However it tries to prove the claim of two car MP's is true. I'm considering this toy fair "report" to be BS.
I can tell that if Slingshot and Wildrider aren't released in the end, enough time would have passed for Alpha Bravo and Offroad to become expensive/sold out. Gah!
I hope they are Generation 1 Dinobots and an Encore release will follow. But doesn't Hasbro still owe us a set of Platinum G1 coloured movie Dinobots? After all, Fall of Cybertron Bruticus did get a Platinum release, and I still find it weird as hell the G1 coloured movie Slog is just shelf warming on my local Toy R' Us without the rest of his team.
In that magazine image, the magazine is calling him MP-25, there's no TT premade image showing MP-25, so they could just be calling it MP-25 because it made sense, not because it is so. If you read the report, "Tracks (not MP25), MP25 in Sept (I can't reveal name before TakaraTomy)" So they BOTH would be coming out in September. I could list anything on Rakuten, it's a reseller's website. MP-12T is Tigertrack, he is explicitly not Sunstreaker.
The news about the Dinobots is just pure Joygasm,and I wish they would just go ahead and reveal what Trypticon is gonna look like I really want that sucker if he is under $150-$160,but I may be kidding myself at that price. About MP25 not being Tracks has me hopeful that TakTom is being so tight lipped about who MP25 really is and it ends up being Ironhide,again wishful thinking. Two Sports Cars in the MP Line has me intrigued,and it could end up being almost anyone so I will have to think on that. Finally with both MP and Leader Starscream I am okay with those,but not overly excited those but truth be told I am more anxious about getting Leader Thundercracker since I have always liked his color scheme better than any of the other Seekers.So that's it I guess,later all.
Devastator is hitting stores in June/July? I'd better start saving now! Hopefully we get more hints at 2016 CW before too long. Need to know if they're going to try to tackle the more unique combiners in Predaking/Abominus/Piranacon.
Yeah I know. But SDCC Exclusive Fall of Cybertron Bruticus made it as a Platinum release with a tiny bit of extra paint applications too. I hope the Dinobots do as well. After all, Slog is already mass released in Asia retail. Why not let us complete the team? More people will buy Slog too. I see no point for collectors in Asia to buy Slog if they cannot get their hands on the rest of the team.
Well if the rumor of the Reissue G1 Dinobots turns out to be false I'll pull the trigger on a KO set, I've been in that market for a while now.
I thought Devastator was going to be released in the Fall??? Is it going to hit Australian retail earlier then the US?
awesome news if we get g1 dinobot reissues. considering i bought KOs last year it would fit the standard practice of hasbro reissuing whatever i buy KOs of...
I have a contact that goes to the aus toy fair I will contact them tomorrow and find out whats really going on
One of the sports cars will be Mirage. A friend who is a distributor told me that a few months ago. No matter how much I questioned him about MP25 he also said the same thing. He can't release that information but it is something that will excite a lot of people. The other sports car might be the blue colored Streak. It is also supposed to be coming out this summer around July.
I was thinking about that too prior to this news, they go for like $150; if this set stays under $200 I'll probably bite. $150 or below definitely. Yeah, this is getting pretty serious for me now haha. Two years ago I bought Hasbro releases of Soundwave and Acid Storm, now I'm up to my ears in MPs and preorders. That would be pretty awesome! I can't imagine it would be any worse than the 3P. This year is going to be nuts!
Not to say the original poster is wrong, but we already have confirmation for Slingshot and Wildrider... Here are the TRU item #'s. Maybe he meant that Australia won't get them??? Item: 316077 TRA DEN DLX WILDRIDER Original Retail: $16.99 Item: 316069 TRA DEN DLX slingshot Original Retail: $16.99
I hope this report is true, and not a hoax or something. There aren't that many sportscars left, I am really hoping one of these upcoming MP "sportscars" is Jazz. I also wonder if Omnigonix are a little worried about Spinout now. Seriously hope the deco for the Trypticon re-release isn't awful.
Sports cars? Jazz? Sunstreaker? Please, let one be Jazz... I really hope those G1 Dinobots make it stateside...it'd be dumb not to...I mean if they're giving us Insecticons and triple changers with lame decos, then surely they must realize that Dinobots are a gold mine...I just don't understand why Hasbro can't grasp that...Dinobots will sell, and sell well.
