TrU Masterpiece Prowl code & price

Well there were rumours that TRU was going to release MP Sideswipe as well. From that I suspected in order to increase shelf appeal pairing Sideswipe and Prowl together would be a good option since they are the most prominent characters from the options derived of that mould.

$100 for one, no thank you.

$100 for two, hells bells, Yes! I've already got a Prowl but that would be an awesome price and way to get one of each mode with a bonus Smokescreen.

If true, I would really like to see how it will be packaged, I would love for Prowl & Streak to be in vehicle mode.

I be surprised if it comes in doubles especially for masterpiece. The reason why I might still support TRU is the possibly of a mp-10 release is bound to happen as what I can see Grimlock is released. The YOTH version might just give Hasbro to do a mp release of the mp-10 in another hasbro mp launch.

Definitely interesting as I missed Red Alert.

2 packs would be definitely worth the hundred, can't break that much for one car. Prowl and Sideswipe, Bluestreak and Red Alert, Smokescreen and some other deco of SS. They'll probably brand a yellow one as Sunstreaker, honestly. :p:rolleyes:

I'd be down with this. Hope we get some more cars here.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if that was the price for just Prowl alone. Of course, there are other factors such as the strength of the AUD at the time of purchase, TrU % mark-ups etc.
If the rumours are true & it is a two-pack, then the price is more than justifiable. Looking at recent MP releases RRP's compared to our US counterparts

MP Optimus Prime
$100 USD vs $150 AUD
MP Soundwave
$120 USD vs $150 AUD
MP Acid Storm
$75 USD vs $100 AUD
MP Prowl (list price)
$60 USD vs $100 AUD
MP Sunstorm (list price)
$75 USD vs ? i assume it'll be around the $125 range, based on Prowl's pricing.

Pricing sounds about right, I pretty much think is going to be single release. Depending on stock levels it may not sell if they bring in too many as many have went Takara Tomy already.
