I already pre-ordered before this came out. Still happier with the price I pre-ordered at.

Deter. 100% deter. I've got to put my foot down at some price point, and I think 300 bucks is about it.

It can be preordered for less if you look around.

Anime Export has him at $237 USD. You’re going to pay shipping through the wazoo but they also have a reissue MP Primal for $81 so combine shipping and pick them both up for about 300. I’m just bummed I didn’t also pick up dinobot for $180

I'll stay satisfied with my TFsource pre-order. EE actually has tax added, and in this case, that's an extra $23, which offsets the $10 cheaper price

So I am cancelling my TFsource Pre-order in favor of trying out Amazon Japan for the first time ever. When I confirmed my pre-order just now, they showed a cost of 23,969 yen plus 1200 yen for shipping, for a total of 25,169 yen, or around $224 USD, over $100 cheaper.

Now I don't know if that shipping will stick, considering it is incredibly cheap, though Seibertron also ordered from there and had equally free shipping, strange as that price is. but even so, even with an extra $50 for shipping or so, that is still over $50 cheaper than the major TFsource/BBTS prices, so no matter what I think it'll be worth it.

slightly worried about their policy with apartments, seeing as how they don't like PO numbers, but hopefully it'll work out, lots of other places say that and my apartment is still good.

Here's the link if anyone wants to take a peek. My price came down around 2000 yen upon placing the order.

See guys and gals? It ain't all that bad with the pricing. Just a small piece of your kidney et al.

As for (I still can't move on), the "rubber ducky", could it be another "Amazon" or Asia "exclusive"?

His rubber ducky debuted in season 2, when he had his Transmetal body.

Has that been confirmed not to be included? Even as a bonus?

Afraid not. Though the tooth brush makes the perfect stand-in. Did his Dragon form have any quirky accessories?

I looked into it and for me AMazon Japan wont work. Shipping is way cheaper but I will still be taxed 15% and then some which makes him come out to more expensive than Nippon Yassan, which I will choose. Now I am debating using the slow boat option or not since that is 20$ cheaper, but you have to wait 3 months :???:

Those who ordered MP BW Megatron on Amazon Japan have received an email saying that their orders have been delayed. We can deduce that the toy's release will now be end of March since the e-mail sent shows a new delivery date for beginning April. The e-mail is below, it is a mixture of English and Japanese. A similar e-mail was also sent for PP 43 Throne of the Primes which will now be received by those who ordered it between 2019-01-29 - 2019-02-01.

"Transformers Masterpiece MP-43 Megatron (Beast Wars)"
Estimated delivery date: 2019-04-02 - 2019-04-05

"Transformers Masterpiece MP-43 Megatron (Beast Wars)"

Dear Customer: We have learned that there has already been delayed some of the item (s) in your order indicated above.
When your order is shipped you will receive an e-mail message confirming the date, contents and method of shipment.

Kinda sucks about the delay, but I guess it gives fans extra time to get more funds for other wanted figures( like MP-44 Prime). You're welcome for the tipoff btw

He looks stunning. He should be the only Predacon with the multi-panel Beast Mode. Now it is bugs and Terrorsaur, so I might even consider leaving some of them in Beast Mode on display. :-?

Also, he should be shipping out in another month here, he's still a ways out.

A little while ago, Masterpiece Beast Wars Megatron was just a passing mention in a Takara interview and now in just a few short days, he will be released. His official release date is March 30th, that is when it will be available at Japanese retailers. Westerners who ordered him from Amazon Japan will be getting him by April 5th. With Beast Wars Megatron just about to come out, Robot Kingdom posted images of his box which we included below along with an image of his inner plastic tray which surfaced a little while ago. He will be packaged in Beast Mode. Do you all have him for preorder?

I assume the stand is in/under the part of the tray that is not in the picture. The product shots on the bottom right side (back of the box) do indicate that a stand would be included (although I suppose it could be the stand packaged with Dinobot - however only having a single, shared, stand would be kind of stupid/useless when trying to set them both up in a battle scene).

From what I can see he looks totally bad-a$$. Can't wait till he arrives!!!

I don’t think he does come with a stand. We’ve seen pics of all included parts, and the stand is always missing from those even though he’s seen using one.

I dunno for sure though, but we’ll be finding out soon!!! *rubs hands together greedily*

No and im pretty sure he doesnt come with a stand. Just additional clear plastic pieces to add to Dinobot's stand.
