Looks like 50000 yen per case of 2, so 25000 yen or around $300 AUD each. Seems to follow the Takara pricing trend; dinobot was $350 or something stupid yeah?!

Dinobot wasn't that bad, he was a bit pricier than MP-36 but his initial run didn't break $300 AUD.Quote:

A couple people have speculated that but the consensus appears to be that the case size is 2 units but the price quoted is for a single figure. If it is 25,000¥ each then that would be very reasonable. We should know soon either way.Quote:

First glimpse of price for Dinobot was individual cost then pieces per carton:Quote:

So it wouldn't surprise me if it were 50,000 yen per figure.
I really doubt the Japanese toy market could sustain that. When the inevitable Hasbro release is announce it will have to substantially drop in price for any major retailer to carry it.
A Playstation 4 Pro bundle costs about that much.
I suppose I should thank Takara for pricing me out of the MP game. I did need a reason to save money
:eek:
This may seem like an extreme reaction at this point, but at that price, I'm done with collecting MPs. Even with an assumed 30% discount (Amiami has that on BW Megs), including GST and shipping we would be looking at over $500 to land one. :rolleyes:
If it was $300 for an awesomely popular new character then yeah, but when its for version 3 of a character that most collectors already have, it just leaves a bad taste in the mouth.
It will probably be the best mold of MP Optimus, but if it wasn’t for the fact that I wasn’t collecting any other toyline I’d be a lot more hesitant to purchase.
There goes my left kidney...
