Bit of a haul today...

Botcon Rapido from Griffin (thanks boss! )

and henkei Grimlock, Mirage and Starscream from someone I met at Nexus for $25 apiece, which I thought was a good price.

Guzzle shouldnt be much of a problem, Pyro on the other hand, hmmmm good luck with that one.

Belated Skyshadow!!

Finally gave in and bought stunted MP grimy from Parra TRU, thanks to the sightings thread.... well the price I think is better than the overinflated pricing when it first came out so I bought one. aaaand I was able to transform it without looking at the instructions!! that was a surprisingly simple MP, pretty much the same as G1 actually.

The simple transformation was no surprise to me as I've transformed gamblor916's MP Grimlock before. You're right that it is very similar to the G1 toy's transformation too, which makes it the most simplistically engineered Masterpiece toy. Still, it is simple yet effective. But having said that, it really should've been a cheaper toy considering (even in Japan it was overpriced IMO). The price of the toy here is hideously overinflated, but it's cheaper than buying from an import store and the advantage of buying it from a shop is you can inspect the condition of the toy/packaging first hand and not worry about it being damaged in transit (or if it is it's your own damn fault ). Also if there's anything faulty with the toy it's easier for you to bring it back for a refund/exchange. But importing it would save a substantial amount of money - so there's pros and cons with either importing the toy or buying it locally.
