    Oh yeah, Bummer to all those selling this at high prices. Pretty sure I am lucky not to spend $400 to get either Hasbro or Takara one, as you be now holding both for that price.

    One thing though, my wallet is already dented before May, this is real bad.

    AE is cheapest followed by NY and amiami.
    You are spoiled for choice to be honest and silly if you going to order last minute to find it all sold out if you haven't gotten a mp 10.

    IMO I like the red on takara better but the head is better on hasbro.

    I find mp10 riffle is too short and they shouldn't have made it foldable gimmick as it doesn't look right. I have thought the riffle was stored in the trailer.
    Could be wrong just my thoughts only.

    Oh no... another MP-10 I MUST have. My poor husband is going to be shaking his head.

    I really like the red on this one... almost enough to keep it in truck mode if it is indeed that colour on the finished product.

    One can never have too many red trucks right?

    TakaraTomy (black box) version...


    - Verses -

    Hasbro (clear box) version, which was also the recent HK reissue...

    (yes, the official images for the Hasbro Optimus has a mis-transformed cab )

    The blue is different, and Roller is a different colour.... but the red is actually the same on both.

    I believe the red is brighter on hasbro as rocketpunch army YouTube has shown.
    Takara version was g1 toy accurate colours and hasbro was cartoon accurate.

    So there is a different red so to speak. Even yoth version is darker.

    Above link is a quick comparison.
    The grey is also darker on takara.

    Why not get both & be done with it.

    After all it will be another 12 months or so before they reissue it again & again & again ....

    Yup I am doing that.
    Probably the only figure that I buy a few versions.

    Something tells me the rumours was shot down to protect current sellers on eBay though, I remembered I did asked one of the Taiwanese sellers and was almost immediately brushed off as this wasn't going to happen.
    Needless to say he was selling his at over $450 on eBay .

    I am almost certain there will be a tru version this year by seeing how it is going. Then again what is Tru going to do? Import and sell this piece at $320?
    Is noticeably more expensive than Magnus .

    Pretty sure sideswipe will be release again.
