For a much smaller figure...

No, I'm not trying to be funny.

Wait till we get a domestic release for like $35.

It already went from $150 to $130 on bbts it's gonna be less than $100 they gotta know no one would bay that much for a single voyager figure unless you were building hurcules lol

$35? Not a chance. TRU will carry it, again. They'll milk it for all it's worth. I have no doubt that if we do see it, it won't be available under $50.00...

First of all, it apparently can fit in MP-10's trailer, and standard Voyagers can't... it's more than likely deluxe-sized. Secondly, Hercules isn't even a Transformer, so it's unfair to even compare the two.

It's too small to be over $40 retail, IMO. It would be unreasonable to charge as much as an MP seeker for an MP carformer.

Um first of all yes a voyager will fit in mp 10s trailer I fit my altinator silverstreak in fine and they see people are will to spend a $100 a 3rd party voyager figure why not charge that for official product. But that must be to much for you to comprehend. Hercules isn't a TF LOL what is it a gi joe just because it's not made by takara and hasbro dosnt make it any less of a TF to me. I actually enjoy a lot of 3rd party stuff over the official

Dude, do you have to be such a jerk?

Well to you, Hercules might be a TF, but officially, it's just another transforming robot that looks like a TF. You can believe what you want, but don't argue with the presupposition that those beliefs are a fact.

Also, Takara's MP-10 was like $250 online. Hasbro's retail MP-10 is $100, which is only 40% of Takara's price tag. If Takara's MP-12 is $100 now, it won't be more than $40 when it's released domestically. Do the smurfin' math.

This crap? Again? Knock it off! I mean it!

So a 40% reduction in price is a guarantee you must work for hasbro now or did you break it down to a science. And who said it will release in America hasbro knows a prime figure will sell how about we see if SS makes it to the states b4 we start guessing pricing on a figure that might not sell to well and not make it to the states

Outside of Megatron (because he's a very realistic looking handgun) and Rodimus (because his trailer was omitted), we've received every single Masterpiece mold in one form or another. Optimus, Starscream, Skywarp, Rodimus, Grimlock, have all seen releases here in the US. Sideswipe has nothing on him to prohibit a release, such as Megatron, and nothing needs to be modified, such as Rodimus. Given the track record, we have every reason to assume we'll receive a US release.

I made a reasonable assessment based on the statistics. What have you got?
