Ok, so.. let me start off by saying.. I am NOT a transformer collector.. I had 1 or 2 as a kid but was never big into them, I knew of the cartoons and that was about it. Today, I picked up my first "official" collector's transformer.. Masterpiece Skywarp. I found him on clearance at wal mart for 12 bux.. and couldnt resist.
Let me also say.. probably the best 12 bux I've spent on a toy in a long time. This thing is friggin amazing looking. The display stand is phenomenal and the toy itself displays fantastic. When I first saw him in package in transformed mode and saw the 60 dollar price tag I was like wtf.. but now that I see alot of the detail put into this thing, and the amount of time it took me to transform him.. I probably wouldve bought him at a slightly less price but he is still very much worth it. I think this has also sparked more of an interest to me in transformers, no so much with the movie stuff but with the masterpiece collector's stuff and more classic stuff. anyway,imo great find, great buy, great display, and even if you find it at 20 or 30 i recommend picking it up.

I'm a sucker for Transformers, maybe above GI Joe. The only reason I don't buy as many is because they stopped making the line I was collecting (Alternators) and I have all of them...
My treat every year or so is the next MP figure. I have all but the Ultra Magnus, because he's just a white Prime repaint. The Seekers are a great sculpt. I wasn't going to get the Wal-Mart Skywarp because I had the Japanese already, but I couldn't resist. And I paid the full $60 price tag, and if you ask me, it's still worth it for that figure. The Japanese was easily $100 or more. $12 is a steal! |

bro ive seen this one sitting in the same store for a while now, i saw the clearance tag in another isle that said $20.. and they had the rotf skywarp in its place.. so i went and grabbed the mp one, checked to match the skew and said ok 20 bux sure looks like a cool toy.. went to the register and BAM 12 bux. After messing with it for the last hour or two i say its worth every penny

my wal mart had a ton at $60, a few less at $30, about 8 at $20. at that point i had to buy it, got 2. the next week they had 2 left at $15, now they're gone.
worth every bit of $60, so, yeah, i'd say $12 for that toy is the deal of the century. i got a masterpiece prime ages ago for $50 on clearance at the mart, one of my all time favorite toys. |
