    wow, if that's the price, I would think its like buying from the US online stores.
    Thanks for the info. Its still great for people who have missed the runs entirely.

    Thats a big markup TRU has there, I paid $60 shipped from Japan for my Prowl. Other MP's Aussie price has always come in under what I paid for my Takara version. Surely the ROTW license for Nissan can't be that expensive.

    That is exactly what I was thinking.

    I'd suggest that that price might be a place holder but all of sinnertwins other early info like this has usually been pretty spot on.

    I am very curious to see what the packaging will look like.

    Further reasoning why I am done with TRU.

    In the rare case of a Masterpiece being cheaper, it's cut down, missing paint, or woefully distributed.

    I'd rather just spend the extra dollars on the Takara stuff. Quite a change from my stance before the MP-17/18/19 run.

    I thought it was rumoured this would be a Prowl/Bluestreak 2-pack? Would certainly make more sense at that price.

    I would be willing to believe that a 2-pack would be more likely to our western market as well... as a single figure on the shelf in either mode, wouldn't scream out as being anything special to those unfamiliar with the Masterpiece line.
    These might be aimed at collectors, but TRU (here and America) still prefer to cater to the regular shopper as well. (a bit of the reverse of the regular stuff, in which our (collectors) 10 or so percent of sales is still needed, but not the primary focus... the 10 or so percent of non-collector sales on these collector items is needed, but not their primary focus)

    If true, I would really like to see how it will be packaged, I would love for Prowl & Streak to be in vehicle mode.

    I be surprised if it comes in doubles especially for masterpiece. The reason why I might still support TRU is the possibly of a mp-10 release is bound to happen as what I can see Grimlock is released. The YOTH version might just give Hasbro to do a mp release of the mp-10 in another hasbro mp launch.

    Definitely interesting as I missed Red Alert.
