I really doubt it. Wal-Marts seem to get the Masterpiece figures, so I really doubt that's going to change as it has worked well for all parties involved(they usually sell out in a day).
I think it would have been surprising if Grimlock wasn't released in the States...this is a guranteed retail hit for Hasbro.
Odd how MP SS retailed for $50 (the correct price for that figure, IMO), Warpie will be about $60, from what I understand? And here, we are predicting Grimlock will be at least $60, probably $70, and $80 isn't out of the question.
And this is in a span of a couple years with an economy that became progressively worse as these figures became more expensive.
There's some sort of social commentary that probably can be wrung out of that, but what is is, the hell I know. I'm just still smarting over paying another $30 for a Powerglide who should have been red the whole time.
If I would have known I would become such a slave to TFs, I would have stuck to my M.A.S.K. action figures back in '84(by the way, funny parody of the latter on Robot Chicken, if you've never seen).
Anywho, I'm predicting about $69.99 for Grimlock.
