Agesthreeandup MP-05 Megatron
polycounter lvl 18
Did anyone on here order this? I remember a thread about it a while back.
I placed my order back in January and paid the full price. It's been more than 3 months and I've yet to recieve any kind of update on the toy.
I saw the notice on their main page that the toys were shipping from Japan at the end of April. I e-mailed them to confirm my pre-order purchase and have not heard back.
Anyone else having problems with these guys?

"Megatron is now on his way to us. This figure was released this week in Japan and so shipping from Japan is underway. We are expecting to see this figure in the last week of April so shipping out of orders will commence then. We have been able to fulfill all unconfirmed preorders so everyone will be getting a notification today or tomorrow regarding payment for these figures. All orders MUST be paid by April 7th to ensure delivery and cost of these figures, otherwise your order will be forfeit and made available to someone else. Sorry for the harsh rules but it has been insane trying to get enough of the un-modified figures to fill all our orders. We are still working on getting more of these so in a few weeks expect more news regarding a possibility of more unmodified figures being available."
Keg, let us know what they say. We were required to pay up front for it, so hopefully we'll get them soon.
You'd think they'd include emails in the order form in that mailing list.
I'm just curious as to what's going on. We paid $150(?) for this toy and nothing has materialized in the last few months.

MP-05 Has now arrived in store on Friday May 4th. We will begin shipping out all orders of this figure right away. As we want to ensure all US orders making it through with the unmodified version of this figure, we will not be transporting figures in huge quantities at once. We will be sending out figures all week until they are all delivered. Thanks for your co-operation.

I'm a little underwhelmed. I was expecting a little more. But it's pretty cool overall. My biggest gripe is how the plastic doesn't really match up... making it a bit difficult to get everything to snuggly fit when he's transformed.
Here's the next figure in the series: Skywarp (Starscream repaint)

I'm waiting to take him all out until I set stuff up in my office again.
Looks big though! I like him. Legs are thin from the front, but oh well. He'll go well with my Prime.
The only thing I don't really like is the head. There's something 'off' about it. Seems big.
I might get Starscream next.
