MP Laserwave/Shockwave revealed

[griffin]

Yeah, I would have preferred a dark purple colour like the toy had as well. I'm sure a Hasbro release will cater to it later next year.

Hasbro release? Probably not, as they seem to be struggling to get the US Retailer (ToysRUs) to commit to more than a couple each year.
Hasbro are doing 2 or 3 per year to TakaraTomy's 10-12 per year. And of the two Hasbro have released this year, one was a re-release, which means there are a lot of Japanese MPs that are probably never going to see a Hasbro release.

If not Hasbro, TakaraTomy Mall is a likely source of more toy-based Masterpiece repaints.

While what you said makes sense but there isn't anymore decepticon mp available other than Skywarp and Thundercracker their mp release would be just autobots.

I have no issues whether is darker or this colour. Just felt the decepticon logo could have been placed in the correct location.

The symbol on his chest only appears in one photo so it's likely a sticker. The symbols on his arms are probably stickers too, but could be tampo'd since they'd be on the underside if you have the hose on top.

If it's stickers then I think that solves everything. thought it look a bit weird but still fine for me.

Even though I still feel the colour is off (I understand that that the source material varies but he doesn't seem to match any of them) I think I'm going to pick this up, this line deserves the support.

After PC, Anime Export appears to be the best price but I've no idea about shipping, any posters here have any idea?

Wait for Nippon Yasan and thats a good place to estimate shipping just don't commit/confirm the order.

Nevermind,

And if you when eco air it ends up around $160Au no tracking so First run PC was better off for this piece.

Hot Rod is better off with NY, I should have known better.

NY has a picture of Hot rod next to Magnus.
