Toy Garden and Toywiz Malaysia will be taking preorder for this item now for RM429 (SGD$178.42). Release date July 2012.

Hmmm, kinda glad I didn't get iGear's Sunstorm. I hope he will have a nice look to him and not be to generic.

Could Greatshot be on the way?

Finally an Encore Sixshot...

As for MP Sunstorm ... Well, the Rainmaker repaints were eminent..

Damnit, the one time I wanted our friend to be wrong...
Damn Sunstorm.

Good news to those who want Sunstorm huh. Never been a fan of Sunstorm ~_~...

I like Sunstorm, but not enough to shell out MP prices for him.

Now a Classics Sunstorm would be more than welcome (and yes, I have the KO Sunstorm already).

Encore Sixshot? I don't import much, but I might have to fork over the extra cash for that.

So.....obviously MP Soundwave is NOT on the official books.

We need a classics Sixshot and Blitzwing.

How much is Sixshot in USD? Sounds expensive.

Agreed.

What the hell are they smoking?

Am I the only one befuddled that Sunstorm is getting an MP release before a true Classicsverse release? Of course, I currently use Titanium Sunstorm in that role and he's a vastly underrated figure.

Actually the only named rainmaker was Acid Storm, Sunstorm was a seeker I actually would have liked Acid Storm as a MP-11 repaint

Sunstorm is like so last year. CHMS and I-Gear took care of Sunstorm. And with Haxatron coming, who cares about Encore Sixshot ??? It's not like you cant get the original G1 toy on E-Bay...

I love my Titanium Sunstorm!

Encore Sunstorm, huh? I never did get the masterpiece seeker mold. If Hasbro brings him to the U.S., I might be tempted to cave and grab one, especially if they throw in a unique accessory or two.

Well, its MP Sunstorm, not encore. Encore is the Sixshot figure.

I know the encore line is a huge blessing to people into the G1 era. But while they have a certain charm, I'm a Classic's kinda guy.

I think I'll still hold off for Mastermind's... oh frick! This might keep Hexatron off BBTS.

According to the Google money converter. 429 RM is going to be $141.32 USD. Which sucks because they are both priced the same.

I meant MP. Stupid typo.

If Hasbro brings over the MP with a decent paint job and maybe an exclusive accessory or two, I might snag him.

I have to say, I'm the same way. As much as I will always love G1 and appreciate them, they really don't hold a candle anymore to some of the classics designs. Haxatron looks unbelievable. Literally, unbelievable. I won't believe he exists until I'm holding him in my hands.

I don't understand MP Sunstorm. Considering they probably won't do the much more significant Coneheads, and even the other two seekers, though likely, aren't a guarantee, what's the point of a(n) MP Sunstorm without the rest? And it makes even less sense to do a(n) MP of something they haven't even found worth their while to make a Classics figure for...

I guess props for doing something obscure for the hardcore collectors, however, most of them probably already bought the iGear version.

Looks like they're only giving the price in Malaysia (which converts to about $140), so I think we have to wait until sites like BBTS start listing it. My guess is that it's going to be about the same price as the recent Encore Devastator (about $120).
