Hasbro Masterpiece MP-02 Soundwave Taiwan Reissue

[drifand]

Order just would not go through last night, tried several PCs and an ipad...not sure what was up with that, whether it was an error on their end or mine.

Now it will progress my order to checkout, only to tell me they're sold out. Little pissy about that.

I pity you as I was on 3G one bar and managed to place the order even without refreshing. And I was already 30 minutes late. I thought there was no issues guess I was wrong.

Lately I have been looking at the aftermarket prices and couldn't justify $200-300.

Aftermarket prices for MPs suck, but that sounds about right. $200 isn't bad - that's how much I paid for my TakaraTOMY ones. But $300 is double the original RRP which is about right for an aftermarket MP price. I've only ever purchased an MP off the aftermarket once, and that was Red Alert for $100, which is double what I would've paid if I'd pre-ordered him. So yeah, paying $100 for MP Alert was the equivalent of paying $300 for an MP Hasbro Soundwave. And they're reissuing Red Alert (albeit in variant colours), but I didn't know at the time. That'll learns me for not following my own rule on getting toys early!

I did cut a bit but it has no effect to the face of the head. They glued one of the plastic pegs but not difficult with a sharp blade.
