I tried combining the re release Starscream with Megs and the shipping was crazy, although I forgot if getting Starscream by himself it was even crazy expensive on the shipping. Although now it looks like he's sold out...ugh. Forgot to get it on AE as well.
That's odd. MP-35 Grapple can still be shipped to the US but Artfire can't. Oh well If I decide I want Artfire I'll just get it off ebay.
This really does look fantastic. Better than the other 2 main characters in the show IMO. That targetmaster is just great. Preordered.
He needs the detail of the sculpted of the g1 toy instead of the standart mp inferno, still looks good IMO, the tickers make him look cheaper than other options of 3rdP's, but at least, we have the posibility of a jazz masterpiece, because the original artfire came with stepper (a jazz's repainted) and both were targetmasters.
Preordered Artfire from HLJ. I prefer toy-accurate G1 MP's and Artfire fits that bill nicely. I'll probably never get an authentic G1 Artfire, so the MP will be just fine with me. The MP targetmaster is just the icing on the cake. Highly likely we'll see MP Stepper after MP Jazz is finally announced. I'm totally down for MP's of Japanese G1 toys that were never released in the USA.
Do I want this guy? Somebody please tell me whether or not I want it. I allowed myself to expand to Diaclone repaint MP's, so I have no idea where this guy would fit in my collection. It does look nice though...
Hummm... If I can get this guy for under $100, I'll bite. Not saying he isn't worth it, just I don't have much vested interest in the character so I'm not willing to pay as much as I was for Inferno or Grapple... Probably gonna end up waiting till he goes on sale somewhere.
Ditto. He looks cool and all, but I can't justify paying Inferno/Grapple prices for a character that I never heard of until I joined these boards. I frequent a great many toy shows and comic conventions, so hopefully, I can find him for cheap like I did with Road Rage. Just picked her up sealed for $40 at a toy show a few weeks ago.
I'm in the same boat as you guys....Seeing how MP RR and even Tracks got put on sale...Debating to either just wait it out or pull the trigger with AE sigh.
I've got a feeling TT will scale down the production run. Repaints are just not that popular. If you guys can pick it up for a discounted price down the track then you've done very well. It doesn't bother me either way I put my order in at HLJ last week.
Well then you might want to wait for Stepper. Artfire's Targetmaster may be NAMED Nightstick, but the figure was called Fracas and came with Scourge in the US. Stepper's Targetmaster was named Nebulon, but was identical to Nightstick in the US, who of course belonged to Cyclonus.
This has been the only "special edition" TF i have ever considered buying. I really like this one for some reason.
Probably the Targetmaster or that's it's just a kickass mold. Once either Captured Prey puts up a pre-order or if by some random miracle Amazon Japan decides to ship to the US of A, I'll pre-order. Unless MMC makes their Targetmaster less dull, I can't wait for Artfire.
Sooo ... for the toon-centric crowd, should the Artfire targetmaster be given to Eligos or Andras for my toon MP display???
