For those of you living in Hong Kong and patiently awaiting the release of Masterpiece Thundercracker, the wait is over! Clintfca sighted a stack of MP Thundercrackers at Toys R Us. The price is $699 in Hong Kong Dollars, approximately $90+ in American Dollars.
Happy hunting!

This is awesome. 90 dollars is alot though.

Don't get too excited, it's just around $90+ in USD.

YES! Got my TC, thanks to my cousin for getting it for me from NY.

Just went to the Times Square TRU about an hour ago, and it no longer looks like that. The stack of TCs are about half as high and there the shelf space has been cleared of TCs. The price is also $86.99 now. My guess is that TRU had these TCs shipped elsewhere since they weren't really moving very well in NYC.
Folks, get ready for Masterpiece Optimus, which, by the looks of it, should be dropping in NYC next week.

this is actually the 3rd shipment of tc at this store (that i know of) first time they had like 6, then about 10, and now like 40… i went back yesterday, they have about 20 left.

Wow! Wish the TRUs here in San Antonio had a TF display that nice. Incidentally, this TRU (Times Square, NYC) is the same one where I got my MP TC shipped from via a friend. Guess they have no shortage of TCs there. XD

I'm off to HK next month. Knowing my luck they'll all be gone by the time I get there…but they'll hit Canada just in time (and susequently disappear when I return home)!
QFE. Seems like some people are in dire need of some geography lessons.

The "son of a bitch" moment for me was when I realized that there were more on the shelf behind the TC-Totem. I mean, really, I'm pretty sure there are more in that photo than this whole state got. Friggin New York…

Sucks that they're $90 though in China. Especially because you know somebody's gonna walk into that store, go, "Hey, I made that… sonuvabitch… 700$. I only got paid twenty for the week!"

Is this rhetorical?
slight market size difference between the Bay and NYC.
Naytron
That's WACK! How do they get so many and the whole Bay Area gets about 10? if that…
Bubbah
All of them came with the old instructions. If you go to their website though, you can download/print the correct ones

Wow! To see a display like that wld over here wld be a miracle. My TRU is pathetic when it comes to transformers.
CobramusPrime
Wow, anyone up for a nice game of Jenga?
squawkbot
Thundercracker AND MP Prime stacked that high?!?!?! WTF HASBRO?!?!
RustyBarnacles
Anyone have the US version with the old seeker mold instruction sheet?
When I got my TC, I had some rouble getting him out of alt mode, mainly the legs ad that is what is the primary difference from the original mold, and to my surprise I had old seeker instructions labeled mp TC from hasbro.

Hong Kong is in China, not Japan. Hong Kong uses Hong Kong Dollar for currency.
LegendAntihero
looks like they misplaced the decimal point

This is Hong Kong. Hong Kong uses Hong Kong dollars. The conversion rate is about 8 HKD for every USD.
