You won't be disappointed with the iGear Seekers. My SS and TC came in over the weekend. Very solid save for a missing set of missiles for TC. But you never use them anyway.
BBTS has my MP-11 in my PoL. I debate shipping and hope the Perfect Effect bikes come in soon. I am excited to see RobotKingdom.com listing MP-11S for a hundred bucks cheaper than BBTS. I know it's just another repaint, but I'm a sucker for the Seekers. |

MP-11 should arrive at my doorstep any minute now. Hopefully my gf is awake and paying attention so she can go answer the door. I gave her the heads up. Otherwise, I have to pick it up tomorrow after work. Looking forward to comparing it to some of my Macross valks. Though I am probably a bit spoiled lately on that front... I just can't see MP-11 matching up to the latest VF-25 renewals. Not a big deal, since it'll stay in robot mode with all his gear on.
I am really enjoying the new MP direction. MP-10 is my all time favorite TF. TRU Rodimus is okay, and I regret selling my TRU Grimlock. especially now if I want to replace it, I'm paying over $120 on ebay. I'll probably just buy the Takara version from Robotkingdom if I'm getting up to that price point. Not terribly excited for MP-12, but if they do things closer to scale, it would be cool so long as the price reflects it. What should we expect? like Voyager size? |

MP-11.
The MP newbies: Just a quick comparison to Bandai's Macross Frontier VF-25S Ozma Lee custom. Similar size and price points. |

Didn't do much reading, but I liked the pictures, Shin. Wonder if Hasbro will carry over the new design and release an MP-Thundercracker through TRU. |

This would be awesome. I'd like a Thundercracker at the TRU price, similar to Rodimus and Grimlock...

That's the wishful speculation both in scale and price. Though there's been rumor of Lambor standing around MP-Hot Rod height too. Hopefully Takara will give us better info soon.

^ He was a BIG letdown for me. I bought the first Takara release version and still haven't been able to get him completely transformed into car mode where all the tires touch the ground.

Yeah, I heard that Takara version was quite the let down. I got the TRU version for 30% off. At that price, he was just fine. If I had paid full retail I'd be pissed.

Not sure where the let down in MP Rodimus is. Again, the shoulder articulation sucks, but the design is very well done to carry over four modes. I mean, compared to the Classics version there's no contest.
So, I opted to buy the Black iGear trailer for MP-01B through BBTS' sale. Been debating it for a while, guess this twisted my arm. Maybe you BotCon attendees can pass along that little nugget of hope to the reps from Hasbro about an MP-TC. |
