If for some reason you still don't have one, Siege Jetfire is getting a reissue.  So is the Shattered Glass Optimus & Ratchet pack.  Pulse is sold out of both already, but both can still be ordered at BBTS or Entertainment Earth.

Supposedly MP-60/MPG-09 will go up for preorder at US stores tomorrow.  I'll be curious to see if Pulse's official price comes out to be less than the $300 TFSource is already asking.

not joking Missing Link C01, C02 and MP 44S reignite my love for Transformers once again , now Im looking daily for Transformers  news, new releases, G1, Studio Series, etc. In the meantime a few moments ago I POd Cybertron Siege Commander JETFIRE from BBTS , saw some videos of the past release of JETFIRE and it looks amazing.  

 lol 😄 how much purple do you need on that thing?, it looks too exaggerated and I know they wanted to make stand out cause is 50th Anniversary but it just makes it look bad or unappealing well at least for me, Im even more happy now I have POd the CCSTOYS one. 

from FB SUPREME MECHA

this one is interesting , Transforming Statue of Optimus Prime , since is Kara Kuri I think it will be expensive but don't know the scale so I don't know  

If the price is right will try to get one

How come I didn't know about this one:

Set price to display in yen at bottom of the page, but also make sure your payment method is in yen. Converts to about $218.18, shipping remaining which is typically close to $50.

 

For those interested in US options, another potential dealer is here:

Not sure why most of these are not carried by the regular Japan online stores. Also, the way how the shipping fee costs from Japan keeps on going up, I don't know how this one will cost seeing that some big figures shipped at Y9000+ or more.

But if you're interested ordering stateside, the cheapest one I found is from KappaHobby at US$318.88.

Thanks no3Ljm for the link, yeah I literally waiting for the Japan Stores to get it due to it will be less expensive, I even think even shipping wouldn't be that much but still that depends if the exchange rate maintains of course, CA taxes it what stops me from getting more figures from websites like BBTS, amazon.

BBTS Pre-Order: https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/272936?o=8  $360

Somebody knows if this figure will be carried in Japan online stores, like AmiAmi or HLJ?, or maybe there is licensing thing in Japan for this series and CCSTOYS?

Thanks for the high res pics, so excited for this one , after getting my hands on MP-44S it reignited my interest for the Masterpiece Line, love the quality and heft of the 44S, Im really thinking in trying to get both MP-60 and MPG as well, GoD Ginrai in Masterpiece Line is going to be effing awesome!!.

New Transformers "Transformers New Age" line incoming by Tommy Tokara and Husbra .....and this is the real deal!!! 😱

Why are old people so obsessed with toys having metal? lol

I think is not about being old lol, is about trying to get a good quality figure for the amount of cash you are spending, in my opinion we just can't call these simple toys, I mean the size of it and still paying more than 100 smackers for it well then you at least must get some quality in it right?, in plastic,  heft and not a hallow figure, also is not like you are going to your local Walmart and spend 30 plus dlls or less in a Legacy Evolution Series transformers, or how about a MOTU figure for just 14.99. So I don't mean the figure had to have an internal Metal Build series type of thing of course, Bandai should just put the correct amount of diecast in placed were it should be and make the figure feel its worth the price of admission, Bandai knows how to do it no doubt, like DX Chogokin lines, Metal Build, Soul of Chogokin, Metal Robot series, so not sure why can't do the same for the HMR line. 

all the pictures look pretty damn good still I'm pretty disappointed for the H Metal R series due to well hmm.... the lack of  METAL!, the valk that make me kinda loose hope for this series was the HMR VF-0S , when I grabbed for the first time the VF 0S I was like what the heck!?, why it feels so light. Like I said HMR Basara pics look pretty damn good and it seems is made with good materials and not thin paper plastic and as a super fan of the YF-19 design(number 1 valk for me) I think will try to get one of these. 

The PO will be soon if that's the date mention below:

So today finally received my Optimus Primes all the way from Japan, and the first thing I said when I grab the boxes why are these so hefty?, so I opened up C02 and 44S, and OMG!! the quality and the heft  just blew me away!, I thought for 44S was going to be  kinda hollow and light since it doesn't have electronics inside but NO! I was so  wrong and Im just too damn amazed of it, C02 is just as amazing the quality in plastic, the heft and colors are too damn good, in some video review of the missing links Optimus they said is like a Masterpiece quality, and I can literally confirm that, is just too damn good, so happy right now. I guess will leave C01 in its box for now   

the whole package looks beautiful, so glad I got this on Preorder , this and alongside my already fully paid MP-44s waiting to be shipped from HLJ.

I recently paid 13,900 yen to a proxy in order to ship by EMS an Arcadia SDF-1 Premium Finish to USA, it only took 5 days to arrive.

DHL will be more expesive for sure, but not so much..

my bad  I was meant to say 20 000 Y , was early in the morning today preparing for work and haven't drink my coffee yet and mistakenly put an extra Zero there 🤦‍♂️, 

meant 20,000 cause last time I order from Mandarake they charged me 10 000 yen for my DX Angel Bird Valk using DHL to CA, this was from Mandarake Nagoya, definitely not ordering an Arcadia SDF 1 from them,  😅, usually I paid like 5000 to 4000 yen for normal size DX Chogoking valk in AmiAmi and HLJ using DHL .

damn!, maybe finally will try to get an SDF 1, I wonder what the shipping cost of that thing will be?, 200 000 Y using DHL maybe?

I think it's fine.  

But just in case, here's the other MoShow (non-Progenitor Effect) thread:

 

yikes sorry about that, I should it look further definitely will use that thread next time, thanks no3Ljm for the heads up.

Preordered  this MOSHOWToys figure this one so damn fast the moment I saw it today:

https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail/?gcode=FIGURE-166091

I think is not from the Progenitor Effect series but since I got the Wusheng figure this one that appeared today is a no brainer for me to preordered, the insane quality the Progenitor Effect Wucheng is beyond impressive size, details , heft, accessories alongside a great price is just too damn good. 

I post this in this thread since I didn't find any other MOSHOWtoys thread, I hope is ok.

Excellent gift haul.

Thanks , very glad finally got this two , the color Scheme of the Angel Birds alongside is a DX Chogokin  was the main reasons why I wanted so much this Valk, and for the VF 171 EX wanted this one for a very long time but since the old ones I hear a lot the leg breaking issues never dare to try and get one, I just hope this new version doesn't suffer from that  

Received finally my DX Angel Birds Valk  today from Mandarake alongside the DX VF 171EX  

so many valks iterations in the Macross universe, and still Arcadia keeps bringing on the same valks over and over again, seriously they must not like money or they just clueless, I mean take for example Yamato YF-21 , imagine if they release one Arcadia branded, or how about the  11B ?, or better yet  how about releasing VF-1S 1/60 again but this time is not a feather weight valk?, add a bit of something new , diecast maybe?. At this point the Bandai DX 1/48 Valks are top of the line for obvious reasons still will not go into details why is that, it would be alot of text lol, but Im not saying Arcadia should do the same cause obviously Arcadia is a much smaller Company , still that shouldn't be an excuse to not thrive as company, or maybe the company is doing enough income to just fulfill wages and keep the company afloat, who knows, but as a company that has the Macross license I think they are wasting a lot of potential in that License.
