Perhaps RK has found some more stock from somewhere?
The MP10 reissue came out October 24th... so I wonder if these ones come with the bonus Vector Sigma as well.
bbts just threw up theirs too :)Quote:

Hmmm, looks like it might be a TakaraTomy (black box) release which will filter through Hasbro HK... and the October (clear box) reissue was just by Hasbro HK, making this one a double hit to the HK markets.
Then again, MP Grimlock was a triple hit to the HK markets last year, with the Hasbro US version coming out 6 months after the Hasbro HK reissue... and then they also had the Comic Book reissue as well in the same year.
Woohooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Quote:

sweet! this should be the regular takara version right? i prefer the colours a bit to the hasbro one so happy this has come about. pre-ordered on tfidownunder.
Pardon my ignorance. Is the Takara Optimus toy different to the Hasbro?
roller is silver instead of blue.
the box is full cardboard.
the reds and blues on prime are more toon accurate while hasbro is more 80s toy accurate
Woohooooooooooo!!!!Quote:

Takara doesn't have paint apps on the running lights, Hasbro does.
Really it comes down to what scheme you prefer. I'm more than happy with my Hasbro version, but can see why others prefer Takara.
Since Japanese retailers have this listed it must be an actual Takara reissue and not the normal Hasbro HK reissue of Takara Tomy product.
Remember the rumour last year that said Takara would reissue MP-10 and some other MP's? I wonder if that rumor might be panning out despite the initial scepticism of it.
Since I need a MP-10 Matrix for MP-22 and I passed on a cheap Hasbro MP-10 with Vector Sigma and I'm not taking my Matrix out of my existing MP-10 (cause principles) I might consider getting this reissue if I can get him cheap enough. Then I'd have a MP-10 to display as a TRUKK!:p
Amiami preorder is up:
Amiami MP10
Ordered HLJ. So the RUMOURS last year was correct but it was dismissed as a hoax?
There are the box collector Trent. lol you know.....it must be this box art and sealed...you get the drift.Quote:

Yeah the rumours was SHOT down, you wonder who gave that info. This means mp11, red alert, and the rest will come in "possibly"Quote:

One thing though, my wallet is already dented before May, this is real bad.
AE is cheapest followed by NY and amiami.
You are spoiled for choice to be honest and silly if you going to order last minute to find it all sold out if you haven't gotten a mp 10.
IMO I like the red on takara better but the head is better on hasbro.
I find mp10 riffle is too short and they shouldn't have made it foldable gimmick as it doesn't look right. I have thought the riffle was stored in the trailer.
Could be wrong just my thoughts only.
Oh no... another MP-10 I MUST have. My poor husband is going to be shaking his head.
I really like the red on this one... almost enough to keep it in truck mode if it is indeed that colour on the finished product.
One can never have too many red trucks right?
TakaraTomy (black box) version...

- Verses -
Hasbro (clear box) version, which was also the recent HK reissue...
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/tftoys/excl2012a38.jpg
(yes, the official images for the Hasbro Optimus has a mis-transformed cab :rolleyes: )
The blue is different, and Roller is a different colour.... but the red is actually the same on both.
I'm interested in getting the box and bio card if there's anyone who doesnt want them or has a spare?
I believe the red is brighter on hasbro as rocketpunch army YouTube has shown.
Takara version was g1 toy accurate colours and hasbro was cartoon accurate.
So there is a different red so to speak. Even yoth version is darker.

Above link is a quick comparison.
The grey is also darker on takara.
Why not get both & be done with it. ;)
After all it will be another 12 months or so before they reissue it again & again & again ....
Yup I am doing that.Quote:

Needless to say he was selling his at over $450 on eBay .
I am almost certain there will be a tru version this year by seeing how it is going. Then again what is Tru going to do? Import and sell this piece at $320?
Is noticeably more expensive than Magnus .
Pretty sure sideswipe will be release again.
I sure hope so! Cheapest I've seen it anywhere is $100!Quote:

A bit slow though, they gave the ko a chance.
The situation was so bad that I almost purchased one as the yoth will not do it for me .
They should have release it about 3 months back.
the YOTH was excellent imo
i actually did give up on getting an mp10 due to the soaring prices. Even passed on the hasbro hk reissue as that version didnt do it for me either (and yoth did lol).
I guess it would be nice if they added the blue windows on the takara version. I dont mind that at all.
gives a chance to the guys who already own and mp10 to get another mp10 with blue windows :p
I bought one of the Hasbro Reissues w/Vector Sigma because I thought it was my only chance to grab a MP-10 mold for a reasonable price. I haven't opened it yet as I don't particularly like the overly bright Hasbro colour scheme so will be looking to offload it to fund a TT MP-10 purchase.
You find that the TT one has a bad optimus eyes and headlights not painted and not very great either. I have opened and displayed the Hasbro version in my cabinet and it blends fine with the TT cars. Its very similar to people loving the current Magnus and some prefer the light blue version. Is funny to think of it as I would think TT would went light blue on the Magnus and Hasbro may have done the current colour scheme.Quote:

I wished TT DID something to correct the eyes as their MP-1 was great. I don't see why they changed it. But either way I wont be off loading either one of the mp-10. The Hasbro was by luck it got reissued, Hasbro record of reissuing mps were nearly next to zero whereas TT do reissue theirs from time to time whether it is done by Hasbro Asia or TT themselves.
The other thing I like to add is this Hasbro version has all solid joints unlike what was mentioned in the rocketpunch army video saying his has loose joints at the feet and arms and many call it the deal breaker. The news is this is better than before.
Very happy that this it happening - TT MP-10 has been right at the top of my list for some time! May is still a long time away though and I really hope tfidownunder don't bugger up my preorder like they did with Magnus.
That is my worry for you. They have one of the best priced mp-10 I have to admit, won HLJ in shipping. Because if they bugger up, mp-10 is a deal breaker for some and can really piss people off. I hope TFI dont screw up.Quote:

Oh hi Evan! Sorry I really could have worded that better but yes I do believe that it was a mistake made by your supplier, which is why I'm again going with TFI and hoping the same thing doesn't happen again :)Quote:

I only got into the Masterpiece game fairly recently (Lego Modular/UCS is an equally expensive hobby :(), so missed out on the MP-10. I've steadily been picking up these figures online the past 12 months as the prices for MP figures has somewhat stabilised, that is... except MP-10.
Couldn't stomach paying $400 for one on eBay but did get a 'Year of the Horse' version. The robot itself is very nice even if not in G1 colours, but that trailer is ghastly. Was seriously considering a dismantling and repaint but thankfully found out about the May release. Thanks, Ozformers!
just put my preorder in with TFI to give a local guy some support (normally order through AE). Been wanting one of these MP10's for ages and my birthday is in May as well so i hopefully no delays!
