Will MP-04 Masterpiece Prime drop in price? Or will he remain at a highly expensive price??

Unfortunately dude, I don't see it getting any cheaper from this point.

The cheapest I've heard of it being is $150 a couple of years ago at Target, the normal eBay price is somewhere between $200 - $250 with overpriced examples from both eBay and Online retailers at $300 and above.
I think what is working against any form of price reduction is it's size and it's weight - added the size of the box and you've got a reasonably acceptable recipe for a normal asking price of circa $275 shipped.
If you can buy one sooner rather than later Skywarp?, I'd suggest doing so mate because after the next release of the mold, they're not going to offer it again, any time soon at least, so subsequently prices will likely inflate more.

I wish you luck dude as it's a pretty awesome figure and very much worth acquiring.

Thanks, looks like that's going to be my next holy grail!!

Are loose-mint MP04s expensive?

Have dreamwave or idw released the micromaster mini as a trade?

[snaketales]

It was scheduled to come out from Dreamwave but to the best of my knowledge has not appeared.
I think it was caught up in the 'authors not paid' controversy: the same reason vol3 of Dreamwave's G1 series hasn't been TPB'd. IIRC IDW would have to pay the authors/illustrators what Dreamwave owed them before these issues can be reprinted.

There is this but I wouldn't hold your breath

Can Predaking use any of the Predacons' swords?

Thanks, I thought it missed out on being released in trade but wasn't sure.
My predaking never had a problem holding any of the swords
