TrU Masterpiece Prowl code & price

[UltraMarginal]

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.

This just got interesting

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)

Maybe it's going to be in a plastic box for all to see the car/ robot mode? So exciting

[Bumbleb33]

Well there were rumours that TRU was going to release MP Sideswipe as well. From that I suspected in order to increase shelf appeal pairing Sideswipe and Prowl together would be a good option since they are the most prominent characters from the options derived of that mould.

$100 for one, no thank you.

$100 for two, hells bells, Yes! I've already got a Prowl but that would be an awesome price and way to get one of each mode with a bonus Smokescreen.

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