its strange that they differentiated between variants earlier in the line with sunstorm and black convoy, but got lazy with soundblaster and especially G2 sideswipe (they coulda put his crazy face on the coin!). personally im a little behind. i have all the car coins but still need the cassettes, sw, ss, and prime. thankfully theyre all still floating around on ebay for pretty decent prices.

Thanks for watching, glad you liked it! Yeah, the MP-10B is great, and having the repaint coins different is really nice. At least with Soundblaster they did make it unique with the name etc, but yes the MP-12G is a bit of a lazy release. The G2 symbol would've been the difference that made most sense to do, but they missed it. Oh well, still nice to have I guess.
And yes, pretty much all the older ones are still on ebay for pretty reasonable prices still. I'm glad I went back and got some of the older ones. It's a little annoying that MP-9B and MP-12T dont have any coins for them, but not much can be done. I wonder if they'll re-release MP-9B and provide a coin like they did for MP-8 - doubtful since the MP-9B was some e-hobby exclusive or something.

All I'm missing right now is the Soundblaster coin. I'd like to get another MP-11 coin, since mine came with scratches on the back (since it's exposed in the packaging).

the first coin was actually for MP09 rodimus. MP08 has a "coin" with its latest reissue, but its not actually a coin. just a different crown packaged to look like a coin... for whatever reason.koolkollectibleskhai wrote:They've included them since at least MP-8, so no reason for them to stop now I guess.
