    why? 60-70 for the usual TRU mp + the trailer? think at minimum we're looking at $89-99 here, which imo is still fantastic. can't wait.

    I bought MP-10 Prime (my first Takara Masterpiece since Megatron) because I just KNEW the US release wouldn't come with a trailer, Roller, or Spike. Well played, Hasbro...well played. At least I got it during that sale on Newegg through Toynk, so I didn't get completely hosed. :)  But I'm so glad everyone in the States is gonna have a shot at it, because it's SUCH a great mold. The new truck mode alone puts the original MP-01 truck mode to shame.

    I can't help but think a LOT of MP-10 owners woke up this morning and reached for some Preparation H! I never thought we'd see this released here in its entirety but for once, I'm actually glad I was too broke to buy this beast!

    I'm saying at least $99. They could charge a little more, but I don't know if TRU likes to breach that $100 barrier on a single toy. If that's the case then I can live with that.


    I just want to know (along with how much) is WHEN?!? Threw me for a bit of a loop to hear we were getting him in the first place, but to have in box pics already, I'm thinking it may be sooner rather than later. Probably just after SDCC is what I'll guess.

    So my grandmother is in the hospital with internal bleeding that the drs can't find. So if it didn't stop soon, they are going to remove 70% of her colon.

    at this point it's done and paid for. plus, i prefer the silver head, the lack of yellow lights and a silver roller.

    I can't say I don't feel a little sore about it, but I didn't exactly pay for my MP10. I used BBTS store credit to take care of that. Plus I still had some cash left over for other things. Oh well. I don't know why, but I'll be grabbing the TRU version if I see it retail also.


    You got my text.

    The Voyager FoC Soundwave and Legion Class FoC "Data Disks" Rumble, Frenzy, Ratbat and Ravage are the best news to come out of Botcon.

    The FoC Insecticon Kickback is AWESOME too!!!

    Outside of that....

    Thanks guys, I appreciate the support. As far as we know it's nothing fatal, thankfully.

    idk i think the majority is pretty sweet.

    it sucks the better FOC Bruticus is a SDCC exclusive but the box art and set is awesome looking.

    and that terrorcon CJ packaging and figure are just as sweet.

    i think the weakest reveals for me were Prime Dead End and Arachnid, that big piece of the cockpit behind her head is meh, hope it can go down more.

    also club exclusives are pretty sweet.

    Didn't seem like there was a whole lot mentioned in general about Prime. Nothing to indicate if it's still doing well or if it may be heading toward another eventual premature ending.

    I had hoped we would at least hear more in terms of news of new Prime figures coming, but everything seemed to be what we already knew was coming.

    The MP-10 news and the SDCC exclusives were the only thing I really found exciting, otherwise it was yet another letdown for me.

    There was a lot of news about FoC figs, fireflight, soundblaster, sideswipe, ultra magnus. Seeing the data discs was very cool and ravage is the best of them.

    In Prime there was a clip with shockwave, so hopefully we get a prime shockwave fig.

    FOC Shocky is neat. That little Bot Shots red Ironhide seems cool. Neither are my thing, though. Stateside MP-10 will be a buy. Not feeling much else from the show, honestly.

    Hope your grandma has nothing but the best prospects, OP83.

    Every figure they showed in the Hasbro and TFCC panels looked better than anything that was in this years Box Set.


    The subscription service scares me, because I think its got to be over $400 and possibly $500 and there is no more a la carte, unless you are willing to pay a premium for the same figures.

    I think we'll be doing plenty of subscription divvying.

    I know I plan on subscribing for like 2 figures and taking at-cost "pre-orders" from any takers for the remaining 4 that I don't want.

    I'm still like... man, *six* figures? Do they really have enough good ideas to do six figures every year, in addition to Club Exclusive and conventions sets?

    Is there any news about FoC Dinobots toys? I'd be happy to see them if they're making one.

    about 20 new figs a year from TFCC, that is a lot. I hope they keep it to current lines and avoid the Unicron Trilogy figs.
