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.

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.

But...didn't they originally only reduce it to $220? Then they probably saw nobody was going to buy it from them so they dropped it further to $170.

I don't know the reasons for the further price reducing. Maybe it'll happen again in this case?
Time will tell.

A figure this size, for that price? Ridiculous. I know the economy sucks all over, but this is just ridiculous.

Haha - that's because not enough people were willing to preorder at $250.

So far, there's been no official statement regarding price or if anything else is included with the figure (which I doubt there will be). However, one should safely assume that it won't cost as much as the MP-11 Starscream. so let's set the Starscream price, ensure sales early, and then drop the price once an official one is released.
Also, for those asking about the height of Lambor, check out this picture posted earlier today:
http://www.seibertron.com/images/toys/u ... 0_tfpy.jpg
Clearly to show that Lambor will be smaller than MP-10 Prime. I'm not sure what's going on with Takara, but Lambor shouldn't be shorter than Starscream, even if it means he's shorter than MP-10 Prime. I just wonder if all future releases will be shorter, or some might go back to the current MP size. Or even if we'll get back to the larger MP figure, like original Prime or Megs.

If that's the case, MP Soundwave came out years ago. It was called WST Soundwave.
I'm liking the in scale, no mass shifting look they are going for. Starscream and the Seakers should tower over most of the Autobots/Decepticons if they have F15 alt modes.

Can't escape the mass shifting for megs, though. Unless you have little pip-squeeked high pitched megatron running around shooting up the place. And since his power is above them, he actually pushes them around. So he often hides in vents and waits for Starscream to go behind his back, then pops out and start chasing after SS benny hill style. I'm overstimulated....

I honestly don't get why scale is such a bad thing. It's not like Sideswipe will cost as much as the other MPs...

I just looked at the pic of mp-12 next to mp-10 and he comes up to the silver stripe on primes rib section so I took some voyager figures and started to line them up and voyager dotm prime seems like the best fit

I'm not sure if you're trying to be funny, or not, but Sideswipe's price is looking to be the same as, if not worse than some of the other MPs.
For a much smaller figure...

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.Hotrodimust wrote:orangeitis wrote:No, I'm not trying to be funny.Autobot032 wrote:I'm not sure if you're trying to be funny, or not, but Sideswipe's price is looking to be the same as, if not worse than some of the other MPs.

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.Autobot032 wrote:orangeitis wrote:No, I'm not trying to be funny.Autobot032 wrote:I'm not sure if you're trying to be funny, or not, but Sideswipe's price is looking to be the same as, if not worse than some of the other MPs.

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

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.

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.

Again, what have you got to support your argument?
Posted by MINDVVIPE on May 23rd, 2012 @ 7:57pm CDT
I just want Hasbro to take a bunch of pictures with Sideswipe and Prime's trailer to just end this debate and get people to stop saying it's going to be a deluxe.
Also, I'd guess the price either around 60 or less for the US market. It could be more depending on how it is marketed. I've seen crazier things. But who cares until we actually get prices. Not like talking about the price is going to make a difference unless your actually counting the pennies in your pocket for saving up.

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.
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
A life
Again, what have you got to support your argument?
What I said to begging with wasn't ment to be an argument that's what you made it do have a nice night

Indeed, let's hope that he got a little more Diecast parts on him, than the other Masterpieces...But he looks awesome anyway.

Well done my friend, a staff member tells you to stop doing this and here you go and do it again.
This earns you a warning, of which you will also be notified via a pm.
