    Default MP Transformers RRP at Australian Retail

    So this may already exist somewhere but to go along with other price databases I was thinking of making an MP only one for figures that were sold at Australian retail bricks and mortar stores, and perhaps with the recent rise of Premium Collectables add them in to the later releases of MP's with that postage may need to be added depending on item.
    Now some of these will require our old rusty brains to dig deep into the memory banks and we may have to discuss to confirm the prices of some of the figures, also add which store and if Hasbro or Tak/tom release, also is they went on clearance include that price as well.

    MP-01 Optimus Prime Target $159 ( I think) Hasbro first release with clear autobot symbol on the top of the box
    MP-03 Starscream Toyworld Hasbro $99 (?sale price)
    MP-03G Ghost Starscream TRU TAKTOM $249.99
    MP-09 Rodimus Prime TRU Hasbro $49 or $48 clearance price.

    etc etc
    I wont go too nuts on this with research and numbering older hasbro figures yet because it may already exist so please if anyone knows where that would be great, otherwise let the pricing begin

    I bought Takara MP-04 "Convoy Perfect Edition" for $200 at Target.
    Hasbro MP-10 was $140 at TRU.

    I think Hasbro starscreams were clearanced at $50 at some point, but you'd need someone else to confirm.

    Good start team, I will do more research now, but will need two people to collaborate prices if I can't find a direct reference.

    Some people are really good at keeping records. I'm not one of them, but I have some when I get into my logs. Can I suggest, to avoid confusion, you keep the lists of Hasbro/Tak MPs separate.

    Off the top of my head (and leaving out any I have doubts about) we definitely have had:

    Hasbro
    Optimus Prime (20th Anniversary) (Target)
    Optimus Prime (DVD version)
    Starscream (Toyworld)
    Grimlock (Toys R Us)
    Rodimus (Toys R Us)
    Optimus Prime (Mp10) (Toys R Us)
    Acid Storm (Toys R Us)
    Soundwave w/tapes (Toys R Us)
    YOTH Optimus Prime (Myer)
    YOTG Soundwave (Myer)


    Takara
    MP03 - Ultra Magnus (Target)
    MP04- Convoy (Target)
    MP12: Lambor (Toys R Us)
    MP21: Bumble (Toys R Us)
    MP21G: Bumble G2 Version
    MP24: Star Saber
    MP25: Tracks
    MP26: Road Rage

    I remember seeing Hasbro's MP3 Starscream at TRU just briefly before Xmas only to be completely sold out by the Xmas season and never saw it in stores again after that. So I definitely never saw it being discounted. I'm just glad that I bought one as soon as I saw it in stores.
