Masterpiece Sunstorm Found in TRU Computers - Possible US Release?

Postby Mindmaster » Sun Feb 09, 2014 1:35 pm

Motto: "For I have dipped my hands in muddied waters, and, withdrawing them, find 'tis better to be a commander than a common man!"
Weapon: Dark Saber Sword
Following up on a tip by Seibertron.com Primeultimus, the staff called with the Wilmington, North Carolina Toys "R" Us. The employee on the phone, after being given the specific item code, confirmed that the number belonged to "TRA SUNSTORM MASTERPIECE", which of course, means Masterpiece Sunstorm! Could this herald another release of the much-loved MP11 Seeker mold?

The item code is 311207, if one would like to check for themselves.
They call me “Tanker Chungus”!

I'd bite on both Acid Storm and Sunstorm if they were priced at a reasonable $50. Heck, I might even go the full $75 if they'd do a decent US Starscream. But really... the uniqueness of the mold is gone.

Holy sticker shock, Batman!

MP Acid Storm was what, $70-75?

And to think some people say that the $60 price for MP Prowl @ TRU has got to be wrong, that it's got to be less.

I have the Takara version, but would pick up this TRU release... if only to demonstrate Takara's plastic quality and general superiority.

Do people think the price increase is arbitrary, or that the coronation gear is included?

Acidstorm is still $86.99 as well though, at least in my current store.

Comments like this kill me because I have MP-11 and Hasbro TC and Acid Storm and you can't tell the difference between the three.

The price for Prowl is probably about right as your dealing with an official license from Nissan, which is why Sideswipe cant be released due to licensing issues.

The jet mold for the Seekers isn't licensed so you get more toy for your money.

If it has the proper Sunstorm creamsicle colors, color me interested. But I'm still disappointed at no MP Optimus rerelease or Starscream and Skywarp. Seriously, with Sunstorm Hasbro has released 3 of these seekers. We could've had a hasbro released Seeker trio by now

Hasbro released their MP Starscream back in 2007 and MP Skywarp back in 2009, even if the mold has been retooled since then.

TRU: "Well, Masterpiece Soundwave was so popular we could barely get it OUT ONTO the shelves; it sold out before it even got to the store. Acid Storm, on the other hand, is still sitting on store shelves. Let's get more of it in a different color! But no more Soundwaves; they sell too quickly."

Sort of tangenting, but I have been hoping that Takara would remold this version of the Seeker mold for Coneheads since the release of the MP 11 Starscream. New(ish) mold, why not use it for new entries into the MP line? Here's to still hoping.
