MP Grimlock and Alternity Megatron???

[Adzma]

If it really is true and we are getting an MP Grimmy, I don't care if our dollar is buying 20 US cents, I'm getting him post-haste!

MP Grimlock? For the cost they're quoting, I don't care if they're putting their backsides into it so that it's sturdier than MP05

With any luck by the time these guys are released the dollar will be on the up again.

As for Grimlocks price it all depends on what they give me for that price, previous MP's while exspensive have all been satisfying for me, and as such I'd rate thier value over the equivelant amount of smaller TF's I could buy. The workmanship and detail on the MP and BT line makes me feel like I'm getting value for my money even though they are exspensive, something I don't get as much when I buy larger TF's from the general lines.

Both great rumors! The future is looking good!

Wouldn't bother me one bit what the exchange rate is, if it was for MP Grimlock, I'd pay anything... within reason of course haha

I think it would be more expensive because there isn't really any recolour potential to it that would be marketable enough to sell as an additional MP. So maybe they plan on charging more to get the most profit from the single release of it.

BBTS.com has a preorder up for Masterpiece Grimlock.

Price is US$149.99

For that much I wouldn't want to be ordering more than one.


Preorders are also up for the Alternity Megatrons.

Alternity A-02 Nissan Fair Lady Z Megatron - Blue

Alternity A-02 Nissan Fair Lady Z Megatron - Silver

Henkei Dinobot too.

I am hyped for Masterpiece Grimlock!

They are saying that it will be the largest of the Masterpiece figures and much bulkier. That is why there is a price increase.

I can't wait and hoping that they go for an IDW style interpretation that 'modernizes' the T-Rex mode but keeps the robot mode similar to G1.

Ep...ic... I can't believe Takara are really going to do it, there was always room in my mind to expect an MP Grimmers would be as likely as a G1 reissue ( sad face) but it's actually for real. As for die-cast... I'm not too fussed. If the previous releases in the line have taught as anything it's that using less of it seems to be the standard now. I guess it's because so many people complained that MP Prime had balance issues since he was top heavy, and that's something I don't want for Grimlock. Maybe a little in the legs would be good, but not 99% plastic like Screamer, that was a bit too cut back.

EDIT: RK have also added MP Grimmers as a pre-order at $119.90 US. Happy face!

I wouldn't put it beyond them to recolour it as G2 Grimock, assuming of course that its going to Transform into a Dino and not some car in the first place.
