Takara Tomy Website have updated two more images featuring a Transformers MPG-01 Trainbot Shouki x Tomytec Diorama collaboration.
The images show Masterpiece MPG-01 Shouki in robot and train mode surrounded by some cool Tomytec Geocolle diorama pieces. Tomytec offers a large selection of Japanese outline N Scale products including locomotives, multiple units, buildings, kits and accessories as well as trams and tramways. Takara Tomy really did a fantastic job with these images.

I'm not getting the whole set, but Kaen looks really awesome on his own. Does anyone here have him yet and can you recommend him as a stand-alone figure? I love how chunky he is and the train mode looks incredible (well they all do in this set).

Actually Showz pays taxes in advance, so you shouldn't have problems.
Shipping from Japan is expensive, the box is very big and customs could be inevitable

Maybe I'm low-balling what AE would have charged me for shipping? I'd pay no tax and choose the slow shipping, so I think it could have come in about the same as ShowZ, but maybe would have been more – it's a biiiig box! Hopefully this sails under the customs radar from ShowZ despite the large box, just like Skyfire did.

It was $140 for me to ship 3x MPG-06S. But I do live close to Hong Kong. LiamPope also lives on this side of the planet so I was shocked his costs were so high.

Might switch my bbts pre order to pulse if they get a restock, seems like the box set is sold out at most places?
Onilink
? Robot kingdom wants 150 bucks only for shipping costs. That thing is the same Skyfire size ballpark.
HolyCulture
Jesus! Since when does robot kingdom of all stores beat another place’s shipping by more than half! Sorry bud. That price is a kick in the gibblies for sure

I forgot to post this pictures back when I took them in January of this year. Any who, since I lasted posted in this thread I got Seizan and he’s wonderful. Of the 3 I have, my ranking goes: Getsuei, Seizan, and Shouki.
Onilink
I don't think you would have gotten away with 30 bucks with shipping and tax with anime, tbf
Liampope
Anyone who preordered the box set from ShowZ heard anything?
Edit: Doh! Idiot – they sent me a message on the store a week ago. Was expecting email. Oof 204 USD total shipped. I may as well have just gotten it from AE in the end – about the same price even with AE's 0% discount, what's up with that?
I should feel more excited about dropping 200 USD to comlplete the first official MP combiner! :/

Think it's just the size of the boxes and shipping options, probably won't be that much longer if Pulse is getting throes soon.

It’s unusual for Chosen Prime to be one of the last to get stock but I’ll have to deal

Raiden getting mauled by a pack of Sixshots lives rent free in my mind.

More than a Skids, but not by much. Like most every new, non-Headmaster character in the series, they appear frequently enough but never all that prominently. Mostly in the background, almost never speak (or at all), and in like all but I think one episode maybe have no real baring on the plot.

Pulse looks like they're going to have the Kaen boxset version next week so I'm hopeful to have the combined set in hand by the end of the month!
BronzeLeagueHero
Well, that does work out for me. Though if it wasn't for the fact that kaen and the full raiden combiner is already being reviewed and bought in japan/asia I'd probably still be concerned.
ckhtiger
I would. Pre-order using the payment on arrival versus paying up front. Eliminates the #1 complaint or reason I hear from people as to why they don't pre-order, and then you don't miss out and you can cancel with no hassle.

Love how Shouki just comes in and kicks Sixshot away as if it were an Insecticon.
svek
More of the second part, definitely. But they weren't literally whos either.
