MP10 Ghostbusters Optimus Prime (SDCC excl)

[fatbot]

(edit by griffin - No pics yet ... just a retailer listing so far for some Chinese Exhibition exclusives - if true, this includes the other two Japanese Dino Cassettes, hopefully to be released by Hasbro as well)

Looks interesting...

[DaptoDog]

Lol, another MP Prime variant for my shelf. When will it stop?

[BigTransformerTrev]

Yeah, I dunno if this story is real of someone just photoshopped a Ghostbusters image onto a MP10 box

[FruitBuyer]

MP-10 is going down the path of Lego and doing crossovers with every brand in existence.

I look forward to my Woolworths MP-10

[drifand]

no idea why no pepsi and coke, they would have sold faster.

Lehman Brothers MP10 can’t be far away.

[philby]

haha wtf
will it come with the little guys done up in ghostbuster suits i wonder

[Paulbot]

I know we've had dead (black) Optimus Primes but have we had a transparent but tinted in regular colours plastic version of MP10 - like we've had of various Starscream toys.

Just thinking Convoy himself might be the Ghost!?

I was asking Bunnings ;)

[griffin]

Screw the MP redeco... :p ...if those listings are true, that will give us all four JP Dino cassettes. :D


I would have waited an eternity for this... ;)



It's too exciting to leave in the rumour topic.... for now.

[CHILENO20]

This is one redeco I have to get! :D:D:D

[Galvatran]

Is the rumour (ghost)busted with the announcement of Ectotron or whatever his name is?

That would send me broke.

[BigTransformerTrev]

.

I’m Wondering the same thing. Considering they are doing MP10’s based on designer sneakers you’d think that Prime with a Ghostbusters symbol on the trailer isn’t too far fetched, but I’m seeing images of Electron everywhere but none of this toy.

And anyone know if it’s still possible to buy the Dino cassettes anywhere?

[1AZRAEL1]

I need this for the other cassettes.

I'm willing to bank on a set of the cassettes being released by themselves at some stage in the not too distant future too.

I hope you are right. But I wrongly thought that they would end up releasing Quickswitch and Nautica independently and it never happened :(

One can hope. But I'll be trying to get this regardless. I can't resist cassettes

I just realised that these are listed as 2 different releases not together like the movie Bee/cassette packs.

My wallet can't afford all these damn repaints!

[BigTransformerTrev]

I’ll grab him if he comes with a Trailer with the Ghostbusters symbol on it

For what it's worth, someone in the know on TFW claims this is not the final deco having seen it. Apparently it is far more bland, not dissimilar to MP-711. But the trailer is meant to be very nice.

[ZoonMaster5000]

So if this one comes with a trailer I guess we can expect a much higher price point? Hopefully it comes with some ghostbuster accessories, all in all I quite like it

[Sinnertwin]

It does look a bit photoshoppy, doesn't it?
Still sucks to be an MP10 collector. Hee hee hee hee hee

[griffin]

Looks like its real then....

[Krayt]

Knew it was going to be SDCC :(:mad::(:mad:

[ampoldj]

Is that packaging a proton pack? :confused:

[BigTransformerTrev]

Is it? Oh bugger :(


Is that packaging a proton pack? :confused:

Yup, and Roller is a ghost trap which is an extra cool feature :D

[ampoldj]

Oh, those additional images now makes sense :p looking at the front of the box, i thought it was just the inner packaging at first glance.

[Paulbot]

A few people on twitter have pointed out that the colour scheme is similar to the Korean G2 Optimus Prime (http://artfire2000.chuckliuphotography.com/product/korean-oversize-g2-optimus-prime/) but whether that’s a deliberate homage is unknown.

[griffin]

So the extra details found in the last day (https://news.tfw2005.com/2019/04/26/transformers-x-crossover-mp-1gb-optimus-ecto-35-edition-extra-images-387501) (some were added to the previous link I posted up yesterday), say that it will be released (somewhere) on July 18th (that's the day that SDCC starts, so it looks like it might be an exclusive for there this year), for US$150.
As with most SDCC exclusives, it should end up being released in Asia as well, so keep an eye out for pre-orders or listings at your preferred (non-Japanese) Asian online stores.

[drifand]

This piece is more interesting than the 7/11, I felt the 7/11 was wasted.
Maybe we get a pepsi and coke version finally.

[philby]

This looks awesome haha!

[Lint]

More than just a cheap repaint, well done HasTak! Hope this effort continues for future exclusives

[BigTransformerTrev]

I hope the effort with the more reasonable price continues as well - this is actually looking decent value!

This is gonna be a real toss-up as to whether this stays MISB or not

[Omega Supreme]

This looks excellent! Might have to break the no more Optimus rule for this one.

[griffin]

The MP Optimus Ghostbusters toy was on display at a Columbian convention on the weekend, with some new photos (https://news.tfw2005.com/2019/06/02/transformers-x-ghostbusters-mp-10-optimus-prime-and-masterpiece-movie-mpm-08-megatron-on-display-at-comic-con-colombia-389214).

[Ozgardian]

Walked in to EB Games today, due tomorrow but now delayed until September.

Needs trap. No point catching ghost if can't contain it.

[Thurmus]

Have we heard whether EB Games is going to stock MP-10?

I was in one yesterday and it's not in their database, just the re-release of MP Soundwave

[DaptoDog]

Just put in a pre-order with Oh My Primus.

https://ohmyprimus.com/hmp10gec.html

It only just went up and they only have a few available. Cost more than I was expecting but given it's an SDCC exclusive I don't know if there will be a larger Asia release so didn't want to miss it.

Damn! I really want this, I mean I really want it. But at that price and with all the other big purchases on the horizon (Omega, Jetfire, Blackarachnia & Hound) I'm gonna have to pass :(

I hear ya! And it's gone. From memory the SDCC Devastator never got a general online retail release so I thought it's this or ebay scalpers.

[ZoonMaster5000]

I snapped one up through Robotoyz for $340 and I think that sold out in about half an hour.

I just like how well it displays without having to open it. Sometimes a cardboard box with a picture on it just doesn?t quite cut it.

[philby]

I missed the listing from robotoyz and oh my primus and so far other than eBay I haven't seen it anywhere else. Any other leads? I've been refreshing robot kingdom site constantly the last week 😆

[hYpNoS]

He's up on robotkingdom as of this moment if you can afford the shipping

What does it work out to in $AUD including shipping to Australia?

[philby]

Thanks, ordered!

[hYpNoS]

What does it work out to in $AUD including shipping to Australia?

Try this in google to get a general ballpark figure (not on the mark accurate but it works, round about 90%)

>(figure here)usd AUD <

This what I generally use when using RK and its shipping calculator and for any other site that uses foreign currency

If only the exchange rate wasn’t so bad I’d totally get this

[Sinnertwin]

Ballpark $340

[Autocon]

This is something i would love to get together with ectotron.

[ZoonMaster5000]

Couple that with cruddy import taxes I had a quick look and it was going to cost about $380 shipped

[DaptoDog]

No such taxes with RK.

[ZoonMaster5000]

I shall keep that in mind good sir, thanks

[DaptoDog]

I shall keep that in mind good sir, thanks

You're most welcome mate. I mostly order from them and Nippon-Yasan, who also do not collect GST. Robot Kingdom's exceptional service and reliability are hard to beat, especially now that their shipping rates for packages under 2kg have come right down.

[philby]

I think on the paypal screen when I was doing the check out it came to $354

[BigTransformerTrev]

No such taxes with RK.

I didn’t know they didn’t do GST, might have to swap over from being a BBTS customer

[DaptoDog]

Yes the issue with BBTS is you pay GST plus you're essentially paying for two sets of shipping (Asia to America and then America to Australia). The flipside is you don't have to pay upfront, can cancel orders and have a pile of loot so there are benefits too. However RK's new rate for packages under 2kg is so good it actually works out cheaper to send orders separately than consolidate into one big order (I recently ordered 2x FT Quietus separately).

You do pay upfront with RK, so for regular MP releases I usually order from Nippon-Yasan where they have pay later and you can combine pre orders not paid yet (though you can't cancel). So it's really horses for courses. :)

I'm guessing that's what they're counting on, but boy oh boy it's working.
