Hasbro MP-10 has yet to be released in North America. It looks like it'll be in September. Sixshot is an Asia exclusive, Hasbro MP-10 has released in Malaysia and other countries within the past few weeks.

It runs $215.50 USD in Singapore, while I can get the Takara one for $225... :-(

Well, that's really expensive... The most I'll fork out for that is $160... Or I'll just buy a 2nd hand MP-1 just to get a MP Prime mold...

Consider yourselves lucky over in the states, since it supposedly comes with a mere $100 price tag... :-(

I'll pick it up on sight for $100.

I'd be willing to bet the American TRU release will be no more than $99.99. TRU may charge too much for their TFs, but I think they're at least wise enough to understand that if they put a TF on the shelf for MORE than $100, nobody is going to buy it.

i actually don’t think i’ve ever seen a TF on a shelf above $99.99

Meanwhile in Asia: Leader classes are $88 and even that crappy MP Rodimus was $144. :-(
