Masterpiece Convoy 3.0 Revealed

[kovert]

TLTC has him listed. $545 + shipping. However, there are those of us that have had issues with TLTC, so caveat emptor.

Has TLTC reduced their price to $544.99 ($545)? It was 'live' as early as Monday morning and seem to remember it was originally priced at $559.99 or $569.99. The dollar units ended with the number '9'. Anyone else see it on Monday?

The Optimus 3.0 shooting pose - could that be from the episode 'War Dawn'? There's a scene where he takes out a whole bunch of generic Decepticons without taking any damage*.

(*yes, that happens a lot throughout the series)

It's that part in the '86 movie where he transforms from truck mode and leaps into the air shooting Ramjet and a bunch of Decepticons.

So much for the cheaper Hasbro version.

From Tformers.com:

There has been much soul and wallet searching over the recent announcement of the MP-44 Optimus Ptims Version 3 for at a retail price of $440 USD. Arguably, there are many justifiable reasons for the price that have been gone over thoroughly elsewhere.

What some may have wondered, and hoped, was Hasbro would offer their own, more affordable MP-44 release stateside, as they have in the past with other Masterpiece releases. The answer is not good according to a new listing on Entertainment Earth. The USA will get theirs in November 2019 for a one cent lower price, at $439.99 USD.

Read on to see the full details and what we assume are Hasbro product images showing that the USA edition will likely be the exact same production as Takara Tomy's.

Sorry about that, we shouldn't assume that everyone knows the acronym.

I must admit that I didn't know either, but admittedly I'm the least knowledgeable person around about online shopping stuff.

I personally don't trust TLTC with preorders (but if you're happy to go with them then more power to you )

You are literally the first TF fan that I've encountered who doesn't seemingly have the entire 1986 movie memorised in their brain.

Very funny! The jumping pose is indeed in the movie.

However, the MP Convoy 3.0 shooting pose promo shot I was referring to is this one. It may take a few seconds to load.

I was referring to this scene in 'War Dawn'. The bit I'm referring to starts at 1:08 in the video.

So much for the cheaper Hasbro version.

From Tformers.com:

I don’t rely on hasbro nowadays, there is no word about sunstreaker even.

It seems to me that the Entertainment Earth listing is for the TakaraTOMY version, and they're just releasing it under the Hasbro section of their website since they don't have a Takara section.

Or they're getting it from Hasbro Asia

[DELTAprime]

It was mentioned some time ago on the US fan sites Hasbro US is supplying Entertainment Earth with Takara MPs. That probably means Hasbro US is buying from Takara or Hasbro Asia and then selling onto EE acting as a middleman.
