BigBadToyStore.com- Alternity Megatron, available in the silver, and blue varieties of the Nissan Fairlady Z are also available for pre-order from site sponsor, BigBadToyStore.com

You can pre-order Megatron blue, or Megatron silver. There are not pictures available yet, but much like Masterpiece Grimlock, these are due out in March, so we can probably expect some images soon.

I think for the US, it's the 350Z that is being used. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Not sure how I feel about Megs being a car, but I'm sure I'll pick up this lil piece still. Already have Ops on pre-order, why not Megs.

Not sure how I feel about alternity yet.I am currently collecting so many other things I am not sure I want to get into another Trans line at the moment.1/32 scale for these just seems to small for the price.Oh well I pre-ordered them (prime-red,megs-silver)anyway I have till Nov to make up my mind.

I'm with you, except I'm not pre-ordering. If Takara releases a Jazz-version, however, then I'll make an exception.

How big are they? The scale confuses me.

Roughly deluxe size... How much are these going to sell for in Japan? 50 does seem pretty spendy, die cast or not.

Wow, a 50$ deluxe? Well, I guess if I saw it at a con I might splurge, but with my dollar value being loooooooooooooow right now, I'm not in much of a position to buy things in a price range to size ratio like that...

Shame, too, because I would so buy Silver Convoy if I had that kind of cash.

You are correct.

this is the likely assumption at the time. However, the 280zx, 300zx, and 350z have all been dubbed as "fairlady"...not to mention many other models of datsun's in the 1950's +. At this point in the line it could likely be any of them(although the 350 is the most likely.)

yes i'm a fairlady fanatic so this is great news for me.

this would be an expensive line for a very small figure. It is at a 1:32 scale. The Alt/BT were at 1:24 scale. So, these would be no bigger than deluxe-sized figures, which is correct. In terms of the model of the car, it is the 350Z, however, I wish that there images of this figure so that I can decide to keep my pre-order or cancel it.

If Megs is a 260Z... Bricks will be shat - by me :shock:
