I have not been keeping up with TF releases, its that DotM Soundwave a 3P release of offical.  It looks amazing! 

EVERY third-party movieverse figure looks amazing, compared to any official option.

Even the straight KOs have more accurate colors, more detailed paint app's, and better prices...

The OSKOs have better engineering, more articulation, and more electronics...

Most amazing of all are the original figures, designed from scratch at Movie Masterpiece scale and accurate enough to put any previous versions to shame...

But what's really amazing is how these enterprising fans keep beating HasTak at their own game, delivering product that's better, cheaper, and often easier to obtain, even.

Find me an official Transformer toy that holds up to this level of scrutiny...

...and can actually, y'know, transformB))

I've also been collecting select 3rd party TF movieverse figures around the same time as I do Macross, and more than once I've been blown away on the ingenuity of the transformations. Yes, many seem to feature endless folding parts & overengineered complexity that makes the  DX Chogokins VF-171 & SV-262 seem very simple in comparison, but they do achieve their end objective of being rather show-accurate in both modes, despite how the transformation process itself were never figured out by the shows' mecha designers.

The one gripe all these while, especially as a Macross collector, was that no one could design a kibble-free underside for the movieverse jets, which is understandably hard since it's another surface to deal with as compared to say, the vehicle-bots since no one really cares about vehicle undersides. However, the recent 3rd party Bumblebee-movie Blitzwing toys have changed that and gives us an F4 Phantom that is essentially kibble-less. I'm so looking forward to receiving that!

Thanks brotha!! My first one is still in great shape as well if you're interested in it. ;)

My first thought when you said you might sell your other one was "Oh please don't do that!" since I now have some HMRs from @Alphahorizon coming as well as a Evolution dark legioss on the way from Mandarake (about a week after I told my wife I wasn't expecting to get any new mechs until the DX 1D).

 

But if it *does* go up as a listing. I'll look at it for sure. And then start the process of rationalization.

It's cool, see, 'cause it doesn't sound like Japanese (and to Japanese, there's nothing more lame-sounding than Japanese), so Japanese marketing serves another delicious helping of English word salad. <_<

Yeah different stores received different ML stock from Hasbro.  Dorkside already received Thanos.

@Tking22 also got Superman so it might depend on your mail service.

Will the recent snowfall that happened in the Texas Area slow down the delivery @Mommar

Don't know if any direct flights from New York to New Mexico will have either cancellations or delays in the flight path (if it does cross over into the area). :unknw:

 

It wouldn't in Texas, no.  It wouldn't be flown either.  They usually always go North through Colorado.  But the website still says In Processing.  I haven't received a shipping notification.  It's like they just didn't ship mine.

I actually had to zoom in your pic @dapro... Monsterarts Biollante: Special Colour Edition??

This is going to be good. ;)  Now see the prices still skyrocket ever further when others collectors pass over it initially after the actual unboxing.

Yup, you got that correct. You can read Japanese?
