    Yes, there is nothing wrong with masterpiece convoy version 2, it's so posable that you can have him cling onto a wall like spider-man.

    I reorganized my shelves last night. MP10 is still a place holder for MP44 but everything else is all ready for MP44's arrival. I can't wait... well I can but I don't want to... but I will.. because I have no choice. This will be my first order with Amazon Japan, so if everyone else's experiences are anything to go by, I won't have long to wait after his release.

    Still have MP-10, eh.
    Anyone else kept their MP-10?
    What will you do with them when MP-44 arrives? Two Primes on different shelves? Keep him with the non + carbots? Sell them (and just can't bear a Primeless collection for any length of time :p )

    Yep, still have and will keep MP10. (I also still have MP-04 (and Hasbro 20th(?) Anniversary (the first release) MP OP)). I have an OP vs Megatron shelf, so MP10 will move over there when MP44 arrives. MP10's trailer and accessories are already over there but I didn't like the big hole on the main MP shelf without MP10, so I put him back as the placeholder for the next couple of weeks.

    I actually have MP-4 and MP-10 both on my Masterpiece display. Both are cool and I just like having them there. Granted MP-4 looks funny standing in the background looking like wallpaper while MP-10 is with the rest of the team facing off with the Decpticons.

    Still need to sell off my MP-10! Need to get around to doing that this weekend. Same with my 3A G1 Optimus. MP-44's the only G1 Optimus I'll ever need.

    Funny that you mention having two different Primes on different shelves! I'm getting two copies of 44, but with his different heads, his ax, battle damage, and alt mode, it will be easy to differentiate the two copies as "different" Primes.

    I seem to remember that back in 1986, in San Francisco, some guy invented transparent aluminum. Have you looked into that?

    I just wish I had some shelves at the moment. Alot of work going on at my house at the moment means MP44 will have to make do with with being in a display case by my TV. With mp36 on the opposite. Still going to look bloody good imo. End of the day, I'm just pleased to be getting him :D

    Man you guys really believe this is still gonna happen don't you?

    Give it up already. It's too expensive, there's not enough backers, he's not an iconic or important enough character.

    It's OVER!!! IT'S OVERRRR!!!!!!!


    Oh, sorry, wrong thread.

    Ha ha! Very funny! By describing a different toy instead of the one this thread is dedicated to, you disguised your annoyance that this figure is being produced by making it look like you posted it here in error! Very clever. Hat’s off to you, good sir!

    I sold my MP10 2 years ago after MP36 Megs arrived. MP10 for me didn't look too good beside V2 Megs, don't get me wrong MP10 is still a very good MP. But with the updated aesthetics of V2 Megs I knew V3 Prime is just around the corner to match him.

    Nice!



    I'll probably replace one of those with this guy :

    It is a truly fun version of OP, plenty of play options. A favorite in my house, but it is sadly going to be replaced by MP-44!

    You guys are lucky! Few too many bdays and weddings ate into my budget, sold my preorder on eBay.
    Wasn't aware of Paypal tax and I made an error on the shipping price. Guy ended up with a steal as I only make around £8-10 profit on MP44 lmaooo.

    I'm going to have to enjoy the excitement through all ya'll pics & just be patient enough to wait on the second run as I did with MP36.
    When I get in contact with my guy who has my MP28 & MP10 in storage I'll hopefully be able to flip them to partially fund him next time around.

    On a side note, I'm at a loss to why Nippon Yasan doesn't allow Pay later options on Smokescreen+ or Bumblebee... this better not become an ugly new trend.

    Simple argument for keeping and the existence of both MP-10 & MP-44.

    Simple put. MP-10 is the MP version of the toy (his arms are just like the toy and his proportions), while MP-44 is the 'toon' version people were looking for. Both would have a place if you're aiming for a G1-toy MP collection and then have a 'toon' version MP collection.

    Now both are possible if you include 3P for characters not made by TT.

    The main reason I’m keeping MP10, apart from nostalgia, is because the trailer works with MPM-4
