If the MPs keep coming, I may not need CHUG at all.
Star Saber
You're welcome Agreed, really looking forward to seeing what Takara and Hasbro have up their sleeves. I really hope the announcements do not disappoint (and by that hopefully a real honest to goodness Encore, Classics LC or MP update to G1 Star Saber, and not that frikkin Minicon team)

Thank you, I had no clue. This should be extremely exciting. And then a couple of weeks after we have Botcon Hasbro reveals and then a month later 3P reveals at TFCon. Summer is the most wonderful tiiiiime of the year.
Star Saber
Most likely Saturday – that's when Takara's TF panel will be held.

So happy I preordered these all together.
So we saw the glorious Dutsan trio…..when do we hear what MP 20 is? I'm ready fro a large sized figure.

Have a couple of domestic preorders for back up
My swipe's paint had a very minor inconsistency on the driver door, that was it – so I guess I was lucky.
I hope for those who ordered Tigertrack, they will be perfect.

Hopefully someone gets a review out soon, I'm really liking Prowl.
Stepper
Yah man,hopefully will not be like Sideswipe,having QC problem for the paintjob.

QFT. The worry that these might be in short supply is the only thing making me more anxious than giddy that these are coming. I hope the rumors that the release dates were pushed back to up the production numbers are true. And, I hope the vendors, both domestic and overseas, have learned their lesson about overselling preorders (can't a guy dream?). Can't ever hurt to have orders from more than one vendor with liberal cancellation policies, just to be covered.
brr-icy
can't wait
Bnz Toy
HLJ, don't let me down – you better stock what you presold!
Takara, you better paint these 3 molds better than Sideswipe!
These new MPs are beautiful, I would be happy to own any of them but I'll stick to Prowl.
Stepper
Nice packaging.

That's the question I need to get answered. Prowl is coming very close to being the MP that drags me into MP collecting, but man the import price is a tough one to put in the budget.

So… many… stars!! They should have sent… a poet.
Acid Storm
Yeah looks like it. Or a quick slip over cover just for the sake of the Toy Show.

Let's also keep in mind brand recognition. Why would Nissan want Datsun on there at all at this point. That is a long dead company.
Not to mention, there were never any logos on the original G1 toy or animation model. So who cares if it is Datsun or Nissan. Sure it was Datsun in the states, but not in Japan. So Datsun makes very little sense from a geographic and business purpose.
Dormamu
Agreed. However, can I ask a dumb question? Why on the top of the box does it say 'Lambor' very clearly in the lettering? Hastily 'shopped and glued on front box graphic?

The Nissan S30 (sold in Japan as the Nissan Fairlady Z and in other markets as the Datsun 240Z, then later as the 260Z and 280Z) was the first generation of Z GT two-seat coupe, and later (beginning in the 1974 model year) also 2+2 hatchbacks produced by Nissan Motors, Ltd. of Japan from 1970 to 1978. It was designed by a team led by Mr. Yoshihiko Matsuo, the head of Nissan's Sports Car Styling Studio. HLS30 was the designation of the left-hand drive model and HS30 for the right-hand drive model.
so yes they are a japanese car maker but it was marketed as a datsun outside japan..the diaclone line had some cars based off of japanese models therefore bluestreak,prowl and smokes here are nissans.
