I'd consider it just for the novelty of opening each pack and seeing what I got but then I'd have nowhere to put them all.

i sure did :) thats kind of how i also end up talking my self into ordering these things

So I am seeing the box and it says made in Vietnam and the typical Australia distribution. What is accurate here? None?
I thought all masterpieces are made in China ?

I think they're switching to Vietnam. I did a quick check and my MP-10B and Jetfire are both made in Vietnam and they're Takara and Hasbro releases respectively.

I think it's to combat the chinese workers that are using their molds to make the knock-offs. It won't be entirely successful but it'll make it a bit more difficult.

Anyone had the original to verify where the first issue were made?

I had someone telling me the mp-10B was bad quality from Takara and refused to get this reissue.

I previously had no interest in this mold since I had MP-01, but with all the Autobot cars coming out at the new scale, I finally caved and ordered the reissue from RK.

I had mp1 and 4, IMO they are still way better than mp 10.
I don't know what's the fuss about as the thumb is not mobile and you need to get KFC ones to make it look good. Thus is not perfect as such but is a piece in scale to the cars.

Chances of tru releasing will be high. But is a waiting game. This reissue isn't too costly unlike the takara ones at $300 to begin with.
I took it.
