Where's my MP-05 - Page 3 - Cybertron.CA - Canadian Transformers News and Discussion

It's weird...I wonder why was A3U probably the last store in North America to get their Megatrons.

For some reason I have terrible luck with the Masterpiece series. While I did not have any problems with MP-02, MP-03 and MP-04, both MP-01 and MP-05 have been utterly horrid.

These ones were all shipped by surface. That is why it took a month for me to get them. Then when they did arrive, I was in Toronto for two weeks with TransformersCon. Then it took longer to pack them as there was about 400 of them to be packed up and then more for the store as well. The whole ordeal was treamendous and a real issue. If you want to read about some of the hassle (for US, not really for Canada) you can check out this thread in our own forum: http://www.agesthreeandupforum.com/F...pic.php?t=1313

Anyway, because of all this it has put us a little behind on a few things like the Revoltech Megatron and the Nike figures. It seems so easy for things to get all messed up but then takes months for things to get back on track.

Either way, I appologize for all the issues. I can only hope that we can offer quick service and low shipping for everything in the future and hope that not everyone hates me!

Thanks for the explanation Spencer. No hate here.

Heh, not sure where you got your prices from but I sold them for $95 US or $120 CAD in the store for preorders. I had a few of them for $140 when they came in stock but not many.

I would feel like I was ripping someone off selling it at $240. That is even more than the MP-04 was!

No, I was asking one of your employee with a friend the other day she was unpacking the MP 05 from your boxes. She said they are 240. But I don't see 400 of them. I only seen a few. Oh, yeah, someone is selling at 235 by the ways, cheaper than u by 5 dollars, taxes included too at Richmond if u don't know.

Wow, that is pretty weak Jeff,

I hope that you get it soon...
It is funny how sometimes a package can take so long, and sometimes so quick...

BadJeff · 05-23-2007, 10:23 AM

Yeah it happens. That's why I'm not bustin' Spencers balls on this. Actually, that was mighty fine of you (Spencer) to post here with an update. You know what they say about Canada post, $0.02 for a stamp, $0.50 for storing your letter.
With my luck though, it's going to get delivered today while there's no one home. Should have left a note on the door for them to "leave parcel with the dog"

Ages3andUp told me 240, but sold out. Where in Richmond can you get MP-05? My friend still need one.

Once again, THESE WERE NEVER $240! I have no idea where this number came from. They were $140 in store, I am unsure where this extra $100 comes from.

As a matter of fact, I believe the site still has one left to buy at $120 USD. Here is the link:http://www.agesthreeandup.com/main.j...&catalog_id=44, again, showing it was never close to $240.

You may not have seen all the Megatrons at once. If you came in on May 4th then you would have seen 2 full pallets to the roof of the store with this one figure on the pallets.

This is an image of Nicole with one of the pallets.

I should have gotten a picture of both of the pallets but I waited a few days before a picture was taken and by then 100 or so in store preorders had already picked up and packing for shipping had already started as well.
