MP-11SW Skywarp

[drifand]

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, 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.

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.

We have no idea on the number created but this (although crazy) could be a fairly short run. nexusnixx is reporting limited access to these (http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showthread.php?t=19698) from his source.

Not too sure why the supply is limited? to artificially created a "jump" in pricing due to lack of supply...

hopefully it comes with some gift on the side to sweeten the deal.

Robot Kingdom also now have him for $169.99 plus shipping. I presume RK have cheaper shipping.

It just seems so...over priced. For a Seeker mould? Nearly $200 I've heard. That's crazy. They need more than just Dr Arkaville clone and stand to be worth it. That's like third party prices so depressing... double
