The Takara-Tomy Mall has updated with news on the availability of the Tokyo Toy Show Masterpiece Tiger Track. Unlike past Tokyo Toy Show exclusives from Takara-Tomy, this one won’t necessarily be available at the Tokyo Toy Show, and instead will be preordered there, with the possibility of a lottery drawing if more people want to purchase Tiger Track than available toys allows. Here are the full details, with translation provided to us by Griffin-of-oz:
Due to limited quantities, it will be a reservation lottery.
Obtain reservation/entry on the 17th (Monday) and 18th June (Tuesday), from 10am each day.
Limit one reservation per person.
If there are less reservations placed than toys, everyone gets one. If there are more reservations than toys, it comes down to a random lottery.
Winners will then be contacted by the email they provided on the reservation. Toys will then be shipped out late June. Price 6,000 yen (about $64) – Cash on delivery only.
It is worth noting that a portion of Tiger Track may be held back from this drawing, given the numbers already being offered through online retailers and the fact that in-hand pictures are circulating.
On a related note, the linked page also has a few lines by way of a bio for Masterpiece Tiger Track:

The price for the MP-12T seems to fluxuate on eBay. But, because of the limited run, the price may eventually jump up.
As for Sideswipe, I have good news, a seller has three available at the price of just $110 Buy It Now which includes free shipping! Wish I had seen this, as I just bought one for $120.

Since Sideswipe has been given a second release, who knows when the price will stay this low?

BBTS must've gotten in a few more because half of my order was filled either Monday or Tuesday of this week, I can't remember.
Anyway, reading the now closed thread on MP-13 did jog my memory that my last order through Robotkingdom.com came in an MP-12T shipper also decked out in Hasbro's usual print. It also says, "T/F MP-12T TIGER TRUCK" on the box. Apparently it held six of them.

Just checked and I got one too at 1:07am, but I just found it in my spam folder! DOH!

Got my shipping notification email with tracking number from them at 2:07 am this morning.

Did chimungmung provide a tracking # or a shipping notification email? All I have received is a order processing email right after I placed the order.

Don't think we had the choice for shipping. It was $15 shipping and I believe it was Air Mail so it looks like we'll be waiting 2 weeks for it to arrive.

Depends on how much you pay for shipping.
EMS = express mail 3-4 days.
SAL = Air mail up to 2 weeks.

For those that ordered from chimungmung, how long did it take to get to the US?

For those that are still looking for some I see ToyArena still has some, but dang has the price gone up, it's now $119.99. Lucky I jumped on the preorder days (literally) before the release, got him for $100. that's with shipping.

Well I don't particularly have a strict guideline that I follow for buying transformers. I usually just buy what I like but recently I've been more picky as I am running out of room. I think I might just start to collect the Masterpiece line, or at least whatever I find affordable. Tigertrack would've been icing on the cake since I already own Sideswipe and Red Alert. I was attracted to his yellow paint job since yellow is my favourite colour but I'm not going to devastated that I won't own him.

Just remind yourself that, while pretty, it's a masterpiece version of a character that didn't actually appear in the cartoon, and whether you want to invest in that or not.

There is exactly 1 at Anime Export. Its $130.95.

Ah, it seems I am a hair late, Chimungmung is now sold out of Tigertrack. Oh wells.

And I should add…this is coming from someone that RARELY gushes over a box, or packaging in general.

^ Agreed.
Just because of the super amazing box I am yet to open the thing. The temptation is too high, but for now I am resisting.
gawddammit
Do it. Seriously, do it now before the price skyrockets. I have this guy, and the box alone is amazing. Glossy black with silverish line art. It's a thing of beauty.

I'm torn on whether or not I should spend another $100 on the lambo mold. And this thread is not helping me decide against it. Lol. Been trying to cut back spending but I may need to make an exception…
