No group buys from me. I would have to order a few grands worth wholesale for them to sell through me. I am still on the fence about getting one.

Yeah I'm not sure about ordering straight from igear and I haven't seen ONE pre-order for this on any of the online shops, I'm thinking a lot of stores are scared to sell this.

I really think the reason you will not see other shops with this is 1) Fear of loosing stock due to legal infringement, and 2) the wholesale of this item is fairly high, with a high minimum order required.

I agree the whole "partner product" seems like a way to protect themselves by saying "well WE didn't produce this, we're just selling it for ""someone"" else". I want one bad but $95 + s/h for a all plastic figure is pretty high with unknown QC levels, I'll wait for some reviews and make my mind up after.

Final confirmation of what will be included with the 2nd release Faith Leader. shop.igeartoys.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=75The new items will be Orion Pax head, Megatron head, cape for Faith Leader and cape for original Mp01. The trade off is we no longer get the Anime-styled Optimus head. The cape is in reference to this image. I think it's fan art but it has appeared on several Japanese Transformers collection books. Ignore the funny dialogue, hehe I can't find an "unedited" image of it online. Those interested should order fast though as the site only lists 25 pieces of stock remaining. Gold

Oh yeah, I was going to respond with that, but I got looking up their joint insignia so I could link to it and got looking at the other faction symbols and I guess I lost track of what I was doing... I only knew this because I loved the idea of "all are one" finally being played out. That image of Prime and Megatron together is an all time favorite of mine. Emerje

These babies dont come cheap but to be honest, they are nice enough to tempt me to streamline my mp collection and start collecting them. their size are just about right and fit nicely in the cabinet without taking too much space and there are already strong indication the line is expanding. the drawback is it lacks diecast content and is relatively pricey. while i am all for limited/exclusive pieces costing more, hopefully igear could improve their pricing for thier regular pieces and make it more appealing to the masses

I still sort of want one of these. I think the crystal version appeals the most to me.

I'd love to see more pics! I just put a pre-order for the second production run because I'll just kick myself later and I'm for sure getting the Igear coneheads and the Rodimus MP.

recently purchased a pair of limited edition gold and silver PP-01, here are some pics: i decided to keep it sealed in the original box at the moment ;D but i'm pretty sure the smaller box on the right contains the t-shirt that comes with the set. the shop that sold me the set, had a piece on display, unfortunately, it was left sealed in the original clear plastic, but nevertheless, i could see all accessories present as well as a special bio card that was not available with the regular PP-01. Hope that the bio card comes with a unique serial number.
