BBTS has just listed the pre-order for Takara Tomy's upcoming MP-12 figure Lambor aka Sideswipe. Their initial price is $159.99 but that's tentative until they confirm the final pricing-hopefully that price could drop as several MP figures have in past situations like this. The figure is scheduled to be released toward the end of 2012.

After seeing this year's upcoming MP-10 release from Hasbro, I'm thinking a $50 (give or take) US release of MP-12 is worth waiting for.

Unless it comes with a trailer to turn it into Swipimus Prime, that price is ridiculous.

It's going to be smaller than MP Prime V2!

That price...BOHICA.

We just received word from site sponsor BigBadToyStore that pre-orders for Takara's highly anticipated MP-12 Lambor have been opened! The figure is priced at $159.99 and scheduled to release something in the fourth quarter.

They have also listed pre-orders for Takara EZ Collection - Gum Wave - Metallic Repaints. These are priced at $49.99 and scheduled arrive in August.

Hi - a quick update to let you know about a few new items.

Takara Masterpiece MP-12 - We've listed a preorder with preliminary pricing at $159.99 - we expect the price to drop and will adjust it downwards once final costs are known.

Please Note The current $159.99 price for Sideswipe is an estimate from BBTS, we anticipate the actual retail price will be lower. Once official pricing is confirmed, we will adjust to final pricing.

Well it better be a subject to price change. oh yeah...it can always go up as well. They can't be that greedy can they?

Hopefully not.

I can see it being fifty bucks on the domestic market. I'm still shocked that Hasbro is actually giving us Prime's trailer to go along with it.

$159.99 is pretty expensive for a Voyager.

I wouldn't say he's a Voyager. Probably somewhere in between a Voyager and a Leader. I can see where BBTS is coming up with its figures in price; seeing how it's foreign, probably more show-accurate, die-cast, etc. I agree the price is scandalous, but charging lower than $90 is a little bad for their business.

I've read it's been measured against MP-10 and it it comes out to 17 cm...so not quite 7 inches. Without the fig in front of me, I think that comes out to about Classics Prime size. If it's anywhere near $160, I won't be touching the Takara version.
