ALL THINGS TRANSFORMERS!!!!

US MP-10 will be mine. Arielbots sound awesome, too. I have very fond memories of getting the originals for Easter as a child. But. . .I'll probably pass due to cost, just like I have with Hercules

 

[Spiderwebb13]

The price of the Arielbots will probably deter me too. I'm sure they will look fantastic and I'd love to have them, but I can pass on them unlike Hercules.

 

[DPrime]

I will probably get the Aerialbots, myself. $100 per figure isn't so bad, depending on what else is going on at the time.

And it'll be five, not six, right?

Five...but Silverbolt might be most expensive

Superion will also be in Scale with Hercules

 

[Spiderwebb13]

Didn't think about only being 5 instead of 6. That may make a bit of a difference. Good to hear it'll be in scale with Herc.

 

[DPrime]

Yeah, I was thinking that...

But then again, the other four might be a bit smaller than the Hercbots as well. Not as bulky, etc.

Either way, I'm probably in for Superion and Bruticus. Others, maybe. Maybe not.

 

[Balsquat]

HAHAHA. Good one.

$12??? You got an excellent deal on him.

I remember seeing it for $22 at TOYSRUS US, but I'm in canada and got stuck paying $120 at the time because I did not know anbody in teh statues back in 2007-08

 

[Balsquat]

...and for the record, I still don't regret it.

 

[YoNoSe]

Any word on when MP 10 will be released in TRU? I'll probably have to haunt the online store for one. I don't even bother with the local TRUs, they never have anything.

 

[Spiderwebb13]

I don't think they mentioned a release date yet. Probably towards the end of summer or the fall though.

Anybody know any place to get a Universe/Henkei Smokescreen for a decent price? I can't believe he's going for almost $50 with shipping.

The Henkei one might cost you double that.

But it's worth it. So much better than the Universe version.

At any rate, your best bet is TFW2005 or some other forum. You'll get a better deal than on Ebay.

 

[DPrime]

...and for the record, I still don't regret it.

Pretty sure I paid full price as well.

But if you think about it, it's a good thing that so many of us did. If we all waited for clearance prices, we wouldn't get any more MPs!

yea I was surprised when I saw it there on clearance then scanned it and was like "yep, he's mine!"

back when I got the Hasbro 20th MP Prime, I was a collector of TFs but not as hardcore to pay more than what a leader class figures costs. but after starting to collect HT, paying more for TFs isn't so bad

There's always Takara imports

Prior to the Sideswipe announcement I was very apathetic about the MP line and where it seemed to be going, Rodimus was meh, the new Prime is fugly and Starscream wasn't really needed.

Sideswipe will be a very welcome breath of fresh air.

At the booth I believe they said summer. But don't quote me boy cause I ain't said sheet.

Yeah, I also put up a WTB there, but nothing yet. And yeah, I always prefer the Henkei version if I could find it for around $50, but no luck either.

Some pics of the other FOC Deluxes announced at Botcon,

Starscream = Nice design, but too small. A Voyager would have been a definite purchase for me.

Fireflight = Appears to have some new parts but it's basically a rehash of the Shockwave mold.

Ultra Magnus = Nice to see a Magnus with his own headsculpt and color scheme but IMO the mold is too small for either Prime or UM and inferior in aesthetic to the one from the first game.

Sideswipe = Retool of Jazz with a nice....headsculpt.

The higher price for the Henkei version is worth it, but you probably won't ever get it for $50...

yeah, I was able to find a Universe version for $25 shipped, so I'll just jump on that "deal" for now. now, to find a henkei Hound, I hope that isn't too diffcult
