My target has gotten all the mom figures, and sold almost all of them before other stores started clearancing them. I've passed on all of them though. This one however, I'm super tempted to get

I bought MPM Blackout on Amazon Japan. It will be a long wait. My deposit was 2000 more than you Kanrabat, but there is a chance that they pay me back a portion.

Now that I’ve had Blackout for a little bit, here’s my thoughts on him!
Overall, this figure is spectacular!
Bot mode is very well articulated, even including a waist swivel (which I think is a first for Blackout figures), and gets Blackout’s proportions down great, especially with the chest. The lower set of windows actually fold away during transformation, which is awesome! I also found that, hidden under the outer panels on the arm, there’s folded up Gatling guns molded into the arms, which you can see in the movie when Blackout reaches for the Military servers to hack them!
Alt mode is enormous and tabs in super securely, it feels so much nicer than the SS one. The clean underside is also really impressive, and the hatch even opens! Definitely a contender for my favorite alt mode on a Transformer.
Blackout is also loaded with accessories - two Gatling guns that can store in alt mode, on his arms, or on his legs, two huge blast effects that plug into the Gatling guns or the chest gun, his rotor weapon (which actually is a part of the whole rotor in alt mode, an awesome part of transformation and the first time a Blackout figure has had an accurate rotor weapon!), and Scorponok! Scorponok has a metal core body and is very well articulated, he’s not quite in scale for MPMs but I think he scales fairly alright with Studio Series.
Even the paint work on Blackout is pretty impressive - there’s a lot of silver drybrushing on the dark gunmetal parts throughout the figure, with some silver and gold accents. They even picked out the small yellow bits above his eyebrows! This detail carries over to alt mode too, where they picked out all the small text and warnings, even the pilots’ names!
The only issue with Blackout that I have (and it seems that this isn’t an issue for most people), is that the swivel joints to move the arms inward and outward are just loose enough that they often don’t support the weight of the arms, especially when they’re holding some of the weapons. Like I said though, I haven’t seen anyone else have that with theirs, and it’s a pretty easily fixed issue.
Besides that one issue though, I have no complaints about Blackout! I think I might be using him in bot mode as SS Grindor from time to time too xD

I got Blackout, and he is an impressive piece. He has some serious weight to him, and some great joints. I appreciate how much effort went into getting the arms to pose as well as they do, and the transformation is very smart. They did really good with him. As far as I'm concerned, con wise, they have not missed yet.
Now, bring on my favorite: Bonecrusher

Only 3 more cons to go to complete the TF07 cast now in this range (or did they do barricade already?)

Barricade was first, they only need to do Bonecrusher, Brawl, and Frenzy.
I hope they do Bonecrusher, he is my absolute favorite

I've never been too proud to admit when I am wrong, and I seemingly have been about MPM Blackout. I'm not sure what it has, that MPM Starscream and Ratchet didn't have 2 years ago. But while those went on clearance relatively quickly at Target, Blackout has been selling relatively well from what I've seen. Its not in my wheelhouse of collecting, but if fans are happy with it, enough to pay full price and keep them restocking at retail, I am happy for anyone who has this and is enjoying it.

Starscream and Ratchet were victims of Target's screwed up computer system. They were both clearanced the week after release with no real chance to sell due to the computers thinking they had been out longer.
Add to that the fact that Blackout is probably the most iconic Decepticon in the films thanks to the opening of the 2007 movie, and you have a good case for why he is doing better/not suffering thanks to Target

The way preorders work on Amazon.jp is that passed a certain time window, the preorder cannot be cancelled. I changed my mind for Blackout and Trailbreaker because I don't have 500$CAN to spend for the both of them. Well, looks like the problem will fix itself because both payments have been declined because my card is full. They say that if I don't update my payment info, both preorders will be cancelled after 6 days. So are these days business days, of full days? And once those orders get Tanos'd after 6 days, it's over and I don't have to mind them anymore, right?

Of course I caved in anyway and I bought it from Mandarake.
The irony is that some weeks later, here it is, on preorder at Walmart.ca for 200$CAN instead of the 300$CAN TrU ask.
I could have saved around 10$ total, considering taxes and shipping.
Eh.
