I'm getting Lambor. Probably get Red Alert too. Undecided about Soundwave due to the high price tag. Considering waiting for Hasbro's version. I've already got Sunstorm on pre-order (does that count as a new MP? )

I'll be getting Sideswipe & Soundwave & Minions, but will skip Red Alert.

How'd you justify the cost for Sunstorm? You always bring up the issue of pricing going up, so i would have thought you'd be the last person to spend heaps on a redeco & remould MP!

i want them all, but Soundwave is priority. Should be able fit a red alert or sideswipe in too though. I thought the pic of them all together looked cool and i don't have an issue with the size anymore

[Tober]

Yes to all three. One Amazon set and possibly a retail set too... will see, unfortunately a few other Japanese premium toys are released around then too.

[ITZTRU]

definitely in for all three. Soundwave upon release 100%. Not sure when i'll pick up Sideswipe and Red Alert, but i'll get them eventually. Starscream is my fav G1 character and I still don't have MP11 yet. So maybe screamer first before Sideswipe and Red Alert for me.

Just Soundwave. If I enjoy him too much, Id prolly fork out for the rest....prolly

[gamblor916]

All three and all the inevitable recolours of Lambor...

I may have missed this piece of news, but is there definitely going to be a Hasbro Soundwave release? I don't want to pass on the TakTom one only to pay double or triple 12 months after release because Hasbro passed on the opportunity. It happens!

I never got MP11, so I don't currently own that mould. I couldn't justify to myself buying MP11 since I already own MP03 "Greenscream" and Hasbro TRU Starscream... don't need a third MP Starscream. But when I saw MP Sunstorm I figured that this is a whole new character that I don't already own in MP form, plus I don't have any other version of the MP11 mould -- part of me wants to own the MP11 mould, but I don't want another version of a character that I already have in MP form. Also, I'm not expecting Hasbro to release their own version of this toy later down the track... so I'm suspecting that a cheaper Hasbro version is unlikely (not impossible, but I'm not expecting it). Pricewise, MP Sunstorm's price is 13650JPY, which is the same RRP as MP11, which I do feel is very expensive for a MP Seeker (it's $40 more than what I paid for MP03), but considering that it's a limited exclusive, I find it acceptable (not great, but acceptable).

I was saying to The_Scream_Man yesterday, when talking about MP Soundwave... I've only ever paid above $200 for two Transformers -- and both of their names end with "Maximus." I'm really not sure if I'm willing to go the same distance for a Masterpiece.

I reckon there will be. Hasbro's released their own version of every other regular store-release MP that Takara's ever done, except for Megatron (for obvious reasons). I would be surprised if Hasbro didn't jump on the opportunity to release a version of Soundwave.
