I sent an e-mail to Tony asking about wether he can get Masterpiece Rodimus Prime either in the Takara or Hasbro/TRU version. This was his reply:

MP-09 many many problem . my set transform 1 time broken .

Hasbro verion very many qc broken .
i think u forgot it much better.

Is that true or does it just sound like he can't be bothered looking for it? A few weeks ago I did send him a couple of Facebook messages asking if he could find Masterpiece Thundercracker and he never responded...
