    He's sold out so now you're paying after market prices.

    You're assuming he'll even get a 2nd run. That may be a recipe for disappointment.

    Ya know, I KNEW I would end up kicking myself for buying Sideswipe at $160. But I knew I would kick myself more if I passed it up and never got another shot. Still though, my foot hurts. :redface2:

    they always make a 2nd run on MP. I've been in the game for years and they always do.

    Licenses complicate things, in my view. The older MPs (that got 2nd runs) didn't have to deal with licenses, unlike the new MP car bots (including the Lambor mold).

    No hologram of Lambo badge on the box and the vac tray inside isn't taped together. I think thy are the obvious ones.

    MP3 Starscream and MP7 Thundercracker beg to differ. Heck, even MP11 hasn't had a second run yet.

    If it means Sideswipe will become more readily accessible to fans, I hope they do it by all means.

    This isn't far off from what BBTS and the like were charging the first time around...$100 shipped.

    I'm personally going to wait to hear what they have to announce at SDCC, but if it's not that the MP cars are coming, I might have to grab one of these and try to get a better paint job than the one I got the first go-round.
