stand will come with normal release as per tweet by Hideashi Yuki's (Designer of MP-24 Star Saber) tweet.

Translations: For shield of MP Star Saber, and says the development intentionally rather than have to stand the display shield. ". Was diverted as a shield to display table" is the correct answer. By the way, the display stand will be attached as a normal product specifications.

im still on the fence for SS.. since he has too many white parts.. may turn yellow overtime... any thoughts on that?

the ones on prowl lots of issues? they came installed

nope, no issue with prowl

and so far for me, no issues with wheeljack.

great and friendly seller right here.. not sure if he still has anything left on his list but, my first ever masterpiece! i am a very happy person today

Good price haul eh?
