This is great news indeed.

Hopefully it's markedly more affordable than the Takara version.

Even though the finishing might not be as good as the Takara one, just getting my hands on one woudl be great.

i'm hoping they won't skimp on anything, like chrome, diecast etc

[Mixmaster]

Good news to me. I missed out on the Japanese one.

Did they die cast either of the seekers?

[GoktimusPrime]

Nope.

The pictures shown so far seem as if the quality is pretty decent. However I am not sure what TrU would charge for it...

Based on the prices for the TRU exclusive ultras, I'd say "a lot".

It wouldn't surprise in the slightest me (although I'd still be outraged) if it cost the same as importing a Japanese one.

*sigh* I would've imported a Japanese one, but the toy came out just before my daughter was due to be born so I wasn't in a position to splash out on an expensive Transformer that the time. C'est la vie.

I'm hopeful that this won't be the case with me as well as my wife is due to give birth in early October.

Just reported on TFW (rumour from a credible source ), apparently Canada will be getting MP Grimlock late April / early May... a lot sooner than anyone thought.

Here's hoping for an Australian release around the same time *fingers crossed*
