ALL THINGS TRANSFORMERS!!!!

[GeneralZodLives]

That's awesome!

 

[karamazov80]

I'm a bit surprised Takara hasn't taken a page from Igear and slightly retooled these into the coneheads, as they did with various cars.

 

[franpincho]

It sure is!

Does anybody know what "Asia exclusive" means as far as availability? Is it more expensive? Huge mark up from US stores?

Man, I HATE the U.S. Release, I just want my nice black boxes!

 

[karamazov80]

Is it more expensive? Huge mark up from US stores?

Probably yes. But sometimes these pop up from Asian sellers that westerners can order from like Hobby Link Japan or amiami, for lower prices. I personally don't care about the box, but have no use for the old MP seeker mold. In fact, I was just thinking last night that I need to get off my rear and sell my old Starscream.

Masterpiece Skywarp version 3 = Change the record Takara.....the line needs new Decepticon molds.

 

[karamazov80]

Well I wrote this off as not happening. And apart from Megs, this is the most important missing Decepticon from the ranks IMO, so I'm glad to have him personally.

[franpincho]

[MegaPrime33]

I like my MP Skywarp, but I do admit that he is missing some purple. This is quite nice, but not enough for me to get another one.

YAY!

BOOOOOOOOO!

Quite the rip off,there's no reason this should cost any more than Ultra Magnus or Optimus Prime. However they got me by the balls as I need this last seeker in my decepticon ranks. PO'd but I aint ecstatic about it.

UK based collectors have to pay £150 for that Skywarp which is currently the equivalent of about $240.

Not a problem for me as the only Seeker I really have any nostalgia for is Starscream but I might have been tempted had it been £30-£40 cheaper purely because it's another Decepticon from the era I'm most intrested in.

Prior to MP12's announcement I was collecting 3rd party only because the Masterpiece line had virtually nothing to offer.

Then the Masterpiece line picked up and after deciding to give up on Classics I cut right down on 3rd party figures.

It now looks like my priority has swung back to the 3rd party stuff as the only things on my radar that're officially licensed TF products are the Kidslogic Megatron & Starscream.

I hope that Shogo Hasui gets put back on the Masterpiece line ASAP because it's looking increasingly like the decision to move him onto Bayformers has spelt the end of the golden era we've been in since Sideswipe came along and changed the Masterpiece line into something special.

$240? Yikes! is that because of import fees and whatnot? Are you not picking up Bee and Ultra Magnus? Ive been very tempted to jump on the 3rd party Dinobots train but havent bit the bullet,there is just so much coming out next year I really need to be picky because of space reasons. I like you was only collecting 3rd party prior to MP12,bought quite a few figures and now that the MP line has picked up Ive sold most of them mainly because the MP line has been scratching that Transformers itch Ive had. Hasui's work really has pulled me in and I really hope he does get to continue on the MP line forever. Any guesses on who is the next MP figure? There is much speculation that is Megatron or Galvatron, both of who Id welcome with open arms. Still Id love to see Hound done ASAP and once him, Megatron V2 and Devastator are done,the rest will be icing on the cake for me.

 

[Furyan]

Oh **** new 3rd party MP Megatron in the works...

 

[lerath666]

butt-poundingly awesome.

 

[dedguy]

I must admit I still like Hegemon better… but part of that is that I'm not into the MP aesthetic. I will say though that that fits in better with the MP line than any of the handful of recent new MP molds Takara has done. I'm not sure Takara can top it, at least in my eyes. Especially based on what Ultra Magnus looks like.

 

[GeneralZodLives]

Oh **** new 3rd party MP Megatron in the works...

That looks amazing--I'm in if the quality's good.

 

[Rock83]

That Megatron looks great so far.Kinda bummed that Takara decided to re-release the MP-05 and this Gold version over an updated one which we really need right now.

About damn time Skywarp got the MP-11 treatment to,but im happy with my Con Air set from Igear.

 

[karamazov80]

Wow, that Megs looks great! Hegemon was always a bit off to me, but on first glance this figure is a pretty spot on Megs.
