Scored a TF Prime Dreadwing today and he is awesome! Also I can't wait till I get MP Sideswipe, looks fantastic.

Nice! I saw him at TRU but for $30, he looks baddass and love the character. I can wait when other retailers has him for less. MP Prime is the one I can't wait for.
 
My TRU store will have 8 MP-10 hope to get 2

Called my local TRU to see if they have any MP Prime instock, they said they only have a case (2 Primes) coming and priced at $138.99 :gah:
Man they weren't kidding about the mark up, huh? It's just rediculous what Hasbro is charging nowadays. I saw at Target deluxe FOC figures at like $17! Just ridiculous. Should've gotten shockwave when he was $4 cheaper :lol

Yea TFPrime dreadwing is an awesome figure but I think I've gotten the fits I wanted from TFP so far. I'd love a voyager ratchet but other than that I'm pretty much set. I'm just waiting on my Striker Prime with buster paint job to get here :impatient:

Wait... Is it a custom striker Prime or they re-released it with buster Primes paint?

Re-releasing it with buster paint but he also comes with the hand held swords/blades
So far there have only been 2 inhand images though. One of the box and one of the figure

:horror how much and where can I get it from?

$189.99 and free shipping from TFSource.com which is where I have my order in at. I think BBTS has it for 189.99 and you pay the shipping. Pretty sure toyArena and RobotKingdom probably have it up for sale as well at a similar price
 
Got Igear's Ratchet and Ironhide today.They look really good and you get a bunch of stuff,but to be honest most of it is very unecessary which is a shame because i feel like the 110$ price tag is because of the ton of accessories it comes with that you will never use.Based on what you need of the accessories i feel like these should have been around 70-80$ each.

A little dissappointed in Igears choice to make the waist and legs black on ironhide,when he is grey on those parts.
Overall these are the best presentations of Ratchet and Ironhide out there so i had to get them.

Congrats!

If I recall correctly one of the iGear insiders at TFW2005 said that the production cost of all the extra weapons and things had minimal impact on the final price, no exact figure was mentioned but it was not enough to make a $30-$40 difference to the price.

I like the extra headsculpts best, closely followed by Ratchet's tools , Ironhide's BFG's and the combat knife that's included with both.

The other stuff I probably won't use but it's always nice to have options and I don't mind them being included.

As far as the color schemes go I don't mind the changes on Ironhide but I would have liked the black parts on Ratchet to be white especially the upper arms like on the packaging art.

That's a minor thing though as they're the only decent toys of those characters since 1984.

Why can't they chrome the smoke stacks... Or at least paint it silver...

:gah: I got the Striker Prime and Buster Prime. Damn tempted to get that new Striker Prime.
 
I pre-ordered MP10 from TRU on 9/24 but they still haven't shipped or do I know the status if I will still even get it. :(

Wrote to their support but no one has answered after waiting for days. Hope TRU won't screw me over since I PO'd it at $99.
 
TRU.com has voyager Dreadwing back instock and on sale for $20. Got one and some other things with free shipping. Constantly looking and hoping for MP Prime

I sent them a message too. First I received an automated reponse that didn't really answer anything. They finally emailed back saying the release date has been moved back to November 2 I believe.
 
I was at Toys R Us yesterday and they had 4 MP Primes on the shelve and 2 unopened boxes on top of the shelves priced at $119. I was fortunate enough to score 2 of them at the $99 price tag a few weeks ago. It seems like feast or famine with that store any more.

Care to sell me one?

aaaaahh lucky you! i think ive got wait til they ship mine with red alert!
btw EX parts i was referring to are the AMAZON EXclusive piledriver parts!

having seen mp ss, in stock on ebay for around £55,i should waited as its the quicker cheaper option.
 
I picked up the Hercules guys a couple of weeks ago, and put him together last night. One QC problem (2 right arms on Crank) keep him from being perfect right now, but even as-is this guy is really amazing. The size is even more impressive than I imagined. Cost feels much more justifiable when you actually put him in Devastator mode.
