Not yet, I'm not sure if those are even out in the US yet.

According to people on Tumblr, they are. And they're also available on the US TRU website.

So we'll get them in about six months to a year if at all, right? D:

Lol maybe not that bad... Beast Hunters just came out in the US and we already have them too. I'd give it a couple months at most.

MP Bluestreak preorders are now up at bbts: http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/p...70&mode=retail

Holy crap, it's like a subscription service... 1 a month! Going to be really hard not to hit 'Ship' when the first one comes out.

Yes i know, from the way it looks like it, if the 3rd parties ever had any gentleman's agreement on releases that's totally out the window. Now, they are just duking it out tooth and nail. Releasing whatever products they are able to on the schedule they can to grab our dollars. By now i'm sure with these expensive releases they will have to take some serious effort to convince us.

I guess more 3rd parties = more selection and maybe lower prices. But at the same time too many things I'd like and i'll be even more broke.

Ah, okay, my bad about the Stunticons. I didn't hear much in the news about it so I wasn't sure. I guess maybe because they're less popular than mainline figures.

Agreed there are way too many 3rd Party offerings out there right now, but of them Fansproject still gets my money. I've skipped out on most of the rest so far aside from the odd head upgrade or whatever. Gotta admit, Perfect Effect items are looking mighty tempting though.

Anyway, I get a bit of a break with Beast Hunters since I'm not really into the line so far. The money I save can go towards all these epic Masterpiece releases. I guess Arms Micron should be winding down or at least switching to BH molds so I won't be tempted by those so much anymore.

Thats why ima stick with A3U with my TF's. Just a quick drive down Lougheed for me, rather than waiting for a shipment to come in

[kirbenvost]

I'd like to do that but BBTS makes it a lot easier if I need to cancel my preorder due to lack of funds/change of mind. No questions asked.

I hear ya. A3U has that option, though you have to cancel before the item comes in. TF Source is a pain in the butt as you have to e-mail them to cancel the preorder. MP Soundwave is my last order with them, will prolly not deal with them after this.
