If you don't have any prior MP Prime releases, yeah it is a good one to start with.

The Japanese version of this mols is much nicer but very expensive. The Hasbro version is hard to call although it does have a lot of hasbro grey but it may turn out considerably cheaper.

The Japanese version definitely has gorgeous colours, but at nearly double* the cost of what the Hasbro one's slated to sell for here, even with an abundant amount of "Hasblo Grey" I would still consider the Hasbro version to be a fair deal. I can't justify paying for the TakTOM version (esp. when I already have MP01)... but I'm willing to pay $150 for MP10v2.0 ;)

-----------------------------------------------
*MP10 RRP = 23100JPY = $285... that's just for the toy alone; factor in postage and it'd easily cost $300(+).

RobotKingdom has them for $180.


Don't know how that will reflect on the retail price here, or how much RK has upped the price. Although I remember the Hasbro Grimlock from RK was cheaper than retail here- not sure about Rodimus.

That is still pretty expensive for a Hasbro release..

Interesting, $180AUD is what I paid for MP-10... Nine months ago. :rolleyes:

Yeah I can't say that I'll pay $180 for the Hasbro version. That's getting pretty expensive. Considering I already have MP-04.

We still don't know for sure if it'll be released in Oz yet do we??

I think so far we have had all the Hasbro MP releases so I can't see why we wouldn't get this one;):)

Well about a month ago I caved and bought the Jap version couldn't find the hasbro one locally so went for the expensive one and I'm glad that I did. Love the colours on it and the figure itself is absolutely brilliant!! The only complaint I have is the "dead eyes" which I fixed in about 10 mins ;)
