MP Grimlock and Alternity Megatron???

[griffin]

*Rumours* are circulating out of Singapore of the possibility of a Masterpiece Grimlock and Alternity Megatron for around March next year.
Please note that these are only rumours at this stage, but worth a bit of discussion or excitement.
(this was kinda mentioned in another topic, but not many would have seen it, so am posting it here)

Masterpiece Dinobots should look in scale with the BT/ALTs according to the original cartoon and some comic issues (their robot modes were often drawn huge to match the size of their alt modes, avoiding the whole mass-shifting thing).

The rumour mill says Grimmy will be roughly 13,000 Yen = currently $180 AUD

That's pretty steep for just one figure! (Does anyone remember how much MP-04 was originally?)

[kup]

I am hyped about MP Grimlock but fearful of the final cost given the low strength of the AU dollar and the Yen seen as a 'safe' currency!

At least I will not pay as much as the poor sap who bough the MP Skywarp for $300 at the Parra Fair.

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!

[STL]

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

[Lord_Zed]

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.

[Zippo]

Both great rumors! The future is looking good!

[jacksplatt11]

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

[griffin]

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.
