    Was the coin supposed to be included with the amazon release as well? I live in Japan and buy all the masterpieces from them, so how do you get the coin?

    Was just about to comment about the coin too--Takara Tomy MPs do not (sadly) come with coins--we get other exclusives...would be nice to have coins too, however:(

    The coin is exclusive to areas that Hasbro Asia distributes TakaraTomy product to. So China, Malaysia, and Hong Kong. I'm not sure if there are any others but Japan doesn't get any of the coins.

    I think it's kinda weird they went with off-white for the cartoon face and silver for the toy face. On the show white, off-white, and grey represented silver, and painting his face silver would've given him more consistency with the rest of the line. Still, I'm super happy with what we got.

    Just opened my box from TFSource. Got the coin and battle mask which were a great addition to this piece as was the Exo suit. This is a must have for any G1 fan. Great look, simple transformation, and feels very sturdy. I was so happy i just put in a rush order for the Asia MP-11 coronation Starscream.

    If anyone wants to sell their exo suit then drop me a PM. However, I won't pay $40 for it, I'm afraid. :lol  ;)

    I love MP-21 Bumblebee, but that whole package was a rip off. Adding the exosuit to justify the size of Bumblebee and the cost was ridiculous. So instead of paying 70 some odd dollars for a half size MP-21, I got $40 back. I respect that some people like the exosuit and are happy with it, but I was not. And according to the others for sale on ebay for nearly the same price, others weren't happy with it either.

    There was one on eBay that just ended yesterday for $25, which is what I would pay. However, if you managed to sell it for more, then fair enough, I guess.

    It's a shame you think that MP Bumblebee was only worth $30 though! I think he rocks. :)

    No, it's a shame that someone thought the exosuit was worth that much. I think Bumblebee is worth more, he has to be my favorite. Got mine from BigBadToyStore for $74.99 + tax and shipping. $82.38 total. So $40-$50 would have been a better price for him w/o exosuit. And technically despite articulation and the fact that it is a realistic licensed product, Classics Bumblebee could be a strong substitute. And he was less than $20. Neither have articulated opening hands with side folding panels on the arms, AND they have similar transformations. I don't agree with the price just for the sake of being designated a Masterpiece. I feel the price tag is for the nostalgia. But again, he is my favorite. If I were to sell my TF's, he would stay. But Generations Bee was my favorite of that line too.
