I also find that my MP1 has better chest alignment than my Hasbro MP10. IMHO MP1 is the superior figure, but MP10 is the better play set.

They are forgetting how solid mp-1 is. I swear if you reversed the release people will scream more for mp-1 any day .
It's not just that, MP1 is just packed with waaay more features than MP10.

Put it this way, the pre-order price for an MP car can be approx. equivalent to the cost of a full sized Voyager Class figure in Australia. IMHO if I were to compare any MP car with any of the TFP or AoE Voyagers in terms of value for money, the MP cars would win every time.

So yeah, IMO the new MPs are worth it at pre-order prices, but I find them harder to justify at full RRP. Local TRU prices are just expensive. I went to TRU Parramatta today and they still have MP Prowls massively shelf-warming (as well as Sunstorm and Grimlock). But having said that, the TRU prices are okay for those who missed out on getting the TakaraTOMY release. The cars seemed to be priced at the aftermarket price for the Japanese versions, so TRU's prices are okay in that regard.

We don't know if Hasbro will be able to use the Volkswagen licence, and even if they were, whether they would still go ahead and release it; after all, Hasbro appears to have regained the Lamborghini licence (as evidenced by Age of Extinction Lockdown toys), but there's been no news (AFAIK) about Hasbro releasing MP Sideswipe or Red Alert.
