I hope it succeeds, and Hasbart gives us CHUG Raiden afterwards

That looks super awesome!

I'm afraid to ask what will the final number be in CAD?

We definitely need a CHUG Raiden.

About $200 CAD per limb, 6 limbs, so $1200 CAD before tax and shipping. Funny thing is, this scales a lot better with CHUG than MP (too small for MP, especially the individual bots).

I don't own any Masterpiece items at all. I did see one of these Trainbots at TFCon and it looked super cool. I'd be afraid to transform them at that price point.

Hoping for a CHUG version.

Yeah, I'd never purchase these as they're too small for that price. The 3rd Party version from Moon Studios is half the price and fits in better with MP. I'd like to see a CHUG version for the Trainbots as well.
