Posted by Paulbot on the board at its old server location:
It was supposed to be MP01. The Hasbro Marketting manager went off and 'confirmed' it as being the one *without* the trailer. Good I guess, if the price comes down a bit though. It's something recommended for those who don't yet have it.Quote:
Iceburn finding 2 x MP04 at Melbourne's Target store for $200 each. This is the new MP exclusive that was mentioned by Hasbro at the ToyFair a few months ago.
Look out Target here i come
And recommended thrice for those like me who already have it but are greedy little buggers. :pQuote:

It really says a lot about those Scalpers at the Parra fair selling them for like $550each

I didn't consider collecting the MP series until Starscream appeared :rolleyes: so a few others like me are probably behind the 8 ball on these!Quote:

Yes, but so was MP02 Ultra Magnus when Target got it a few years back. I think Takaratomy just weren't able to sell all of the MP04s due to the price and availability of Convoy/Optimus without trailer, and now offloading them here through Hasbro AUS.Quote:

use the product code and description and ask them to check their system
i hope u cashed up adulters buy lots of these toys so as to encourage mindless store lackey managers to release jap stuff again in the future
:)I thought you were going to buy them all Roller and give them out as presents to all the Ozformers because we have to put up with your momma jokes:p:D.Quote:

So it's the one with the trailer?

So, what's in the trailer?
Does it open up? Does it have Roller? Or the repair bay/gun robot thingy?
Yes. No. Yes. :pQuote:

Yeah, the trailer's pretty cool. I opened mine yesterday. Here's my 100,000 question:
Can I fit BTs in it? (still awaiting my first BTs)
:eek:No BT's, one of the best lines aound:eek:Quote:

But enough of that digression. Can you answer the question? ;)
:confused:I'm only guessing as I don't own MP-04 yet, willbe buying it when I find it on the shelf over here. I vaguely remember a picture of the trailer with some BT's parked in it but I think it was the fan released trailer and not the MP-04 trailer.

yes, you should be able to (although i haven't really tried it yet)
you can fit BTs in the trailer.
http://www.takaratomy.co.jp/products...s/mp/mp04.html shows Red Meister in MP04 amongst all the other stuff everyone's querying!
It still annoys me a bit that there is no Roller. Roller is critical to the Trailer!
Meh, I'm desensitised :pQuote:

An MP roller would be awesome but it isn't surprising that Takara didn't include it in MP4 - they didn't even bother with the trailer for MP1 :mad:
well a solid plactic Trailer .. The cardboard trailer MP01 came with was flimsy..Quote:

All the Masterpiece Optimus Prime moulds even the Magnus mould comes with an alt mode Megatron.
Hmmm I really just want the trailer...
jay confirming what Sifun said - Ive tried putting Nemesis Prime dodge ram in Pulse's Mp04 when he showed it to me, it fits.
+1 on the sentiments of no Roller. Well we could try to buy just a spare G1 roller and put him in hhehehe, he's suppose to be a small drone anyway... your right too small that may be pushing it:D:D
And I only want the cab. If you want to go halves liege (and can find one) let me know.Quote:

Ok, will do, Just hope theysell them here at Blacktown area AAANNDD the I get to it before them DAMN Scalpers do!
I'm only after the trailer too so if anyone in Melb wants to split let me know !
I hope they do keep em off the shelves until the sale then because I can't waste time going to Targets during exam period haha
edit: my mate who works at Target Box Hill toy section said they only got 4 in and he assumes they would all be gone because so many people have been asking about it :( If there's any left when he's in i'll get him to give me a buzz !
