No. Many of the sites that advertise on this site actually have the new MP Bumblebee in stock, for instance. If you're not on the Takara MP train, I highly recommend it. Very fun ride
It's also much, much easier to obtain the Japanese figures since Hasbro can only seem to get Toys R Us to distribute Masterpiece figures. Reduced stress, no waiting, no fighting off all the other local collectors, no guessing if they'll even happen? That's a win all around!
