Looks like it was a VERY limited editon. 5 Peices and was sold out before I could even click the link. I love the foam insert packaging and I hope they use it for the PP01 second run but I doubt it. I would have also wanted that Cartoon accurate head, but again, I doubt it will be with the PP01 second run. shop.igeartoys.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=86

I received this letters too. Having an ultramagnus armor close to the G1 design could be so great... Buying a PP01U Ultramagnus really worth it in case of such project. Mini or not, this is what the masterpiece line need. The forthcomming coneheads seekers will upgrade all of this. Igear must be so so busy now and I hope for the mini meg too... but selling weapon repplica toy is complicated for US and European market. I am sure this is why the project is taking a pause (remember the delays because of the orange cap)... Colors menu for the PP01, take your order(s) : I still ordered the PP01 2nd run (pray for the anime head in bundle) and I don't now yet if I pick the Nemesis version... Too much toys for this last 4 months. Dead to our wallets !

I doubt the cartoon head will come with the second production run of PP-01 since the e-mail said it will be included with the Ultra Magnus version, which I'm gonna get for sure.

I am wishing there was a preview of the UM armor. Even some sketches. I would hate to be stuck with a White Prime in case I did not like the direction they went with the armor.

If anybody want's to sell their articulated hands for the Faith Leader, let me know. I'm getting the reissue but it doesn't come with them.

It was confirmed on their Facebook profile that the trailer will transform.

Hehe, if the transforming trailer is perfect, maybe other third party will blow its scale up to match with the official Takara MP Ultra Magnus!

Meg? Megatron? Will replace mines because I hate the tarnishing on the regular. Hopefully, they won't use that type of metal of have a better top coat.

It probably won't have any metal and be all plastic to try and keep costs down, molds for metal parts are very expensive.

I got the shipping notification too.
I want UM if they're doing the trailer but I really want to fiddle with PP-01 before I preorder UM.

Got my Version 2 MP Prime in today. May get some pics up later this week. Looks pretty good.
I did have a few odd QC problems that were not on my Nemisis Prime (version 1). The chest did not want to close good and the legs were really tight and did not want to move at the hips. The leg problem just needed a screw backed out a little and it worked fine. As for the chest, it turned out to be a pin that holds the seat in was not pushed all the way and was keeping the housing around the matrix from going all the way in.
Both were easy enough to fix, but were not problems on my original.
