    just got done looking at the new toys and after seeing the price of the upcoming stuff, I may have to give up collecting due to wallet self destructing. Makes me wonder if Hasbro is trying to kill off the line with canceled figures and price increases to upset fans?
    Just my opinion anyways.

    if that's the case, they're trying to shut down because they keep rocketing all their lines. gi joes are now $11

    so i saw the front page pics of mp-10 us release.this is the prime ive been waiting for.when he comes out i will pay whatever it costs to obtain this at retail or from one of you guys.

    i got mp09 from jasonmako a while back and it went very well.the toy wasnt the same without the trailer though so instead of spending 200 buck to get it i sold him to christoph prime who has it proudly displayed lighting our darkest hour.


    this is different.this is optimus prime.when i get a hold of him i will hold it like a child and never let go.

    If he is to the first MP scale then he is just as tall if not a little taller. If the price is right I may even try for 2. I mean the kid inside needs to play hehe.

    Oh you lucky dog! I've been hunting for his guy all weekend... At least it's confirmed in the area, so my hunting for the past few days is not completely in vain...

    The MP-10 Prime is very close to the same height as the Masterpiece Rodimus Prime. (he might be very slightly taller.) And so, he's more in scale with MP Grimlock than the original MP Prime. He is NOT as tall as the original MP Prime nor does he have the amount of die-cast as the original MP Prime.

    I hope that helps!

    So we can look at $100 or less on this MP OP toy if there is less die-cast on him hopefully.

    from what i saw the us release has all the same accessories.
    bbts is charging $250 plus 20 or something for shipping.

    i kinda just want diecast where its crucial to the figure (rodimus's feet)
    but im afraid to say i dont know.$65 was hard to do.im gonna pay whatever though becuase this is a holy grail for me.i might not see it at retail though...and becuase of how much he might be im a little ashamed to ask one of you guys to pick me up one.

    For a Hasbro release you're probably looking at $100-$150 for the thing. And probably in a much smaller release quantity because of that. Expect 2 per case, and a max of 8 cases per store (2-4 cases in smaller volume stores).

    Basically, this is going to go the way of MP Grimlock. Be ready.

    I hope Hasbro's MP-10 will be at SDCC (which I have tickets for already).

    I'm pretty sure Prime is $99.99 retail. He is for Canada for sure. I'm not sure what that will be for the US.

    Honestly, I think you'll want to wait until after the Avengers movie hits the theaters. I think a lot of stores are stocking up for that right now :)
