I can't believe Takara didn't use this opportunity to give Prime a basketball! How can we ever recreate that scene from The Master Builders without it!
I guess they are hard press to make their money back from this mold. I would agree with one of the posters on here. If they made a Michael Jordon one, I would really consider getting that one.
A Michael Jordan one would give us a great opportunity for some tweaked G1 inspired colored schemes - an MP-10 that finally has white thighs and possibly black legs/fists to mimic the bulls Black/White/Red colors, and a more Diaclone inspired deco based on his Wizards era and yes, not sure if anyone would want the Wizards era one, but having an official blue Prime might entice some collectors.
I wanna splurge on this but I really don't wanna pay any more than $300 (well maybe exactly one cent over). For all my complaints about MP10 I do enjoy setting a bunch of em together. Shame the ball isn't part of the set but it's got me curious if this was also a roundabout homage to that G1 scene.
What would ever makes you think that they took a loss on this mold? Methinks they'd already gone beyond cash cow when they made Shattered Glass and Gold Lagoon.
Considering how lately Hasbro/Takara try to get like 1-2 re-uses of a mold at least and MP-10 being a big seller already has more than 10 releases, I agree that HasTak have more than made up for the mold by the time SG and GL versions came around.
Or if they insist on a Laker team release, it'll be better if it's KOBE BRYANT. One of the Greatest Lakers of all time. And in China... KOBE is GOD.
It looks neat enough (though I'm not a big fan of the leopard spots) but I prefer some of the other atmos crossover colour variants that we saw. Sad that he doesn't come with the basketball. That would have been a fantastic addition.
At that price, it\'s shocking that a basketball wasn\'t included, or that the matrix wasn\'t painted to look like a basketball.
Wait can you even use that stand in the pictures? I wouldn’t think it’d be useful.

Rather see a Boston Celtic version for Larry Bird or something for Jordan. At least bring back something from the 80's and 90's!
