No idea on release date but damn does it look nice. Sure to be mighty expensive.

Another MP-10 repaint I will be skipping for price alone.

Edit, also it's MP-10K not C

My shitty eyesight, I couldn't make it out from the pic and thought it was a really close together BC haha. Could a mod change the Thread title please to reflect this.

[BruiseLee]

Wonder what price tag they would put on this. Seem to recall that PC did an auction for the red one which reached some exhorbitant figure. Are people over these Bape repaints or will this grey one pull at collectors to get them all?

[drifand]

40,000 jpy easy no need to look. Let's see any PC VIP members can say they reserved one for them I doubt it.

From memory I think PC sold the two MP-10Rs they had for around $850 each.

I can get it cheaper then . But was never into them.

[MayzaPrime]

I know the 'Bape' are exclusives but the price makes it a very easy miss...

$850+ is a lot of TF goodness...

[Megatran]

... and no trailer.

$700 if you do some homework but still crazy high for plastic.

Why no Coke or Pepsi mp-10? I would buy that actually.

True... :D still $700 is also a lot of TF goodness as well :p

A Coke or Pepsi MP would be very cool

[Sinnertwin]

Wow.
Did not see that coming.

[ampoldj]

Got excited thought it is about MP10B Reissue at first glance. Easy pass just being realistic financially :D

[Ralph Wiggum]

I'd rather spend that money on a 3P MP Omega Supreme...and still have money leftover for a Hot Toy or something.

Works out to be about $208 + scalpers tax of +/- $600.

[Raider]

Hey if someone can pick one up for me for $208 I will love them forever :p

Seriously though, if anyone knows a way to get this for an amount less than PC's probable asking price of $850, please PM me.

[dsphatlite]

I wonder if there is a record on how many times a mold can be used for an action figure. MP10 seems to keep going and going and going...

[Jetfire in the sky]

Bape's are a dead set rip off in the Western market.

[Shirokaze]

Will be in Tokyo on the 2nd, so I'll be trying my hand at this lottery if my mates let me bail out of the plans we've already made :p

[ZoonMaster5000]

I'm interested but I feel pricing will be the number one factor in whether I get one or not.

[griffin]

It looks more grey than black... which would give them the three colours to match their three Gen1 BAPE Convoys from a few years back.
It's kinda boring, so needs to be part of the collection of the three MP Convoys.
And even if you could get one at retail price, that's more expensive than the full trailer version... and I doubt too many people will open it up to play with it, as it would just be an investment piece at that price.

TRANSFORMERS MP CONVOY BAPE® BLACK CAMO VERSION
COLOR: BLACK ￥17,800 +TAX.
They don't seem to say how many they are selling, but must be a very very very small amount if they have a random drawing at just four stores, that wouldn't be enough units to cover everyone they could possibly fit in those four store at that one time in the morning.

Not that I'm interested but like all the other MP-10 repaints, I'm sure there'll be KO versions for those interested. With improvements! (no need to go for scalper prices $$$ )

I think the Classics Seeker mould would have that record as far as Transformers go.

[BruiseLee]

I think the Classics Seeker mould would have that record as far as Transformers go.

Also if you consider ROTF/DOTM Leader Optimus Prime to be essentially the same mould then this would be up there as well.

[drifand]

Kind of sad that the price isn't what it is and all international collectors are almost default in paying double the price .

And what makes it bad is there will be another one next year

[Ralph Wiggum]

Its a money making and publicity exercise, pure and simple. And considering how much these figures are going for on the market, it is clearly working. I eagerly await the turqoise version coming out next year.

[Tropisetron]

Its out in japan!

Looking like its selling for the sub$400 mark.

Should be able to get it posted to australia for $500 or less

[Keidatron]

I soooooo read the thread title wrong >_<

[laproblematique]

$700 seems very steep at P.C, while it can be had on Ebay for ~$550.

Really not sure about this one. :(

I was thinking the same thing. I wonder if the $699.95 is just a fake placeholder price.

[nsm034]

$650 po open. Can't justify buying one but even though I need it. lol

[Initial_G]

not a VIP so didn't see the price, but wow, that's crazy!

[DaptoDog]

I've just broken my no BAPE MP collecting rule and bought this on ebay for $500 shipped (used $20 discount code). Any more than that and I would have passed but at that price I thought it was worthwhile (especially since I paid more for MP-10 EVA). Will be part of my birthday present. :)

Wow great price.

[neongas]

By coincidence i was lucky enough to be in Tokyo when this was released. So I left my wife in the airbnb and lined up 3.5 hours to buy it. the price was 209aud after conversion.

then there's my thousand dollar air ticket lol.

have not opened it all yet.

Well that's fantastic, puts what I paid to shame! Since you didn't fly all the way there just for that I wouldn't count the $1,000 ticket. Your only real cost was your time. ;)

[DaptoDog]

NY just listed it for ~A$460 delivered by EMS. Haven't seen it anywhere cheaper, decided to grab another.

Think P.C will price match?

You can try but I doubt it. Their price match policy only pertains to Australian owned and operated stores.

NY are good though and you can also use PayPal for added protection.

Gee that is tempting... Might wait a bit and try and talk myself out of it

Will not last long as ny always raise prices very quickly.

[Megatran]

Now I understand the MP designation 10K. Expensive as hell it is.

[laproblematique]

P.C pulled their listing? Doesn't look like they were flying off the shelves at their marked up prices as they had intended.

Unless they sold them all? I've seen them say if they know for sure it won't be restocked they will take it off the website.

[MEEEGGGAAATTTRRROOONNN!!!]

Listing is still there, you just need to go to the TT category first as it's not on the front page anymore:

http://www.premiumcollectables.com.au/products/transformers-mp-convoy-bape-black-camo-version

It's just sold out -- I doubt they had a whole bunch to begin with.

I'd imagine they only had 3 or 4 like the mp-10r last year which i sadly missed out on

NY is now sold out so you saved yourself some money. ;)

Now back in stock.

Got the one I ordered from an ebay seller from Japan the other day. Can you believe it didn't come in a corrugated box? They just used a heap of bubblewrap. Thankfully there were no dents and it was single taped. However, the back of the packaging is slightly pressed in as if another heavy package was on top of it during shipping and the bubblewrap wasn't strong enough so support the weight. Messaged the seller letting them know for the cost of the item they should put in the box. Considering whether to give them neutral feedback since they haven't responded. Oh well, I know NY will package the one I ordered from them better.

One of the reasons why i'm still hesitant about buying from ebay my last big buy from there was a ACG-CON metroplex when it arrived the box was smashed to pieces, lucky the figure was ok.

Back In stock, hmm i'm still going to put it off for another week I'm just not convinced this would be financially wise decision this week.
