Okay, I'm gonna cut this off right here. SteveGo, if you can't contribute in a positive way, stay out of the conversation. fenrir, if he keeps it up, do not engage him, please. He will be dealt with. We're talking about MP Bee, nothing else in this thread. That goes for everyone. Thank you.fenrir72 wrote:SteveGo wrote:fenrir72 wrote:snip

Just so you know, its not the same people or even the same business entities. The YOTG toys were done by Hasbro Asia while the TR toys were designed by Hasbro proper (headquartered in the US).
I said if. But in the end, everything/all roads end up at Pawtucket RI
Btw as of today CAD 120= US$ 92.64. Lucky us for snagging the HJP/Asia releases.
Addendum:
Price reference November 2014 first release
6000Y (discount at 5400Y) at present US$57.80 = CAD 74.94

It was glorious.![]()
A few weeks later, I learned that I could have ordered from a japanese site for HALF that ammoundt, shipped.
So, is TrU getting their MP Bee from BBTS?

I'm not on the side of defending highway robbery but, if you reference the data I presented, the extra CAD 40 may be to offset the shipping costs? Plus their profit margins.
Also, I also got BB last 2014 just like you. Maybe the moral of the story is to get the Takara releases as the Hbs are no longer that "cheap" anymore.

There is no shipping to offset. At least not more than for any other Hasbro toy. This isnt an imported item (unless one considers anything made by a chinese factory an import, but then thats the same as any other hasbro toy).
william-james88 wrote:Oh I see what you mean now, that basically TRU is charging what it would cost to import the guy twice, haha. Yeah, I can see that in their calculations to see how high they can price something. Its like a guy at a local toy show selling figures for their prices on e-bay plus shipping

Considering how Hasbro doesn't typically do character variants of Masterpiece molds, I'd say this will be the only use of this mold we'll ever see from Hasbro for the foreseeable future.DeathReviews wrote:Gee, a hundred bucks for another Bumblebee?

Is Takara's official price much cheaper than Hasbro's?
Good eye! Yes, you are indeed correct.Emerje wrote:On the Hasbro version is the entire tail light section molded in translucent red plastic rather than the Takara Tomy version using clear plastic with tinted red "lights"? Looks that way on the comparison image where you can see the panel joint on the arm.
