MP-11SW Skywarp

[Defcon]

By giving Hasbro Asia the opportunity to do MP Skywarp, and also most likely a Thundercracker is in the works. Maybe its a sign, because TT has plenty of other releases lined up, and because of this, A theoretical release by TT, people would have to wait another full year? just my speculation. To me this is sound reasoning. I just think the price is unacceptable. With a Hasbro Asia release fans, can have it much sooner, and the demand is surely there.

i just think that it's a blatant money grab. There's no stand, crown, cape or coin, but they want $200 for it? Sorry, it's an exclusive, ooohhhhh...oh, wait, you get a dinky Megatron included.
It's not too bad for those that have the old Takara or Hasbro version & can do without, but i feel bad for the guys that've started collecting MP's recently & are forced to endure this sort of ridiculous price gouging.

Agreed. It's a budget release pretending to be a premium collectors item.

As much as i want TC and SW with my SS, Acidstorm and Sunstorm i wont be getting this.

Agreed, basically that's my view.

I don't want to slam it hard either as I might end up buying one.
But I do feel a bit short changed for what it is compared to a hasbro tru release.
Might be one of those where there is an eBay deal and I can buy it at more reasonable price like what I paid for mp-11/11s at under $150 delivered.

I dunno about waiting for a deal. Yes, it is overpriced. Yes, you get nothing with it. But a lot of people have been waiting for this for a long time. I reckon it'll sell well.

[drifand]

I would go for a thunder cracker. Pretty sure if hasbro tru ever comes out the sw it will be quite colour correct as it's black.

So of those who are purchasing this guy, where are you getting him from?

Ehobbybaseshop seems to have the best price ($169.99 USD) but adding in shipping it is still expensive. You are looking at around $230 AUD. Any other options?

I will wait for eBay sellers as I know some who may sell them cheaper maybe.
