    why shell out 90 for a reissue when you can buy the real one for a little more. $90 for a reissue magnus is just ******ed.

    I agree the dimension look like MP Magnus to me. Plus Walmart has the Starscream Masterpiece later this year.

    I think its the MP. Theres no reason why reissue could cost more than MP Starscream, who is also going to walmart.

    I'm MORE than happy with my 6 inch Titanium G1 Magnus! Now if this was the MP version, then I'd think about it.

    WalMart stores and WalMart online are two separate entities. They both carry different products from time to time. This is most likely MP Ultra Magnus, literally in the Takara-Tomy box, simply imported for whatever reason.

    I think I might order one because I think it's a MP.

    Does anyone know if you can take it to a store for a return if you order online?

    I ordered it and will let you know when it comes in. One interesting point, the dimensions are 24" x 24" x 24".
    Pretty big box!

    I also ordered it hoping it's an MP. I'll let you guys know once it arrives.

    Well, this forum noob got intrigued enough to bite the bullet and order it.

    Even if it's just a regular re-issue, I've spent $100 on far worse in the past.

    Yeah this is strange. The MP would make a lot of White Chocolate Prime fans on this board wet themselves. I wish I collected G1 because I'd order him from that other website for 30 bucks cheaper.

    And yeah, I too am way happy with my Titanium 6' Ultra Magnus.
