MP-11 - Masterpiece Starscream?

[liegeprime]

Wow MP line is dead then......it may come out with new molds, but a rehash is a rehash.... nothing new to inject the line just can it then, there's been a lot of suggestions, good ones at that, I see no reason why the people behind this subline just dont take a hint. There's the rest of the dinobots and Soundwave with cassettrons that have been discussed to death in various forums yet.

I mean it's not a line for kids at all anyways it's for the collector end market... so if this is all they can offer, and come up after that midget MP prime Rehash is this.... epic fail....

So... a $250 Starscream rehash to go with the $250 Optimus rehash, which was already over-priced.
I'm losing the love for the MP line real fast.
There was just so much potential too.
(then again, the first 7 MP figures were just 3 moulds, with an extra 4 ltd-ed decos, making it 11 MPs using the first 3 MP moulds - perhaps since the Convoy & Seeker moulds made more money than the other 3 moulds (Grim, Meg, Rod) Tomy are just going with what is a guaranteed seller)

Yeah... this is stupid. Give us new freakin' characters. Where's MP Time Warrior??

It got bought by Casio

Hmm, not sure what to think about this.

hursti is on fire with the news.

I currently have MP-04 Prime, 03 Scream, 08 Grimlock and 09 Rodimus.

After the problems with Rodimus and the resized Optimus, to hear they are doing a new mold of Starcream really just breaks my heart.

I for one really have no issues with Starscream's original mold except maybe his face. So I'm guessing they're going to shrink Starscream like they did prime and charge even more because this time it comes with the coronation accessories.

I'm really disappointed that the MP line is not really a 'Masterpiece' but more like 'Master Piece of crap...' in that it feels like we're just beta testing everything for them.

Us: Yes this toy is awesome! but this part and this part could use improvement.
Takara: Indeed, we'll make a revised version in a few months then.
Us: Wait, what?
Takara: It's okay, all your monies are belong to us.

lol so much hate considering no pics yet!
I want it cause i only have MP6 Skywarp and i'm loving MP10.
A Starscream that can stand in something other than straight up would be nice!
I get the feeling lots of people are pissed cause they have collectively spent a LOT more buying up all the variants previously...

But, there's some good news in there.....!
- The box is bigger than previous MP Seekers so probably at least the same size (why would they go smaller after making huge strides to get everything in robot scale?)
- The price is NOT $250!
It's retailing for 13,000Y, compared to 23,100Y for MP10.
Also pretty favourable with original seekers which were 10,290Y
- It's releasing in MARCH, ~6 months after MP10.
Faster MP releases yes please!

Oh man I got excited for a sec after seeing the thread title. There isn't much that's overly flawed with the first MP Starscream release to warrant this is there? The Hasbro version can be picked up for a meager $50. Even if this new mould is outstanding in comparison, you'd be hard pressed to find many collectors willing to shell out $250.

Major fizzler man.

...
Sigh

[Shirokaze]

What was that?

Oh, that's right! It's the sound of 90% of the fandom giving up on the MP line.

Thanks Takara Tomy.
