    There is a Transformer comic signing event on the 27th of this month. I'd hold onto your cash for that. You never know, they might discount their TF stock in it's honour. Well, here's hoping :)

    Just over a week now for Sideswipe to be shipped. Cant wait. Then the run into Christmas with Soundwave and Red Alert.

    Thundercracker is awaiting shipping so that's great.

    But I've heard bad news about toysrus cancelling all their MP Optimus Prime pre-orders. I hope this doesn't turn out to be true. :(

    Heard a second hand story that TRU.com (not UK) now ship internationally, and that is should work okay so long as you pay with a credit card and not Paypal.

    Still can't make my mind up on Sideswipe. ... a fair few 3rd party items are a lot more tempting right now.


    TRU *UK* are flip-flopping on when they'll have Masterpiece Optimus on the shelf.... looks like some significant supply issues.

    Well, I'll post some images of him when I get him. You know you want it. :)


    If TRU are shipping Int I'll re-order and maybe keep an eye on the UK branch too. I'll order from all off them and see which comes first. If it's like my MP-01 I'll end up with three :)

    A vague listing has apparently popped up in TRU US compuaters marked "Masterpiece 3" with a price point of $90.

    Some are wondering if it's Starscream with the cape and crown...

    Others thing it's maybe Soundwave with the few extra dollars explained by tapes... it holds three tapes at once (?) and Laserbreak, (blue) Rumble and Ravage had by far the most screen time.

    Mp1 and Mp1L. I can't discount the joys of a big heavy diecast robot that screams at you in Japanese


    Gold? all i can think of is lucky draw.

    At 90 dollars, I don't think it could be Soundwave seen as he's going for 150 dollars with one tape.

    Nah, not gold or lucky draw. I just keep telling my OH it is so I get to keep all my doubles :)

    Takara's pricing is a lot more ambitious than Hasbro's.

    This isn't me on a 'can i get it cheaper' thing, i'm probably coughing up for Mp13 on release.

    My problem is that if it's true, I know I'll end up buying both. Just love the Takara boxes. Silly I know but I just find the hasbro ones easier to open as the boxes make them look like toys. The takara boxes make them magical or something :P

    I'm indifferent to Hasbro packaging, and i think i even slightly dislike Takara packaging..... like they don't wear well from repeated openings and closings.

    Then buy two so you don't have to keep opening them :)

    My days of buying two and three are gone out the window. Especially this year with the release of 7 Masterpieces I've bought/pre-ordered. That and Encore Fort Max, a Kabaya Fort Max and a God Ginrai to name just a few.

    QC is so potentially spotty on Masterpieces, that in several cases, I have.

    Yeah, I've heard horror stories. I think I got lucky for most of them. Even my Rodimus Prime was ok.

    Crazy paying the amount of cash for a masterpiece and the OC is rubbish.

    It's like Masterpiece Rodimus was jinxed...because it's Rodimus.

    Never liked Rodimus either in toy, comic or cartoon. The whole upgrade when he possesses of the matrix was a joke. Take it away from him and he's Hot Rod again, peh...

    Hot Rod/Rodimus is my favourite character because he was a flawed leader.

    He did what Starscream couldn't (if you don't count his brief stint). Get his leader killed and take his place. And he was supposed to be one of the good guys :P

    Wanted to buy a MP7 as all my other seekers are Takara version. This is the new mold too which now I need the other seekers to be the new mold too. So much more I'd rather spend my cash on that buying the same Masterpiece over and over. Now I wait for MP 10 TRU. Heard that they are still honouring their pre-orders...when they get the supply that is. :(
