As do I.

I'm gonna hold off and wait for reviews of both Primes before deciding on whether to buy them or not. They're too damn expensive for me to get them and find out that QC for these two is as bad as the first Rodimus run was.

 

Yes. For instance - Takara releasing that final Convoy and THEN, weeks after a bunch of people buy it, releasing this MP-10 for $250 is NOT "unfair" - it's just a crappy thing to do and a good reason not to buy anything from that company again. But "unfair" it is not. Bordering on dishonest? Shady? Underhanded? Poorly played? Perhaps. But not "unfair".

You watch - MP-11 will be an even BETTER Convoy, after a bunch of folks drop $250 on MP-10.

 

Yeah, I think the whole repairs thing sounds dubious, and probably won't reach the expectations people are having. If they really do pull it off, I'm not going to bitch and moan about getting the first release, but I will hope Hasbro uses the "repaired" mold. It does make me more cautious, though, and makes me want to hear a review and get some feedback on MP 10.

 

People in Japan can send in their Rodimus for an updated one according to reports. While this isn't an option for those outside of Japan (unless you know someone) at least they're fixing their mistakes.

It was kind of obvious that this was going to happen eventually. It was the last release of the original MP-1 mold (and was advertised as such - with a clue to the next Masterpiece after Rodimus). Logic would dictate that eventually they'd make a new Masterpiece Optimus mold if they were never going to use the original again.

I hope this version will get a true Ultra Magnus version, so that it can get a poseable combined trailer mode, with a real Ultra Magnus helmet.

 

mp11 is starscream if my interpretation of tcrackers saying is correct.

 

MP11 will be even better, I hope you're right. Just knowing that "Stairscream" will not be in his F15 Eagle already send a negative feeling in my head.

I'll probably do the same thing especially when MP10 doesn't excite me that much. So no hurry in getting him. *Still admire my MP1 mold*

Darn it, that's suck.

I dearly hope it's true; I'll be getting 2 sets.

 

ya but if screamer is a F22 G1 version then that would be BOSS!!!


after c n MP-10 truck mode im glad i didnt pass on this..but i still like MP-01 bot mode better..i might have to get two seeing how much im digging the truck mode but like to display my bots in bot mode..

 

This is exactly where I am at.

 

For people who don't follow SoC releases this should give you a good idea of what SoC generally gives you for the same money as TT wants for MP-10. I picked this guy since he's a transformer, but you could compare any of the larger SoCs to what TT is trying to pimp and it would come out about the same.

My money is on a f35, as it allows for mp-10 and the seekers to be in the same scale, as the f35 is smaller then the f22, thus utilizing interchangeable pilots the board, just a thought.

 

You contradict yourself.

 

I'm thinking that was another reason for the resize. Ultra Magnux and Powermaster Prime  

 

Personally, I doubt resizing having anything to do with either UMagnus or Powermaster Prime. Other than the two 12 inch leaders Prime and Megatron, the other characters like Seekers, Grimlock, and Rodimus are all from 9 inch and down. The way I see it, those 12 inch figures are too damn big as well too expensive to market for both manufacturers and consumers. That's why other than Prime and Megatron, we never see another 12 inch masterpiece. I believed the toy tokyo show which the designer mentioned something like MP9/10 will be the future scale for consistency.

 

Random checkups on HLJ's MP-10 item page. They are now accepting pre-orders. No change on AmiAmi despite having a product page up.

 

Whoo, I didn't know HLJ preorder/order page now have English & US Dollar, excellent.

 

Does it say worthless for US dollar?

 

For once I've paid an extra £10 or so and ordered from a Kapow Toys in the UK. It's just not worth risking the customs charge on something that expensive.

 

I don't get why OP should be the same height as HR and the Seekers... he should be taller than them based on any art I've ever seen. I don't care for scale so much as I'm just buying this one as a stand alone display piece and sticking to the regular lines for all other characters, but really, OP being the same height as HR is so weird to me.
