    That is correct. For those who are mathematically-challenged, the difference is $20. For a plastic box I have no use for. If you do, great. Have at it. Why don't you give TRU $120 for it though? It's only $20 extra. That's nothing, right?

    I hope the wide release is true. Store exclusives are nothing but trouble for customers.

    Yea for us with jobs it should be no problem but I can feel for those in College or High School. Getting $60-$80 from your parents or convincing to buy him at that price for you is a lot easer than at $100. My advice for those, borrow or save up ~$20 a week and save it up and then when he is released ask for the rest. $100 at a single time seems like a lot but by breaking it down over a month (hopefully for you he takes that long to get stocked) not so bad???

    Honestly if he were released w\o the trailer I'd be prepared to drop every bit of $250 for the Takara version with the trailer so yea it's that important to me.

    If anyone wants to complain about 100 dollars you should not be seriously collecting TF's. I gotta save up 355 for Maketoys Giant and despite how tough that is for me I'm not complaining!! If Hasbro wants 100 dollars that is no problem I say because I want to support their efforts in making more MP's geared towards serious collectors.

    Yo take a fuckin chill-pill man! I don't think everyone is made of mulah like you. But this price tag of $100- looks much more attainable than the TT version at $275- shipped.

    Glad I waited for Hasbro ver :)

    i'm not made of money either, but seriously, this thing is a steal at $100, if anyone is complaining about the price, they shouldn't be a collector at all, cause this is frickin cheap for MP-10 WITH TRAILER

    I agree. Sick of people bitching. Support Hasbro's efforts in our hardcore collecting desires or shut up and get back to buying bot shots!!

    I noticed that on the Hasbro Masterpiece Rodimus there was a "Toys R Us exclusive" sticker, about the size of a quarter. I have yet to see one on any of the pics of Masterpiece Prime.

    Yeah, well, I just don't like the sentimentality being expressed here. Be a big spender or GTFO? Really rotten attitude to have towards your fellow collectors in this fandom. Yeah, some folks are just straight up cheap. But others aren't and a $100 figure is just not in their budget.

    Some fans complain about Hasbro not doing things for the collector. Now they are going to put out a $100 figure for collectors. Other fans bitch about the price. Don't like it, don't buy it. For the rest of us that like these items it's a good deal at that price.

    $100 is a lot of money, yes, i am more aiming my complaint at those folks that are like "$100!?!!?!? HASBRO IS RIPPING US OFF, I WON'T BUY IT, IF IT WAS 50 BUCKS I'D OF BOUGHT IT", not the folks who legitly can't afford to spend $100 on it.

    its more aimed at those folks who don't think that $100 is a reasonalbe price for what you are getting
