Hasbro Masterpiece Optimus Prime is now available for $120 + shipping from TRU USA, if it ships to Australia.
Damn, it was $99 when it first went up on their site.Quote:

Mp prime wont ship to oz from tru american website. Thought I'd test and as going through the purchase the shipping add won't let u choose anything other than the United States. Tru t&c say "most items ship international " Guess mp prime is not on the list.Quote:

Try calling TRU Head Office, explain to them how long you've been unsuccessfully trying to find this toy and ask if they can source the toy for you directly. Because they offered me this option when I contacted them about how much trouble I was having finding this toy.
Ask them if they are still getting in a November shipment (as they initially told me months ago), and see if they can say how many units they are getting, or if they can reserve one for you.
try TRU FB as well. That's how I got mine.
I got mine from TRU in Northland Victoria, lucky it's was the last one they have, then try else where but no luck, They still have lot of MP Thundercracker for $79.95.
My friend is looking to pick up the MP TC, when did you see the lot of MP TC?Quote:

I was going to call them but I couldn't be bothered to be honest - I already have the MP-04 masterpiece and I'm pretty happy with that. Went to TTP TRU and they removed the shelf tag for MP10 which suggests either of two things: it's a deleted line or that it won't be coming in for a while.
Does anyone know if we'll see a re-stock? Or is that it for Aus?
Apparently there were sightings in one of the Sydney store yesterday so I guess they are restocking for Xmas.Quote:

It seems that most states are getting plentiful amounts now. Won't be long until Vic stores are getting more, although I wish our TRUs were a little better in handling here. Still good news.:D
Cairns TRU had a couple of Optimus Primes, Rodimus and Thundercrackers.
OMG...TC sighted in Cairns...and the TRU sale is over :(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(
Ask the store to send some down to Brisbane...
Wife just got my MP Prime from Townsville TRU for my birthday. Items must have just arrived today because they got it from out the back and looked very casefresh. There was no price or space for them on the shelves.
I take it these things are loooooooong gone from shops around the lucky country?
Affirmative.
They were hard to come by in November.
Sorry man.
Best bet is to contact TRU head office and see if they can locate one for you.
Don't like your chances though.
TRU head office can't help, I'm afraid. There's barely any left, I think. Maybe like 2-3 in NSW or QLD but that's all, I think.
Join the club. :(
Thanks for the response.
I'm going to tell my self that either hasbro or takara will want to milk the mold as much as they can and we might get a new release in a few years time. It's taught me not to sleep on Masterpiece when I have the money to secure them at least. Sideswipe's part of that list too...
For anyone that is still hunting down MP Prime I located a small cache located at Toys R Us Bankstown NSW.
As of posting there should still be 4 left, they are hidden out the back, you just have to ask for them ;)
Or if anyone needs it I might be able to go on a small mission to acquire another, just shoot me a PM.
Darn. Got my hopes up.:( NSW.:mad::p
I was hoping to start my MP collection with Optimus but I haven't had any luck locating it in any Perth TRU :(
I think we had the one of the lowest release numbers across Australia not that's saying much as the release numbers were pretty abysmal in all states :(

Looks like Takara is up for another restock of MP10 -
Hopefully it'll bring secondary market's price down
Finger's crossed =o)Quote:

It's the Japanese version. It cost $300 in Japan. (you know, because it's Takara:p)
