    I haven't been keeping up on things, but what's the expected RRP for MP10? Also, I've updated my sig, I'm looking for one of the grey ramps for Powermaster prime. Don't 'spose anyone has a junker lying about?

    The way he is going up in price in the US, its anyones guess. I think that he has proved more popular that they (TRU) were expecting. He started at $99 (and even had introductory discount pricing), then went to $120 and is now $130. I would expect him over here for at least £99 at this point (assuming that he ever gets a release, and is not held back so the US can keep more stock for their shelves).

    It's happened to me with PRID, each item I've bought on import after getting sick of waiting showed up in supermarkets about a week later!

    I'm contemplating Magnus and T'tron from Andy to do the rest of you a favour... ;)

    He should go between 50-70 in auction if you let it run. But then it is christmas and that was summer time I seen one go for that. So it could go for less or more!

    I would imagine if he's not at TRU this week then it's after Xmas for MP10 I can't see then releasing it next week just before Xmas. But then again this is TRU we are talking about.

    If it's not out this friday then I think I'm gonna get TFC's Phantom.

    What's peoples thoughts on FT03 Shockwave then?

    Rotorstorm: Can't wait to see your scream custom, waiting til after x-as then will get mine done. Might get a new figure as mine has a damaged left side of the head.

    I wasn't actually that big on Prime ultra magnus. He looks the part, no doubt, but in hand he feels light and lacks 'chunk'. If I see Thundertron, however, I'll give him a go.

    It would be nice if Hasbro UK had the brains to release Thundertron, Magnus and Skyquake as a single wave perhaps with one carry over or duplicate in a case of 4.

    But as it's Hasbro I suspect if you want Skyquake he'll either show up in march on clearance or even more likely never come out in Europe at all.

    My money's on the latter - we usually don't do well where last waves are concerned. :(

    Watch someone jump half-cocked on the first of that quote like it's actually going to happen.

    There won't be enough made for us to get any surplus.

    right now, it's very suspect that it will even be released in North America.

    picked up Prime Sergeant Kup this afternoon, not a figure I was too fussed about getting as I have Ironhide sitting in a pol but he is actually a decent little figure. Looking forward to getting Ironhide now so I can do a weapon swap.

    It looks like the best Shockwave since G1, so really tempted. It looks pretty solid but the QC would have to hold up.

    Yeah, I'm with you. As a massive Shockwave fan was drooling when first saw it but now nit-picking has started and the hose and legs are bugging me. Want to see more of it first, it looks fab next to MP10, a bit skinny but don't mind that to much.
