Oh, how ironic would it be if it was Masterpiece Erector?

Got mine from BBTS for $200

well back then I could never afford it, even at $200, I could afford it at one convention but then that would be have been my entire budget WITH food XD

I saw it for $250 a LOT of the time I saw it available. To be fair, MP-04 did have varying prices.

I currently do not have ANY Optimus Primes besides WFC Prime, Animated Voyager Prime and KO Crystal Animated Deluxe Optimus Prime. So I am definitely due for a Masterpiece Prime...lol considering I have been trying to get the MPL-01 but been sold out everywhere. But this I might just keep my pre-order on BBTS considering I have quite a few items coming in september that I am getting.

CP should contact BBTS and tell them what it is since their product description leads everyone to believe that it's probably a new figure, not a repaint...

I would guess that BBTS probably already knows what it is but agreed not to reveal it until Takara does.

quite possibly...they will ask for proof as well. Cause speculation is a double-edged sword in business...it could definitely help but it also could definitely hurt

Also BBTS already says that "the information states this is a 'New' figure, so we do not expect any repaints of prior releases."

News Credits: 2 · by **Sideswipe 00** » Thu Apr 21, 2011 1:36 pm

*shrugs* They have stated that MPL-01 is the last of that particular prime mold. So this technically would also be a new figure considering its a brand new mold.

ubertenorman and Sideswipe... yall are confusing me now... Ubertenorman basically stated the same thing as me but made it sound contradicting and sideswipe, how is MPL-01 a new mold???

...and from what I can tell MPL-01 doesn't come with a trailer

No I said MPL-01 is the LAST CHANCE to get the old Masterpiece Prime mold.

So if MP-10 is really Optimus Prime with his Trailer, this will be a completely NEW mold of him hence making him a new figure.

sorry for the confusion xP

Did no one see my comment about it being Erector? Come on, that was funny!

The preorder, MP-10, will be a brand new mold.
It will be a new mold of G1 Prime with trailer.

MPL-01 was the last run for the original MP Optimus mold.

Does that help?

BBTS already knows that it's likely going to be a new sculpt, not a repaint. They say so on the preorder page.

So is MP-10 gonna be a completely new mold of Op w/ trailer or a reissue of MP-04???

If what Counterpunch is saying is accurate (and it probably is) then MP-10 will be a new sculpt of Optimus Prime with a trailer.

OH MY GOD....It's a new mold, so it can't be a reissue, but that's ALL WE KNOW.

Interesting... Where are the pics? Usually there would be pics by now since September is only 5 months away

No idea, but from what I heard it's going to be the ultimate Prime.

There are none yet. Takara/Hasbro has not officially announced what the figure will be. The only reason we know that it's a new Prime is that Counterpunch has more access to info than we do.

Counterpunch is so lucky!
