    I'm not sure about that. The Binaltech series (similar scale and quality to the new MP line) were running about 60 per toy IIRC, so a Takara Prowl at 60 is a decent price point. Unless your talking about a Hasbro release of Prowl, in which case I agree with you.

    Lead paint? Would be a surprise that Hasbro would allow something like that on one of their toys. Hasn't it been banned?

    Yes, for years now. I never head of a lead issue before. Prowl2000, can you cite your sources?

    Yeah, I'm calling bullshit on this until you source it. I've never heard this.

    That's awesome. Hopefully he'll either cost the same, or only be five or ten bucks more, by the time I'm able to scrounge up the cash to get him. Makes me hopeful that Prowl won't be more than forty or fifty bucks.

    Takara will be re-releasing MP-10 in April 2015. Currently no plans for the Hasbro version that we know about.

    for $60 I'd buy one just to sit on my desk at work.

    but given the mp-11 redecos were I believe $75. It makes me think that $60 for Prowl is more than likely what we're looking at and $90 for Grimlock if we're lucky... could easily see them jacking the price even higher given that he's an "A-list" character.

    Still if you don't already own either a Has or Tak MP-8 even $100 or so is acceptable for a pretty solid toy. Of course in a year or so we might be looking at a rescaled 3P Grimlock, so...

    I don't buy it.

    It's probably the old price, still in the system. They aren't stupid..just incompetent in certain areas of the company.

    If this is truly $60... Then it will be even harder for people to get, because all of us that have planned on buying one for $120 will buy 2.

    I know I will. For $60, I would finally paint one up.

    Ain't gunna happen.

    We're still supposed to get Sunstorm this year right? I can't believe TRU would put a $75 largely unknown seeker on the same shelf as a $60 Grimlock and expect both to sell.
