Yessssssss, wait what is the price point?

Happy that this is being reissued with fixes.
My only concern is what they'll be asking for this these days seeing that prices have gone up for most of the MPs.

I've never understood, with this toy being so maligned, disappointing and unwanted, why is the aftermarket price so amazingly high, even after the release of the new design MP hotrod.

Is because it was not reissued for a long period of time and it represent Rodimus not hot rod. The TRU "hot Rod" version was supposed to be better build but even then I know someone who broke a joint on that version. This was one of the worse MP till date but I know some people who love it.

I simply dont like it that I could not get him to hold his gun, or have him pose properly. Not to mention ver 1 have a bad backpack issue that it doesn't clip on.

The new hot rod on the other hand was a better overall figure, the only down side was that it hardly was able to roll in vehicle mode. Otherwise a better attempt. But it isn't Rodimus prime

Most masterpieces sky rocket in prices are only due to the fact that a reissue was not done for a long period of time.

Maybe so many were damaged/defective, it left very few on the secondary market for people to fight over, and thus drove up the price.

Because despite all that, it is still awesome. Yes, the ambition exceeded the execution but I still love it. And I have never had one of my 4 break.

Only purchased TRU Hotrod so I'm pretty keen to get my Rodimus on

I managed to get a v1 misb and that is how it will stay. But like everyone else I hope a mp-09b is done too

Maybe, but I've never noticed a shortage of overpriced ones on eBay, even when all the lunchtime specials were popping up they were way overpriced.

Can't argue with that, it was/is a very ambitious concept.
