    I need to get this guy shouldnt of skipped out on him. Prices are kinda ridiculous now for him ugh. Might try the KO route for once but even that may be expensive.

    can you find the KO for him anymore? I haven't seen those on ebay or the common retailer sites for some time.

    He will be reissued eventually. Maybe shortly after they do CliffJumper?

    I assume the few i found for $120 are KO's as the legit ones seem to fetch $160 on up.

    That would be great if true. I usually buy every Masterpiece I want during the first run so I have never kept up with reissues on anything. Are reissues usally sold on AJ or BBTS and the likes?

    Yes. The Optimus Primal reissue is the most recent MP reissue I believe, and that’s on bbts and other places.

    Just forum lurking at the moment and I love to see MP45 enjoyers, amazing figure. Jobby really ruined its reputation same with MP44.

    Off topic posts have been deleted - this thread is about MP-45, not 44, and certainly not X,Y,Z reviewer. :)

    Edit:nvm

    As for MP-45, I prefer it in some ways(looks fantastic from the front), but it really does look unfinished with how the feet and back look, MP-21 was just fine and I don’t think needed an upgrade. That said I don’t think it’s a bad figure, the asking price is too steep for me especially for such a small figure, but it’s a decent buy at the right price, alt-mode is adorable has an easy transformation and is a fun figure to play with. I’m not really happy though with them just using a retooled version to make Cliffjumper with it though, both because it still looks unfinished and because I think Cliff is a character that warrants his own unique mold

    That's about where I am on 45. The car mode looks great all around...bot mode is great from the front...but the sides and rear of the bot and the price were dealbreakers for me.

    They went through all that trouble to make the car incredibly cartoony, and then put wheels on it that don't look like the cartoon.

    Sorry for the potato cam pic but I've had these two guys keeping me company at my desk for a while now.
    My wife just pointed at BB and said that he's got cleavage. I looked and saw what she was talking about and couldn't help but laugh and then share this with you all.

    Still can't understand why they didn't make his windows blue! ALL S1 bots NEED blue windows! Plus it would hide.... that!

    Toyhax FTW! I'm a purist, but in this case I had to and it looks remarkable.
