Masterpiece preferences

[sachiel_ca]

So after long thinking and the announcement that MP-20 will be Wheeljack I've decided that it's time to sell off a bunch of my collection to fund all the upcoming MPs and get my Masterpiece collection back into shape and free up some space in the room at the same time.

That being said with Smokescreen, Prowl, and Bluestreak on the horizon if you had to choose one, which would it be. Or if your getting them all in which order would you want them. Just curious to see peoples preferences and why.

Thanks

I'd love to start off with Prowl, then Wheeljack followed up with Smokescreen and the Bluestreak and finished with (if possible) Red Alert and Sideswipe.

I'll be getting them as released, it's cheaper, none have dropped in price after release except sunstorm, but he's a niche character at best.

[Sureshot22]

Getting them all in order as they come out. I have them all except for black rodimus and I won't be getting him cause the first one was crappily made.

My question is can I afford 2 of each

[Commandoclone87]

Rub it in. My list was just hypothetical because I would never be able to afford them due to the 30K of debt I'm sitting on. It's forcing me to trade for most of the stuff I want and I'm at the point where I'm having to pick and choose between favourites.

Smokescreen, because of the Datsun Z rally history behind it (It's why Alternator Smokescreen was the WRC Subaru Imprezza WRX)

Collecting the MP is hugely addictive. I am glad I got into them way back when it was first starting. Could be a small financial crisis if I didn't these days.

My MP list to date
MP 01 Convoy
MP 01B Ehobby Nemesis Convoy
MP 02 Ultra Magnus w/Igear anime head
MP 03 Starscream
MP 04 Optimus w/Trailer
MP 04S Sleep Mode Convoy (Hong Kong / Tokyo Editions)
MP 05 Megatron
MP 06 Skywarp
MP 07 Thundercracker
MP 08 Grimlock
MP 09B Black Rodimus v2.0
MP 12 Sideswipe
MP 12T Tigertrack (enroute)
MP 13 Soundwave
MP 14 Red Alert
MP 15 Rumble & Ravage
MP 16 Frenzy & Buzzsaw

Few hasbro and Igear releases as well
Grimlock
Thundercracker / Lightning
Skywarp / Destroyer

I can't wait for the remaining to come out. Fall of this year and spring next year is going to be great. The one thing I am wondering about is that Takara has release a barrage of new Autobot warriors (all pre ordered). So the question that I have is. What is the stand alone decepticon release going to be? Thats been under wraps. I mean we got the MP 12 mold then MP 13 Soundwave. We get the MP 17 Datsun mold revealed so whats the decepticon release? There has to be some balance. Releasing MP Wheeljack and Bumblebee is cool but there is a major gap. MP 13 Soundblaster or a new original mold?

You're missing two of the best nullray, 10 and 11 are perfect,

[CBII]

I'm buying them all as they come out. I suggest you do the same. It will only cost you more later especially if Hasbro doesn't pick up the new figures (hopefully at Botcon they'll fill us in on there MP line plans)

[Goaliebot]

I only buy 1 of each mold, and prefer to go for the primary character when possible. So for me it's Prowl for that mold.

Of course, I didn't think of the NA license issue ahead of time and missed Sideswipe at an acceptable price, so either Tigertrack or G2 SS will fill that mold.

Wheeljack and Bee are preordered.

Of course, me getting the Takara imports of the MP cars means Hasbro is going to shock us all with $40 NA releases of all of them, but I consider that my service to the fandom.
