    If it's 60... that's stupid. Sunstorm is just 20$ more. I will be better off importing the japanese version, costs the same...

    I don't have a problem with Hasbro MP Prowl being $60.

    I may consider getting it, though I'll probably get the Takara version instead.

    $60 isn't bad to me IF it stays at that but we all know it'll jump to $70 in probably a week which then will piss me off cause it's only $9.99 cheaper than buying the takara version here from bbts or tfsource.

    Where are you guys getting $60 from? Doesn't the Hasbro press release explicitly say $70 for Prowl?

    Are you referring to Prowl or Soundwave?

    Anyone who has bought it can share the difference between the Takara one?

    Personally I think 60 is way too much for a figure of his size, MP or not. He shouldn't retail for more than a damn leader class. 39.99 and I'll buy him. 60, or more, is just rape.

    Anything over $50 is insanity, and from the looks of the box Hasbro is padding the box with hot air to fool people into thinking they're getting more for such a high price.

    I'm excited, but the only MP my tRU has ever had was MP11 Thundercracker. :(

    Glad I already have two Takara MP Prowls. The hunt has since lost all its appeal for me and Prowl is definite scalper bait (Sunstorm, probably not so much).

    Today? I don't see it.

    Edit... Oh you meant Sunstorm.

    I just came back from my local TRU here in AZ and didn't see any Prowl. Tons of Age of Extinction toys and about 10 Series 1 Loyal Subjects (one box was opened and Thundercracker was exposed). Didn't see any indication he was out as no labels on the shelves...

    I'll just get Takara so I give up on Hasbro Masterpiece since Grimlock TRU Exclusive re-released

    I'll definitely try to get it, but I doubt I'd ever have enough money.

    Exorbitant pricing practically begs us to get the KO instead.
