Yeah I'd agree here :), let's not forget either that Ghostscream was imported from Takara via Hasbro ;)
Hasbro, of whom, would've tacked on their own little fee before TRU bought the stock. :rolleyes:

And it was fairly easy to find online for $100 shipped. I really like the ghost SS concept and happily purchased 1 or 2 from tru for around $60 when they were on clearance. Even MP-04 was clearanced from target for $100... The customer base just isn't that big here.

Thing is though, MP-04 and Ghostscream were released prior to the '07 Movie weren't they? - I reckon, since, the movies have definitely expanded the market locally since then. ;):)

$100!!! :eek: Lucky bugger! :p - I paid for mine via LayBy at $250!, given, I did grab it as soon as they showed up on shelves. :D

Nah, check out my join date... That first movie pulled me in. I brought MP-04 the day it came out for $200... I'm sure it went under $100 but that's what I saw it go for.

Hopefully we get mp ultra magnus. Dunno about the cars due to licence agreements

Bloody oath!, I reckon we can all foresee the s***-storm that'll occur with him though. :p
(Let's hope the lessons of MP-10, Soundwave & Acidstorm have sunken into TRU management by then :o)

I'll probably just go with importing Takara's release however and avoid all the pain. ;)

No way! - It went that friggin' low! :eek:
I suppose, though, Target did order a metric f***-tone of them - I remember seeing just a wall of MP-04s, on top of and, stretching the entire length of the capping at Shellharbour's store, was certainly a sight to be beheld. :D

That's a great price, and it's the reason why masterpiece transformers only succeed as superlimitedexclusives in this country.

or

It was before my time... But I'm pretty sure MP-02 had to be clearanced also. Despite his icon status, Ultra Magnus was portrayed as a very poor character, might be a hard sell at around $200 (depending on the Au$).
