I am in the military so cannot be at the store when it opens on truck day and seemingly every store in the state has people waiting at the door for them to open hoing maybe there was one case of two on the truck. These stores dont even have a place on the shelf for them because none have made it that far yet... If anyone want s to help a military bloke out i would forever be in your debt, i dont want to pay the scalpers on ebay...

The baby blues were a HUGE selling point on me opting on Hasbro's rather than Takara's version.

MP-01 was a pretty good fit with Alternators scale-wise, though still a bit on the too small side. Ugh, I wish Alternators had continued... the only line that knew what the word "scale" meant...

I sold mine off on eBay as soon as this one was announced and shown at Botcon. I personally think it’s leaps and bounds better than MP-01.
