Well you know China......
It was made in Vietnam, though.
And distributed from? China China has larger ports than Vietnam. Cam Rahn bay despite being military grade is not yet that fully developed to serve as a primary distribution hub.
Edit:
Checked some of my MPs
MP-10,MP-13,MP-22 made in Vietnam
MP-12,MP-20,MP-21,MP-23,MP-24 made in China
So if your info is correct, Tracks is the first Cybertron "car" made in Vietnam.

But, tell me, was it really necessary to show off that Leadfoot???

Nope, I really wouldn't call that humble, it's far too on focus

That's the Masterpiece symbol of quality. I don't think a single one of my Autobot cars is blemish free. My original Takara Tomy Bluestreak is so messed up with excessive glue I can't even transform it.

Fanstoys, DX9, Badcube, Mastermind, even KOs! (but not KFC .... with the kind of competition they are getting now they might finally be forced to improve. At the price they are selling them, they really need better qc.
Hasbro did a survey recently and there was A LOT of questions about 3rd party products...

Elementary my dear SS.
The delay issue is just the distribution. The item itself is already finished. So some retailers may have contacts on the inside of the industry " wink wink " or display samples et al.

Another answer to SS's question meme. Those QC issues you mentioned. If that sample didn't make the cut, it is , well "thrown away" or turned into display samples or giveaways.

HA, I knew it was an inside job. Next thing I'll learn is that Burn was the evil mastermind behind it all the whole time... not the butler.

Wow! He looks better in in-hand images than in the promo pictures!

Just checking, that roof symbol is flippable like Bee's, right? Because it looks pretty dumb, even if it's cartoon-accurate.

Yeah I hope it does. I think the Autobot symbol on his roof is a bit weird looking too.

Now this is a wild guess, but if Hot rod is the same height as or a little taller than tracks, and Shockwave is some heads taller than Roddy, than Shockwave should be roughly the same height as Soundwave.

heard a rumor on my facebook group that mp arcee is up next after shockwave, hotrod! fingers crossed!

He was delayed from shipping at the end of September to early November.

But that's what the engineers had to work with. Track's original G1 design is more than epected to have a hollow back part.

Hot Rod ought to be even bigger than Tracks. Somewhere more around Ironhide's height.SillySpringer wrote:Yeah I could tell even before comparisons that Tracks was a bit taller than the other car bots. I hope Hot Rod is about the same height. Tracks seems to be about the size of a large voyager.

Ok sorry, I copied the url, since I can't see some images on Seibertron.com, and pasted it in Google, and came up with this image:
Supposedly that's a shot from Transformers Armada, so I assumed that was the real image... I'm so confused.
Don't worry I got the real image:
I may have copied the wrong image or something...

YES! I remember. Gosh I'm stupid.
Anyways... THAT IS ONE SEXY COLLECTOR CARD! I love the art. I am an artist myself, so I am very interested.
Tracks looks amazing.
Everything is awesome.
