So whos getting the new mp's??

[SkyWarp91]

I'm getting Sideswipe, Red-Alert and Soundwave. Kind of makes WInnebago Hot Rodimus feel left out as I still haven't got him yet :\

You won't pay that anyway.

BBTS has Sideswipe and Red Alert for $84US each, and Soundwave at $140.

Interesting... was that the price set before or after the increase? RK raised their pre-order price last week and with shipping the total is close to $200. My understanding is that BBTS charge you once the item is instock unlike RK which charges you when you complete the checkout process. Will be interesting to see if BBTS leave their price at $140 as it's $20 cheaper than RK.

Which means it will be quite troublesome if he doesn't, but Im with you on hoping he gets local release. I just hope there's enough to go around - you know, scalpers and all that. They surely passed up on MP Rodimus, prolly got wind of the QC issues, but, Soundwave on the other hand is another plate of gold altogether..... I just wish he aint so short...

I thought Hasbro's QC was improved over TakTOM's. Many of the flaws in that toy are inherent flaws of that mould's design (much like say the flaws in the MP Seekers, even after they improved it with better quality plastic). The only Hasbro MP that I've seen fly off shelves in Australia was Starscream. Grimlock would be the second best selling MP in Australia that I've seen.

Oops.

They have raised Soundwave.

He's now listed at $170, but on my pre-order page he's $160. So still not too shabby.

I'll get Soundwave for sure

Not so sure on Sideswipe and Red Alert

I finally got Rodimus only a few weeks ago, and still haven't got around to Grimlock yet... so may concentrate on pricing those first

I'm getting them all!

If the MP line continues this way, with regularity as well, this may be the sole TF line I collect from now on!
