Re: The Masterpiece Appreciation and Speculation Thread
I love the reissue and will most likely get the Hasbro release because I would like to pose Grimlock in both robot and alt mode with apron and serving tray.

Re: The Masterpiece Appreciation and Speculation Thread
I already have one in dino and one in robot mode (thanks to Tony from chimungmung.com for hooking me up). But I think I will still get the Hasbro re-issue if the price is right.

Re: The Masterpiece Appreciation and Speculation Thread
What do you think of the new style boxes? Ever since I started buying more Takara MPs, I've been preferring their boxes to the newer Hasbro MP boxes. I like having the pictures embossed onto the box. I'm already finding the flap on my Hasbro MP Soundwave is starting to fall apart. The red Grimlock box does look tempting though. I guess Sunstorm will also be similarly wrapped. He's definitely one I missed out on that I'll be picking up. I like how YOTH Prime was boxed with the window flap. Wish they did all MPs like that.

Re: The Masterpiece Appreciation and Speculation Thread
Definitely looking forward to Sunstorm and as for boxes, I wish they followed Takara-Tomy. I actually prefer their packaging, strangely enough. But for the Hasbro, I'm not a fan of the old MP boxes because of their odd shapes. It makes for difficult storing and stacking.

Re: The Masterpiece Appreciation and Speculation Thread
I like the Hasbro packaging because you can SEE the figure. I open mine, but store them in their packages on my shelves.
I wonder if Sideswipe is going to get a US treatment... he popped up in the computers for TRU a while back if I recall correctly, but then again both Sunstorm and Prowl have as well.
The smart thing to do is buy the cars from HLJ or Anime Export well in advance to get the cheapest rate. Get the cars early, probably a year before Hasbro, and for about the same price if the $59.99 price holds. Cheaper, actually.

Once they get around to a Jazz, then I will be joining the club.

So true man. I remember getting Hasbro Grimlock and Prime MP-10 out of package was a struggle. And yup the odd shapes make them hard to store/stack too, Grimlock especially. The new style boxes are much better for storing. But displaying is not as nice I agree.

Cant agree withyou more. Buy early, buy cheap. I forgot about that Prowl, Sideswipe rumour. I got my Prowl early from Nippon-Yasan. Sideswipe I had to go KO at the time.

So you don't own any MPs? A Jazz would be awesome. I guess Takara needs to negotiate a license with Porsche? He was a Porsche right?
