[DELTAprime]

Wow, JP finally gets him :rolleyes:. I've had mine since the HK release but I wish I got him for the TTM price.

[Wormz]

Hmm this peaks my interest

[yoshi594]

hopefully PC get this! otherwise i'll have to try my luck and order through TTmall

[Borgeman]

I wonder if this will strictly be only available via TTM? Since it came out in Asia already it will be interesting to see if PC or the US stores will get any.

[drifand]

hopefully PC get this! otherwise i'll have to try my luck and order through TTmall

I am going through mall so if you need one if the PC you missed let me know asap

[drifand]

My speculation? Hasbro will release the tru. Hasbro Asia may have more to release as is the same factory. But we will see.

[Ralph Wiggum]

Finally!!!!!!! Hope this translates to a wider release and no more exorbitant prices.

[drifand]

Maybe because TT has nothing else to release and this is an easy option to space some time on whatever they are working on

Oh and too bad for Ko for this news which might be TT intent to eliminate the competition.

[DaptoDog]

IT'S HAPPENING!!!

What a day. The Blazers signed Ezeli to a bargain contract and then this comes out. It's a Festivus Miracle!

[Wormz]

I am going through mall so if you need one if the PC you missed let me know asap

Dies this mean you are looking to do a group order ?? If so I'll def jump on board

[DaptoDog]

I knew that TTM/Tenso account would come in handy.

[drifand]

There is a limit of 3 pieces I believe and yoshi is from wa so I could order for him. If I order for other states you have to pay for the extra shipping cost.
Mind you, you could wait to see if other stores have it.

yup! i tried it with the masterpiece stands...they arrived safely :D

Yea thats cool.. If you haven't filled the 3rd spot by your time of ordering I'd be happy to jump in (as long as you are ok with it) and pay the extra shipping.. If not I can hopefully go through RBK or PC :)

[MEEEGGGAAATTTRRROOONNN!!!]

Just LOL at Takara!


アニメ作品「戦え!!超ロボット生命体トランスフォーマー」において固有の機能であるテレポート能力を披露 したスカイワープのビークルモードのジェット戦闘機を完全再現。（※実際の商品はテレポートは しません）

And the translation:


Animation work fully reproduce the jet fighter of the vehicle mode of Skywarp that showed off a teleport ability which is a unique feature in the "fight !! super robot life Transformers". (Actual product does not do teleport ※)

I suppose we needed something to laugh at after seeing how much it costs...

[Jetfire in the sky]

Great news for those that missed out on him.

[Kranix]

OMG! Man I hope PC stocks this, I missed the earlier Chinese run and want it badly!

[MEEEGGGAAATTTRRROOONNN!!!]

OMG! Man I hope PC stocks this, I missed the earlier Chinese run and want it badly!

They put up photos (https://www.facebook.com/premiumcollectaus/posts/1155134054508181) on their FB page about 20 minutes ago, so they'll most likely have it.

[drifand]

OMG! Man I hope PC stocks this, I missed the earlier Chinese run and want it badly!

I didn't miss it I actually didn't want it. But now that is so highly sort after , I buy one now.

[Omega Metro]

Awesome! Hopefully BBTS will get it.

[philby]

any word on price?

[drifand]

any word on price?

Cheaper than thrust mp at 14,904 jpy however their currency has gone up and it would be $199 at estimated Australian.

PC if lucky will price it at $170-190
All depends

[DaptoDog]

I have a feeling PC won't put this up for pre order until after it goes on sale at TTM. And we will have no idea about PC's allocation.

Given how highly anticipated this figure is I hope everyone is able to get one. Would hate it to be an EVA situation all over again (I know that one was extremely limited). Hopefully this also gets an Asia release meaning it won't be just limited to the 2000 units in Japan.

hmmm that's still pretty pricey imo based on the history of this mould and value. with no word or anything regarding a hasbro release it might be the cheapest it will ever get though...

[micfox001]

MP-11SW around $200 is insanely good.. No complaint at all..

[philby]

MP-11SW around $200 is insanely good.. No complaint at all..

yes but hasbro can release mp-11 pretty much exactly the same for $150. this is a straight repaint, it is black and purple not grey etc but that is all. imo $200 is only 'insanely good' when you compare it to the ridiculous prices on ebay and $200 US official release before.

[drifand]

yes but hasbro can release mp-11 for $150. the colours are different but that is all. imo $200 is only 'insanely good' when you compare it to the ridiculous prices on ebay and $200 US official release before.

I prefer TT seekers, the quality is higher a bit.

We can compare and contrast but I am just going to take TT mall ones if no one else is selling first.

MP-11SW is a special case. It was released by Hasbro Asia before. Now Takara releases it for Japanese market. I doubt Hasbro would release it again.

[micfox001]

If you check the MPs line., you will find that whatever MPs Hasbro released, Takara had done it before Hasbro and better, except MP-10.

Hasbro MPs might be a bit cheaper but they are inferior in most cases.

MP-11SW is another exception in terms of releasing date.

[Kranix]

I didn't miss it I actually didn't want it. But now that is so highly sort after , I buy one now.

Skywarp is one of my favourite characters and i like the MP11 mold, I've tried to buy him 4 times and something has happened to stuff that up 4 times! Fingers crossed I snare him this time!

PC has not given any official statement, I suspect hasbro Asia is not in any interest in selling it again.

Is such a shame jpy went up so high

[Ralph Wiggum]

Looks like there will be "limited stock" with coin through Hasbro Asia as well

Awesome! Shouldn't be too hard to get one then.

[drifand]

Awesome! Shouldn't be too hard to get one then.

Might be harder as normally Asia stock is not announced what qualities.

Given that PC has not updated, it may be far less than we think. Think about it 2k how many will be allocated to PC , how many to bbts and rk? Yup might be way less imo or maybe not.

Edit I realised is limited not 2k limit.

[Ralph Wiggum]

I think it'll be a tight one to get, due to a him being a long awaited reissue, question on subsequent availability through Hasbro Asia and potential for scalping.

Fingers crossed for tomorrow!c

[kurdt_the_goat]

Not to say another Asia release won't happen eventually, but do note that the page for Skywarp refers to it in name as "Transformers Asia Limited TF MP-11SW Masterpiece Skywarp", as if it's leftover stock from that release. By comparison, Thrust is just called "Transformers Masterpiece MP-11NT Thrust"

Also, Skywarp's page doesn't mention "This product is scheduled to be sold in Asia", whereas the pages for Ramjet and Thrust did/do.

But Asia page has released limited stock as well. And TT mall has started 2k so this isn't a left over stock? Doesn't make sense if so because they are all sold out anyway?

[DaptoDog]

Got it!

[ampoldj]

Got it!

did you get a total price including Tenso charges?

[DaptoDog]

did you get a total price including Tenso charges?

No I didn't. Look it will no doubt be cheaper if you can get one at PC. Just don't know how many they will have available so didn't want to risk it.

[drifand]

Got it!

TT mall?
Yeah got it too. No need drama if PC don't have.
At least not paying $500 for one

[drifand]

No I didn't. Look it will no doubt be cheaper if you can get one at PC. Just don't know how many they will have available so didn't want to risk it.

Correct! And that is excluded VIP had priorities

[DaptoDog]

Yes it was TTM. Good to hear you also got one. Yes I feel the PC drama will be strong with this one.

[drifand]

It's a toss up to cry later if there isn't one or just oh well I am prepared.
And I won't mind one from PC anyway if I can get one. They have not replied any mails.

So I don't think is worth risking if you are hard up for one. I even waited for hk stores.

[Frank]

No one word for tonight. Hope some news later.

[drifand]

No one word for tonight. Hope some news later.

Either hasbro Asia is not keen in doing it which is causing the delay as bbts rk had no news either. I am glad I am no longer depending on only one source for Tf toys.

Is still available on TT mall, so it's not selling out that fast.

RK PREORDER uped

[drifand]

Rk us$160 +us37 to ship about $270-275 after banks charge you etc...
Shipping looks to be way cheaper than Japan ones.

[Ralph Wiggum]

RK PREORDER uped


At $US 160, so ~$AUD 212 not including shipping...damn these seekers are pricey.

Drifand kindly ordered one for me through Takara Tomy Mall and I'm expecting it to be in the same range. Less accessories, but I hear the paint job looks pretty good. I guess the piece is really there for the completionists, i.e. me :(

A bit of gamble as tenso charge us the shipping might end up significantly higher or depends on the currency in November. Part of me says rk is cheaper at this stage when the shipping cost is lower but sw is more than TT mall.

Not overly fussed as it should end up $260-$280 maxed. It's overpriced for a seeker but I prefer TT paint job over hasbro.

For sure!

Just added it for interest rather than as a viable option.

The frustration is I only paid $235 for thundercracker last year but no thanks to the Aussie dollar against the jpy at this stage.

Any particular special reason? Why update fb with news but skip skywarp?
I think is rather silly.

That's exactly what I said on one of the PC threads. I can't remember which one.

But yeah as Philby said, they obviously want to expand on followers using as many social media platforms as possible.

What I DONT get is the reduction bit you expand to one but you throw your fb followers aside? I hope they don't have the habit of asking snap chat tinder next.

[Ralph Wiggum]

Doesn't running a business page, or at least reaching out to the full audience on Facebook require some form of payment? That was my impression speaking to some family members who ran professional pages on Facebook.

I'm of the belief that Instagram has not been monetised yet...maybe PC are aiming to shift users over to Instagram to minimise costs?

Either way I'm damn impressed PC can get their price on par, if not lower than TT Mall itself. But there's going to be a real scramble to obtain one, and I don't like paying 100% upfront personally.

Should I continue waiting to see if hasbro makes their own mp to complete the hasbro mp11 set?

Otherwise who's the cheapest overall other than pc (due to it being out of stock)
