Masterpiece Grimlock to be re-released by Hasbro Asia

[GoktimusPrime]

Yep, but it's actually more like AU $215 .

+1 QFT! That's damn expensive. MP Grimlock was barely worth the $150 RRP it sold for here! IMO from a design/engineering perspective he's the most simplistically designed MP toy... that's not necessarily a bad thing per se, but whether people think it's actually worth paying $215 for, I dunno -- I'd recommend having a look at someone else's MP Grimlock IRL before deciding (try before you buy ).

Usually the Asia reissue come with a different paint job , so hopefully a chrome version more like the mp8x

If this rumour eventuates it'll definitely be good for all those who missed out the 1st time around ; However, that price is disgusting & is in no way reflective of the original RRP or (IMO) its real value - That is one part of this rumour that I hope doesn't manifest.
(Certainly makes me glad that I bought mine when I did from RK )

+$65 for chrome?

Wow... $220... seriously?! Glad I picked mine up when it first came out and even then I had second thoughts because of the price. Who am I kidding; he's Grimlock

[Shirokaze]

Rejoiced when I saw the thread title, cringed after reading the price I suppose if he's an improvement on the first version, then I may consider it.... but it'd have to be one hell of a paint app.....

This appears to be a trend for Hasbro Asia. They are reissuing TFs with a very high aftermarket value and setting their price very close to that 'value'. They did the same with Bruticus Maximus and their upcoming leader class movie Brawl.

Theyre simply playing the Supply and Demand game.

The rumor originator stated that it will be exactly the same as the Takara release.

Seriously guys, if you can find me a brand new MIB Masterpiece Grimlock for less than that ($220~) price more power to you, but it's not going to happen and that makes this a great price because aftermarket sucks massively for Transformers.
