Takara-Tomy have updated their Transformers website with a page for the next Masterpiece series release, Generation 2 Sideswipe / Lambor G-2 Version. There’s five images on the page which showcase the toy and its features, including the new guns and sword weapon, as well as the optional stickers – Lambor comes with the option of either Generation 1 or Generation 2 style logos, plus optional bright green G2 inspired “SS” details on the doors, “Side Swipe” spoiler stickers and roof sticker. There are also some side-by-side pictures with the initial Masterpiece Sideswipe / Lambor on the page.

The head is painted on Takara's and some pretty thick paint. I have no issues closing the skull cap on mine though.

Forgive me for dredging up an old thread, and/or possibly being the wrong one too (tried searching)
Is the head on the TT version painted as badly as the KO? There is some seriously thick red paint on mine. It hinders the skull cap from closing and softens a lot of the molded detail. I'm actually curious why there is paint at all as it seems the painted pieces were molded in red anyhow?

I got a case direct from wholesale and all of them were double taped. For reference, a case has 6 toys.

Well the problem is resolved although the original question is not. But I don't dare to point that out to them lol. The question and answer that was going on back and fro was awkward at best.

Yikes, those people sound like scammers

Well there you go lol

Lol,
I have been very happy with their prices, shipping charges and packing (and not having to pay custom charges) but yesterday I sent an innocent question and suddenly I'm blocked and my question is ignored.
I don't think they understand english at all or know how to find google translate.

I am definitely loving the 'war grimace' & the spiked tyres of G2 Sideswipe,they sure does wonder to the figure.

My experiences have been pleasant. I've picked up multiple Tamashii exclusives from them – they DO take a few days to get newly in-stock orders out the door and their shipping costs are a bit more expensive than others, but all my stuff has been packaged well and arrived with no issues whatsoever.
That said, I've never had any need to return anything to them, so I have no idea how they are compared to, say, HLJ (quite amiable, as I've heard), RK, (also willing, but a company that can take a while to respond to you) or AmiAmi (won't deal with returns from non-Japanese customers at all, I believe).

I think it just varies from where you live, for me it cost more than say AE or HLJ

AE and HLJ usually list more when MPs get released. Might as well wait until Thursday night/Friday morning.

^^They suck. Takes forever to ship products that you paid for and will cancel your acct if you complain about it.

Nippon-Yason has the cheapest delivered price I can find.
Can people tell me about their experiences?

Ive ordered all of them from Robot Kingdom. Get to me super quick compared to everywhere else and Im in the middle of the US,shipping cost me around $20. I will say the only thing that bugs me is if I have a problem with a figure. Takes longer to get everything all worked out. RK either gives 5-10% refund or you ship it back for full refund(minus return shipping cost)or an exchange if there is stock left.

Yep, my fav of the Lambo's.
