MP's Prowl, Smokescreen & Bluestreak released by HASBRO?

[TazD]

Hi, Just wanted to know if I should purchase the 3 MP's Prowl, Smokescreen and Bluestreak by Takara, as I would be assuming that Hasbro's version would be cheaper, therefore wait for their release??? Thanks.

A Hasbro release is uncertain at the moment and the precendent set by the MP Sideswipe mold doesn't look good. So I would recommend getting the Takara versions.

What Lint said. It's not looking likely that hasbro will release them. Personally I'd err on side of caution and get em. Which I have them on order already lol. Aftermarket prices are beyonda joke.

Get them now while they're at a reasonable price.

what they all said, it's not looking likely that all if any of them will be released by Hasbro. There has been no news of it happening at all. even for the sideswipe/red alert mold.

^This. You can get 'em for about $50~60ish at preorder prices. I doubt a Hasbro release would be much cheaper than that (at least not at first; unless the toy shelfwarms and they slash prices). Up to you - but if you'd rather not take the risk then I'd advise preordering a TakTOM version. The TakTOM MPs are overpriced (IMHO) and not worth paying full RRP for, so preordering gives you the advantage of getting them at below RRP.

If you asked a few days ago I would have pointed you to HLJ to get them. They reopened orders on Saturday for them at around AU$50, sold out now. Best bet is probably RK now at around AU$66.

Yeah I live in a constant state of uncertainty about MP Red Alert. On the one hand I didn't think after getting MP Sideswipe that the figure was worth the price I was paying so didn't get Red. But on the other hand I wanted him and now if I want to get him I'd have to pay at least $30 more than I paid for Sideswipe. So if you want them, grab'em because they will be more expensive later on

I can relate with what you've said about Red. I wish that i'd picked up an MISB Nucleon Quest Convoy when i had the opportunity to do so at a good price.
