I whole-heartedly agree. It sucks that your typical Leader Class Transformer is sooooo not worth paying the standard RRP ($90-100) but they're marked up so high because of their electronic bells and whistles. :/ Give me a good Transformer with no electronics over that any time.
That's why I miss Beast Wars, where gimmicks added to the toy rather than were the toy. That said the gimmicks in previous MP's were mostly well implemented so hopefully Grimlock will be the same. The increase in price sux though.Quote:

Even though the RRP is ￥13,650, the street price seems to be fair bit lower.
Amiami for instance have it for only ￥10,633. To compare, they have MP7 for ￥8,179 and MP2 for ￥8,015 - the difference is not as pronounced as it looks on BBTS for example. They have MP08 for $144, and MP7/MP2 for $104.
A few retailers on Rakuten have it as low as ￥9,550.
The crappy exchange = pain though. :/
Yeah, and it looks like it's going to drop into 50 now. :mad:
MP Grimlock size comparison:

Damn, he is HUGE!
He has started to become more appealing but I am still annoyed at the outdated T-Rex mode :p
& the wait for colour pics continues... :rolleyes:
For me killing the rumor that he was going to be a midget is a big deal, perhaps greater than the colors since we already know what to expect on that since they can't divert from G1 and they are not Hasbro with an obsession with inappropriate neon colors.Quote:
