I had to order Prowl.
What are the chances any of these cars will show up as US releases? I've heard Sideswipe isn't coming which is why I bought the import version, but I'm just curious about the rest.

But yet there are still people who insist that there's no way, no how, Hasbro bothers with MP Autobot cars. Personally, I'm optimistic overall. Takara may have screwed the pooch with Lamborghini (yay rumors!) but I don't see any rational reason why the US won't get at least some of the cars, if not all. |

I'd take them all if they were US releases. But at Import prices I will be limiting my collection to Sideswipe and Prowl so far.

I hear you. I'm a bit worried about the Lambo rumors myself. I had preorders with BBTS, but when they hit money was tight, the future was unknown, and I couldn't justify $90 each. Fast forward a few months and there's a chance Lambo pulled out completely, there's 3 new cars on the way (two of which look amazing, and I'm sure the third will as well), and we've gotten confirmation that Hasbro is proceeding with the MP line in the US. Nothing on the cars yet, but Soundwave and Acid Storm are good signs. I got 10+ hours of OT this week, so I caved and ordered a Red Alert while they were still available in places. It'll suck if I missed out on 'Swipe, but that's the risk I took. I think the Datsuns will see a US release, but even if they are confirmed before they come out in Japan I'm still going to pick up a Takara Bluestreak. Who knows if Hasbro will go toon or toy for his deco?

Man, at this point I am really upset that I wasn't able to snag the recent Masterpiece Optimus. Saw it a couple times at TRU, but with it being the holiday season and money being a little tight, I couldn't justify dropping that much cash on something from a line that technically I "don't collect."
Soundwave, however, WILL be mine. If I have to own any Masterpiece Transformer, it'd be him (Though Shockwave would be another must-buy if they made him). The one thing that I learned with these guys early on especially with US releases is if you see them buy them. That is of course if you don't already have them. Quote:
Was it just a rumor, or was it confirmed that mp sideswipe and/or red alert is/were going to have a US (tru?) release?
Since I don't buy similar repaints, I am thinking of just buying sideswipe if it gets released again at the $84 price. I avoided the first run with all the paint issues. Quote:

The rumors helped move things along much quicker than I anticipated, and the Masterpiece line is really taking off. A car that I wasn't convinced was worth $84 is now being sold for almost twice that in some instances. Last edited by Iron Guru; 03-06-2013 at 10:02 PM.. |

Wow. Did not know about Takara's Lambo license expiring for MP Sideswipe. I'm glad I got it when I did a few months back.

So the Feral Rex Project by MMC has the Limb Figures standing around 7.25" and "Razorclaw" at around 8" tall. That said, I'm very glad I'm onboard with this release. I think they're going to fit in very well going toe-to-toe with the MP Autobot cars coming out.
Moving on, the seeker mold: Yes, Takara will no doubt release more seekers. Skywarp's in demand, of course, and I suspect that folks would buy a Takara release of Thundercracker as well provided it not look like the Hasbro release with it's "body art". There's also that the new design lends itself better to the idea of being retooled to be the conehead trio as well. I think we merely need be patient. The Soundwave cassettes continue to impress me. I like Ravage a lot more in person that I thought was possible. Again I say that I'm turned off by the figure's head and neck design. I really, really wish there'd been some articulation in both. And it seems like his mouth should be able to open. But those are my only real complaints and I realize that they're working in a very small space. With Rumble, I find his arms little bit stubby and I'm annoyed by the lack of a forearm of bicep swivel. I know, I know... but I think they could've worked it out with either sliding panels or ball joints. Still, those issues don't make me regret buying them. I don't play with my toys, after all. I guess I just want more dynamic or natural posing. Now, for the Datsun's. I'm very happy with the images we've seen so far. Prowl and Bluestreak look amazing and I'm sure Smokescreen will also. I just hope they've learned whatever lessons needed to be so that the paint won't be an issue this time around. Last edited by Hicks_Royel; 03-10-2013 at 06:35 AM.. |
