    Does TT even really care about the MPM line? Ironhide releases at some point, not that I can tell you. Barricade is cheaper ordering from overseas then he is during TFSource Memorial Day sale. With them rebooting the Movie line the hype for this stuff has seriously died down.

    I can't shake a gut feeling Galvatron is gonna be alongside Prime. Roddy reissue, Megatron is already out, new Prime and Galvatron to really give the line a buzz.

    Happy anniversary.

    I think MP-9 is a wrap, stick a fork in it. If we got Galvatron I think we would have to have a New Rodiumus, that gap wouldl be bigger than the one between MP10 and MP36

    Where does the MPM Optimus "ROTF" edition rumour came from?.

    I'm not so sure it is. Mp09 is extremely screen accurate and his articulation was light years ahead of It's time. Decent elbows and hands with good build quality and he'd hold his own imo.

    It's not even about being accurate, compared to the current state of MPs, MP09 is a hot mess. He definitely has more minuses in comparisons to pluses at this point. I'd rather be stuck with MP10 with Megatron than MP09 and a new Galvatron. I would go so far to say he was in more dire need of a redo than MP10, I'm just pretty convinced a better Rodimus Prime can be made.

    I'd settle for a MP-09+ that has more white than gray.

    I didn't get the first run, but I've seen plenty of people say the second production run fixed the exploding knees issue and that it is a solid figure now. I anxiously await this reissue and will be getting it.

    Now that an encore Star Convoy it's returning this year. It makes me wonder if the "line that died and will return as MP" will feature japanese characters.

    Hmm... interesting/ good point- certainly fits with the hint that was dropped. No personal interest in those characters though...

    Crossing everything we get a new 'con, triple-changer, or something "big" extra to Prime. But still just glad we're getting hyped this time by a new mould G1 prototype + image of an impending TT trade show display stand - not a future issue of Figure King that may or may not have news.

    To quote some no mark's post from this thread earlier in March, this is a definite code green situation! :D  (EDIT: though obviously hindsight is a wonderful thing, Blaster was NOT imminent because of Steeljaw, and the B/W whisperers were proven right again this year ...)

    You know, it's been 8 years since we lived in Japan and while I hated it at the time, I actually miss Japanese TV. Especially the travel shows, they were great.

    Yeah NHK are Stoopid, you don't actually have to pay.

    Unlike in the UK where you can get a criminal record unless you pay for the State Propaganda Channel. :mad: /Rant

    I've owned all 3 versions and the third 'loose' one has been spot on. No issues or worries him exploding or breaking. In fact he might actually be my favourite mp. I wouldn't say no to a super articulated update, I just don't think it's as necessary as Optimus.

    Don't want to start any false rumours but I've seen quite a few people trying to offload mmc sphinx lately. Anything to this or literally just a coincidence?
