Reissue of Hasbro Masterpiece Optimus Prime

[drifand]

Speaking of which, there is no longer a confirmation on the takara reissue as that was false information.

There is a slim possibility that prime will be reissued just like the grimlock pattern here but i wouldn't hold my breath.

For those who didn't know, the ko version was reviewed to be pretty impressive with more detailed paint on the figure, however the no trailer bit is the down side.

It appears that this reissue they are speaking of is on Oct 15.
I would like to see which stores in hk will open their pre-order soon

I was telling the people at Hasbro at Toyfair that they should reissue this, as it was so popular that it would sell out again easily... so hopefully through their partnership with Hasbro HK, this is being done so that it is released here as well.


For a "one-off" premium concept that Masterpiece started out as (one or two per year), we are now getting one or two per month that are new or reissues.
For 2014, we have eight from Japan, five from Hong Kong, and four from Hasbro... a total of 17 in one year.

^ I hope they didn't think yoth version was good enough as to some people they look at it and say is the same thing.

Big question,

Who is interested?

I am in, regardless of the stupid prices, is a risk but I just want to get one and move on. I lost this battle for RRP.

There may be a chance it will appear on TRU exclusive, sometimes when you see things like this is like the factory went "why not?" lets release one at high price before TRU's is released.

Pass. It it was a Takara re-release, I'd be considering it for completion's sake, but I have my Hasbro MP Prime and the box shot in the link is definitely that one.

TRU have never re-issued an exclusive.

YAY!! This is some of the best news I've had in ages. I'm a bit concerned for the price though, being an Asian Exclusive. Hopefully he's under $200, which is about my limit.

I say $270 mark is what we may be lucky to get at what they done with grimlock at insane prices.

Can be a first since they reboot the numbers?

If it is indeed a straight reissue, old box & all, then it won't fit with their current packaging style.

As Mayza said, Hasbro may decide to reissue it under the new numbering & packaging for a worldwide rererelease
