You can tell they're really proud of this release, starting with the big unveiling and now things like this - and rightfully so! Rodimus here pretty much has 'Best toy of 2011' in the bag; frankly i'm starting to wonder how they could ever top it with future Masterpiece releases.

Best thing is, he comes out a day before my 30th birthday! I'm not the partying type, but i'll be having one with Rodimus for sure :)

Couldn't have said it better myself dude! ;):D
Truly, MP Rodimus is a thing of beauty, the engineering, look and feel of this figure is just so incredible and the Hotrod Alt mode! - what a realisation of the original character model that is! :eek::eek::eek:

Indeed, how they're going to top this is absolutely beyond me but if the Japanese Engineers have taught us anything, it is simply to wait and see! :cool:
Kurdt, I can't think of a better 30th Birthday present than this baby! - Ofcourse, perhaps an actual baby may top it?, marginly... ;):p

I'll need to get some serious toy room door locks before i even think about letting my wife convince me to have a baby :D

If they can make Blitzwing correctly that would top Rodimus.

Hmm... usually the wife is the one who has the baby... but hey, whatever works for you. So long as you don't mind the extreme cramps. ;)

My daughter frequently goes into my Transformers room and it's not a problem. She respects the toys and never touches them. She likes pointing at them and going "Da!!" - but she won't touch them unless I give one to her (I usually let her play with my PlaySkool Transformers).

My TF room door already has a lock, as it's a legal requirement under NSW law for any owners of gun Transformers anyway. :/

Same here... once my missus said, 'At least we won't have to worry about toys for the kids.' to which I promptly replied (in my best Mr. T voice), 'Wha'cha talkin' about woman? They ain't gonna get near my stuff.'


Relating to his child about when he got MP Rodimus
kurdt - 'And that was the happiest day of my life'
kid - 'What about when I was born daddy?'
kurdt - 'Not even close.'

:p

They're making a Masterpiece Blitzwing? :confused:

I dunno, if they can advance DotM Leader Optimus Prime from RotF Leader Prime as much again as RotF Prime was an advance over TF2007 Prime then he might have competition.

well no, not that i know of - but if they wanted to top MP Rodimus, they should.

i've seen quite a few custom MP Blitzwings but they all suffer from the same problem and that is the tank parts arent even hidden in jet mode - 'hey that looks cool! there's a tank attached to the bottom of that jet!

LEADER SHOCKWAVE MMM....

If MP Rodimus actually gets a local release, I am going to have to fight so much temptation not to pick it up. I'm not a huge fan of the character (in fact, I think he's a whinny beatch), but the engineering in this toy is amazing.

Same here. It's not a problem if you train them at an early age ;)


LEADER SHOCKWAVE MMM....

^ This :cool:

How do you plan on training your kids friends though! Who knows who they'll invite into your house!

Most high grade collector toys come with the above legal warnings regarding age recommendations and choking hazards.

If any kid under 15 touches my toys, I strangle them! It's the law. :cool:
