MP-19 Bluestreak Pre-order (http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/search.aspx?search=takara%20masterpiece) :D

I'm wondering why they didn't just announce this at the same time as 17&18, since it's another reprint of the same toy?

[Starscream77]

We all knew it was coming

[Ultra Mackness]

I'm guessing they have something big coming up for MP 20 so they needed MP 19 to be relatively minor. My guess would be 20 will be Megatron V2, Ultra Magnus or maybe Shockwave. Pure speculation, but that's half the fun with the MP line!

[swoop]

I'm picking megatron for 20 and soundblaster with ratbat for 21

[5FDP]

I know it won't happen, but my life would be complete with MP Astrotrain and Tracks :cool:

[liegeprime]

Im hoping for a V2 Megatron. The first one is just too flimsy to play with :(..... though with all the hullaballoo with customs on MP if it was a smaller version 2 , sigh, it's gonna be a nightmare getting that figure in here :(

[griffin]

After an average of 1 or 2 per year in previous years, this now gives us an almost monthly release of MPs...

Sep - Sunstorm
Oct - (Sideswipe) Lambor
Nov - none
Dec - (Red) Alert
Jan - Soundwave
Feb - Rumble & Ravage
Mar - Frenzy & Buzzsaw
Apr - Black Optimus
May - (none?)
Jun - Tigertrack
Jul - Prowl
Aug - Smokescreen
Sep - Bluestreak

I wonder why they are suddenly pumping these things out now. It took them 8 years to get up to MP10, and only about a year to get to MP20.

I had my megatron taken away from me at customs when i came to Australia :( i really wish i had sold him back when i lived in America

I thought i was the only one hoping for a triple changer masterpiece

[Waxpython]

Is it just me or is Takara Trying to make transformers fans broke and then release a really cool masterpiece like trypticon and skyfire/jetfire so people will be too broke to buy them.

That would be funny and sad at the same time seeing as how i will probably be one of them

[Robzy]

Awesome news!! I love Bluestreak.

Hope all 3 of their heads are different.

I'm always broke but seem to find the money for TF's I like when it is needed:o Come on MP Beast Wars Dinobot/Rattrap 2 pack:D

[llamatron]

I think it's safe to assume that MP-20 will be something "big," probably Megatron V2 or maybe even Galvatron (strongly rumoured) or Shockwave (they've teased this in the past).

I was wondering that very same thing myself.

Does it lessen the 'special' feeling of Masterpieces at all? (not for me :p )

Well they did have a Galvatron hinted at before. Would the 20MP coincide with any anniversary?

Maybe because the collector fanbase is aging? If they kept doing 1-2 MP's annually (assuming they continue the line for another 15 years) that's not a whole lot of MP's.

+1. There's no reason why they wouldn't, Lambor and Red Alert had subtly different head sculps, different accessories and minor resculpting (ie RA's 'wheel shoulders'). Looking forward to 17-19 very much!

My guess for MP20 is Ultra Magnus.

[Trent]

Very cool announcement. I have however resigned myself to the fact that I can only have one character from this mold. And unfortunately for Bluestreak that is going to be either Prowl or Smokescreen.


My guess for MP20 is Ultra Magnus.

God I hope you're right.

[GoktimusPrime]

I might get it if I can find it cheaper than what BBTS is offering - those prices are expensive!! :eek: If I can't find it cheaper, I'll wait for a local Hasbro release.

[1orion2many]

:confused:Are you Scottish Gok:confused::p:) I must admit I'll go through Ehobbybase (Hong Kong based) as I'm hoping they will be cheaper:o
