I managed to get that error somehow too by pressing the first brown button, still couldn't get the yellow add to cart button.

I'll keep trying for a bit. Otherwise it's just not meant to be.

Given that most sites (including this one) had people offering suggestions that it might have been remaining stock (ie: held aside for QC affected released product from the run) I don't think that attitude is really appropriate.

You have never experienced the CoTD in the past, that is why..

I see your CoTD and I raise you MattyCollector.com in the heyday for Masters of the Universe Classics figures.

Realistically, measured expectations were for very low stock allocations.

Pfft. Amateurs. Come back when you've been through a few Bandai Macross preorders. :p

But realistically, this was always going to end like this. No point getting upset about it.

My God :eek: Mattycollector during those Red screen of death days. What a friggin nightmare. Entire figures selling out in minutes, not hours. And what was worse was being here in Aus - you had to set your alarm for 3:30am, wake up, and have a heart attack trying to buy at the allotted time.

Sorry to sidetrack, but that just brought up some bad memories :o:D:eek:

Yes, I am. It was my first attempt to pre-order items in Takara Tomy Hall.

I feel like I am not going to try it again.. It would end up like this for sure.

In all fairness the initial release was not as hot. Same like mp-11t I was able to ask if anyone was interested.

They didn't just sell out within 5 minutes, but this is different.
Just keep this as an option when another exclusive such as dirge or something similar if your regular stores are sold out.

It's a toy. Perspective is required here.

Ok... I am still building up my collections.. I am not like those TF professionals who get the whole room or even the whole garage to store so many Transformers models that they can buy and sell them easily.

Also, the reason i buy them is because of the sentimental values in them. It represents more than a toy for me.. That is all.

Everyone has his/her own perspective.. So yours is not necessarily mine and vice versa. I also do not want to argue or discuss in terms of perspective.

Yeh it's a shame that those of us that went for it missed out. Would have looked nice in my masterpiece display. But I always knew it would be a long shot given how desirable that figure is combined with the crazy price it was going for on ebay. Hope those lucky few that are VIP's at PC that manage to secure one are happy with it. Nothing else left to be said on the matter.

Micfox, you were chasing a rare, hard to find item that is much sought after by fellow collectors, casual and hardcore. The market for TF Masterpieces is getting bigger. The TT website practically crashed. That was a sure sign that getting a figure would be tough.

It's disappointing for sure. But don't let this experiece sour your hobby of collecting Masterpieces in general. If you find yourself in a similar situation, I suggest bringing your expectations a little down to Earth. Your chances were slim. At least the TT website had the courtesy of stopping orders when stock ran out. Unlike a certaim TRU sale recently *cough* :D

Absolutely kick ass redeco. Two popular properties with die hard fans.

Glad I got mine for about $340 in December 2014 (from pre-orders in mid 2014?). As I recall, nexusnixx offered a further opportunity later that month (Dec 2014) for some stock at $400 a unit but from the thread it didn't seem as though anyone was interested.

Glad I bought one. Looks incredible on shelf.

It's because you can't have one. When I got mine there where plenty available. A lot of people where carrying on about the colours and how it was ugly. I ordered one anyway even though it was expensive for a masterpiece. Then it was sold out and you couldnt have it. So they wanted it

I still think it's ugly and don't want one and quite a few times I could of purchased. Guess it's just not for everybody

Hmm... I started to collect TF from middle of last year.. so I could not get the Eva prime when it was released (same for MP-11SW).. The after market price always hurts...
18th March 2016, 08:46 PM

I don't collect them only because they will start Eva 02,03 00 colours and you need to carry on what you started.

Nothing wrong with colour though is actually very well painted.

I didn't get one because I don't understand the link between EVA and Transformers? I reckon it is hideous :D

They made up some sort of fiction to justify it:

http://takaratomymall.jp/special/tfeva/story.html

Something about Starscream's ghost merging with an Angel and then Optimus scanning Unit-01 and getting a new body, thus justifying an over-priced repaint...

Everyone likes a good crossover, but let's face it: he's absolutely dwarfed by an Eva

Your eva at the fair converted my friend that didn't like it. But it was too late for him, at that point the value of the figure was deemed "too high" for him.

I'm a big eva fan and for them to do that is awesome! Means more to me then a bathing ape figure could ever do for me.

I hope they do another eva collab but this time NOT with the convoy mould...maybe mp-09/28 in eva 02 colours?

OMG! We NEED a Tranformers/Jaeger crossover. Give me a Masterpiece TF styled like Striker Eureka and I'd vomit rainbows from here to eternity!!!

Off topic but that giant robots chart with its strength stats and whatnot means crap all since something that large wouldn't be able to support itself anyway.
Gypsy danger would be a horrible failure.

Moving on ;)

What? Next you're gonna try to tell me that Gypsy smashing Otachi over the head with a cargo ship repeatedly isn't possible either!

Gee by that size scale Astrotrain should just transform and simply drop on Prime - job done
