Masterpiece G2 Bumblebee (TRU AU import)

[GoktimusPrime]

I am now authorised to reveal that we will be getting MP G2 Bumblebee at TRU here. Hopefully he'll be around the $100 mark, same as previous imported MP cars.

I'll upload some more details about the adaptation/translation work that I did when I get home tonight.

bumblebee normal mp is going for 99.99 at tru, I expect g2 to be the same. I also expect it to shelf warm and go on discount!

Here's a summary of the work I did for this toy:
* Translated header. Replaced the last line of text with motto in Latin. Original text reads "Transformers Masterpiece Cybertron Espionage Bumble G-2 Ver." -- which is already repeated in the header in English and thus I felt was redundant to repeat it in translation.
* Translated vehicle mode bio.
* Adapted robot mode bio, based on Anglophone canon.
* Translated blurb about Bumblebee's weapon and equipment (laser gun & jetpack)
* Finally corrected the spelling of "laser" (which TakaraTOMY misspelt as "lazer," and which Hasbro AP's translation of G1 MP Bumblebee's instructions failed to correct).
* Translated instructions

Why do I feel like this had already been confirmed beforehand?

Why preorder it at $46 through an online store like HLJ when i can pay more than double that at TrU? All of this money in my wallet was giving me a sore back.

i wouldn't be surprised if it was $129.99 like Bluestreak

If you need a hand I can look after some of that money for you

Just to clarify, I have no control over the price of this toy. When I said that I hoped that this toy would sell for $100, I meant in relation to the AU TRU RRP for previous MP Cars. It might've been better to say that I hope they don't charge over $100. Obviously it'd be better if it were cheaper. Still beats what they're charging for Bluestreak though.

It great that we get an English translation and a OTCA member gets too contribute to a TF product ,but I personally do wish you don't push your own agenda in trying to put Latin into Transformers products.

That is just me humble opinion and I think Hasbro was trying to be accommodating to you for your services. But keep up the good work!
