MP-11 Starscream reissue from Hasbro HK

[theshape]

Just got mine.

Just got mine from ehobbybase (based off positive recommendations I read on this forum)... Very happy! He arrived quickly and is in perfect condition - I even got him $10 cheaper cos the box was "damaged" (barely noticeable!!)

[griffin]

Just to avoid confusion (since the online store uses a confusing name), since people are throwing around "ehobby" and "ehobbybase", it should be noted that the HK online store is at ehobbybaseshop for anyone looking for it. (note that it isn't in Japan, and has nothing to do with ehobby)

The reissue Starscream (which is by Hasbro HK not TakaraTomy) is on there for a hefty US$190, or US$180 if you don't mind a dented corner to the box. Otherwise, BBTS have it for US$200 if you prefer them.

(A mould that already paid for itself, is supposed to be cheaper when used again... not double the price - it's like Hasbro HK are preventing scalping by being the scalpers and pricing their items based on what they see it is going for on ebay)

Yes but they are trying to maximise their profits, if there is a market out there willing to pay that sort of money for this why wouldn't they charge those prices? I'm not part of that market and if this release was $100 I would probably think about it.

We've seen them do this with multiple different releases over the last few years and it's not just Hasbro HK.

Huhhhhhh.... still waiting for mine to arrive. Might have to send Laserbeak on a mission to track down my parcel.

I agree, If it was $100.00 like it should be I would have looked at buying this item even though I have the 2 previous MP Screamers

I noticed what appears to be 2 different boxes for MP-11 floating around the web.



and



Is the first picture simply the initial MP-11 issue? Apart from the box itself, are the contents identical?

Thanks

I don't think the second pic is a box but just a composition of images , I only seen only one type of box for mp11 , I got both the first and the reissue and they the same everything.. boxes and all
