    This is too expensive for a figure this size. I am sure that the paint finish will be very nice and far superior to Hasbro's eventual release but I don't think the price justifies what is essentially a Binaltech figure without the die cast.

    I don't like the direction that Tomy is taking.
    BBTS price is just an estimate isn't it? They don't know how much it's gonna cost so theyre pricing it similar to the last MP (MP11). I assume that that price will change as it gets closer to the release date and they get more info from TT. I highly doubt it will be priced at $159. Either way, my decision on whether to buy this or not will be based on a hasbro/TRU release locally and that price. I'm through paying twice as much for Takara releases.

    Keep calm until we have facts. Then you can panic.

    Normally BBTS pricing is around the actual online store cost of the figure give our take $10.

    Nah that's just BBTS' early listing price. Look at MP-11S Sunstorm - they had him listed for preorder @ $249.99US, but that went down to $179.99US when it was actually released.

    [edit] When they find out from TT how much it's gona retail for, they'll readjust their price accordingly

    From the BBTS listing -

    "Please Note The current $159.99 price for Sideswipe is an estimate from BBTS, we anticipate the actual retail price will be lower. Once official pricing is confirmed, we will adjust to final pricing."

    Hoping it's Soundwave, he was on their "to-do" list. Doubt it's Shockwave without the laser arm.

    Lambor looks kinda crap..
    Which brings us to where we are today...

    The head seems wrong for Galvatron.

    Certainly a long way from what the MP line was originally, As long as the price point reflects the smaller size and cheaper materials I can live with it but I don't get as excited about the MP line like I used to. I do still enjoy seeing what figures will be released but don't make the effort to buy these straight away anymore.

    As much as I want a mp soundwave that silhouette just feels like shockwave to me.

    Lambor looks good and I'm still happy with it as the next mp figure
