    Yeah I'd agree here , let's not forget either that Ghostscream was imported from Takara via Hasbro
    Hasbro, of whom, would've tacked on their own little fee before TRU bought the stock.

    And it was fairly easy to find online for $100 shipped. I really like the ghost SS concept and happily purchased 1 or 2 from tru for around $60 when they were on clearance. Even MP-04 was clearanced from target for $100... The customer base just isn't that big here.

    Thing is though, MP-04 and Ghostscream were released prior to the '07 Movie weren't they? - I reckon, since, the movies have definitely expanded the market locally since then.

    $100!!! Lucky bugger! - I paid for mine via LayBy at $250!, given, I did grab it as soon as they showed up on shelves.

    Nah, check out my join date... That first movie pulled me in. I brought MP-04 the day it came out for $200... I'm sure it went under $100 but that's what I saw it go for.

    Bloody oath!, I reckon we can all foresee the s***-storm that'll occur with him though.
    (Let's hope the lessons of MP-10, Soundwave & Acidstorm have sunken into TRU management by then )

    I'll probably just go with importing Takara's release however and avoid all the pain.

    No way! - It went that friggin' low!
    I suppose, though, Target did order a metric f***-tone of them - I remember seeing just a wall of MP-04s, on top of and, stretching the entire length of the capping at Shellharbour's store, was certainly a sight to be beheld.

    That's a great price, and it's the reason why masterpiece transformers only succeed as superlimitedexclusives in this country.

    or

    It was before my time... But I'm pretty sure MP-02 had to be clearanced also. Despite his icon status, Ultra Magnus was portrayed as a very poor character, might be a hard sell at around $200 (depending on the Au$).
