Transformers MDLX Sideswipe
threezero is proud to announce the release of MDLX Sideswipe, a redesigned version of the brash young Autobot warrior!
MDLX is a series of articulated figures capturing the spirit of threezero’s renown DLX series at a smaller scale with a similar high-range of articulation and enhanced durability, all at a groundbreaking affordable price.
The Transformers MDLX line of figures are based on the original 1980s The Transformers cartoon and toy line, as redesigned by threezero Art Director Kelvin Sau. The iconic designs have been remixed to incorporate threezero’s hyper-detailed mechanical aesthetic, offering a familiar and exciting new presentation. Transformers MDLX figures feature threezero’s unique die-cast zinc alloy and engineer-grade plastic frame system, which enhances the tactile playability and durability of the figure. Each figure is finished off with the detailed craftsmanship and weathered paint application that threezero is known for, bringing the beloved The Transformers characters to a new format for all to enjoy.
MDLX Sideswipe is approximately 6” (15 cm) tall, with approximately 40 points of articulation and a die-cast metal frame. Accessories include one Shoulder Cannon, one Laser Blaster, and five sets of interchangeable hands including piston parts.

Maybe I'm just lucky then because I usually get my orders in less than 2 weeks.

Oh, they get them released at the same time, but I was referring to 3 weeks of ship time vs a few days from the US stores. I paid $79 each for Megatron and Rodimus from TCP, got free shipping from buying a few other things hitting the $150 point, and had them in a day since they are local for me. I remember seeing 90 something on ShowZ

The only figure I've seen them get later than other retailers is DLX TLK Optimus.
I ordered MDLX Prime, Bee and Megatron from ShowZ and they were released at the estimated release dates, just as TZ, and at the time were the actual retail price.

If this happens we can cancel our orders from Show.Z to save some money. The fact it hasn’t been listed yet by any US seller make me think maybe it’s going to be an exclusive somewhere. That’s speculation based on almost nothing, but I think it’s a possibility. And for some reason I’m thinking it might be Sideshow. 95% I’m wrong, but I’m sticking to it.

Word!!!

For US customers, buying at any of the North American stores will have ThreeZero product cheaper. You'll pay more and wait longer through ShowZ and others, and its around a $20 difference, give or take. Of course you'll have to hit the $150 mark to get free shipping and some charge tax, but these can easily be avoided at certain stores like TCP and Toy Dojo.

I did a quick scan of BBTs, TFSource and the big three Chinese retailers I use, and only Show.Z seems to have put it up for sale at this point. So I’d keep an eye on your favorite retailers.
It’s always possible it might show up as a North America exclusive to BBTS or Sideshow too

Yeah, don't sweat it. No movie filth is infecting the MDLX line.
Grimlock212
Yes, I ordered mine last week from Show.Z, but they are currently sold out.

Has the G2 Megatron gone up for pre-order yet?

Thanks goodness….

Almost got excited there for a minute for a G1 Mirage

You've invalided your own opinion.

MDLX Mirage Preview from threezero Transformers Rise Of The Beasts
Looks like 3zero is doing an MDLX Mirage. No offense to anyone, but that is DUUUUUMB!!!
G1 or go home……..
EDIT: Article says MDLX but it is the larger scale DLX.
Rob
He is 100% consistent, I just wish he had a smirk.
Afterburner
Now here's some nice style. Skywarp's blasters would be better in purple though. Companies struggle to ever get all of his unique details in line.

Jazz looks good, I'm looking forward to see a painted prototype.
DeathsTreads77
That jazz is looking real nice. I may get it
Grimlock212
Thanks for the pics, it makes me more comfortable with the design.

Even though I recently got OP, I do hope he gets a re-do. The main thing that bothers me is the head and the latest releases do have better designed heads.

you know, they could have throw in a new Head for him with future release and we would all be happy
