Masterpiece Laserwave, Ramjet and Ratchet are here (mostly). The line has obviously evolved not just from where it started in 2003 with MP-1, the ultimate expression of a G1 Optimus Prime, but also since the reboot of MP-10 Convoy. Different designers from the same team have been allowed to make their mark on the flagship Transformers toy series, and the MP offerings in 2016 have pleased some more than others. We’ve already looked at MP-27 Ironhide and MP-28 Hot Rodimus in detail on this blog, so this week allows us a brief look at Ramjet, Ratchet and Laserwave, examining some pros and cons of each figure.

Ramjet isnt expensive because its a TTMall exclusive. Its more complicated than that. Its expensive because him being exclusive to TTMall in Japan, means people outside Japan cant get him for the regular price and thus westerners are stuck with the more expensive Hasbro Asia version as the only option to purchase, and that version isnt even limited.

People in Japan were still able to get this guy for the regular price.

Cheers for the clarification ;)^

I guess I should have made more reference to the fact that it being an exclusive makes it more expensive to import, and specifically the HA version being the costly option.
