Iceburn finding 2 x MP04 at Melbourne's Target store for $200 each. This is the new MP exclusive that was mentioned by Hasbro at the ToyFair a few months ago.

It was supposed to be MP01. The Hasbro Marketting manager went off and 'confirmed' it as being the one *without* the trailer. Good I guess, if the price comes down a bit though. It's something recommended for those who don't yet have it.

And recommended thrice for those like me who already have it but are greedy little buggers.

When I am back in Sydney I am running to the nearest Target to lay by it! I have MP01 but he suffers from bad QC at the legs and has no trailer. I can pay a $200 MP-4 bit by bit, I just hope it doesn't dissapear to the scalpers like MP Starscream did before I can get to one.

It really says a lot about those Scalpers at the Parra fair selling them for like $550each

Indeed but what I found even more disturbing is that they were making sales at those sort of prices justifying the whole business side of it despite the dodgyness.

Went to my local Target today, but they had nothing!

I just hope it doesn't dissapear to the scalpers like MP Starscream did before I can get to one.

Damn right!

isnt mpo4 a bit old now?

I didn't consider collecting the MP series until Starscream appeared so a few others like me are probably behind the 8 ball on these!

A while ago I didn't think the opportunity to buy one locally would ever appear so no complaints about them flogging older stuff here (and helping us beat the ebay scalpers too )

Yes, but so was MP02 Ultra Magnus when Target got it a few years back. I think Takaratomy just weren't able to sell all of the MP04s due to the price and availability of Convoy/Optimus without trailer, and now offloading them here through Hasbro AUS.
