Well, they haven't messed up the Mastperpiece decos.
In your opinion perhaps, but every one I've seen was less G1 cartoon accurate than what Takara gave us, at least in the new line so far (and most of the previous ones besides Grimlock and the first release of MP-01).
...Takara gets all the decos right?
The very first release of MP Starscream (by Takara, ironically enough) begs to differ.
Seriously though, all the MP releases, whether they've been Hasbro or Takara, have been faithful to the character they are homaging. What MP release wasn't accurate to their characters? The only differences between Hasbro and Takara releases are subtle deco differences (for example, Hasbro's MP10 was colored more like the original cartoon, whereas the Takara release emulates the original toy).

Takara is more accurate because they are colored like the g1 toys and what comes first, the toy or the cartoon? Answer: the toy.

Hasbro's MP-10 was NOT colored like the cartoon. Go back and look at any episode of G1 featuring Optimus Prime. Hasbro's colors emulate the brighter colors that started with the Michael Bay movie franchise and the likes. In G1, the blue was always about as dark as on the toy.

And in the past, the Classics 20th Anniversary DVD Edition Optimus Prime, MP Starscream, and MP Skywarp all shelf-warmed like crazy at Walmart.

I wonder, if people were simply waiting for the prices to eventually drop. I know I would

Uh, Thundercracker is. He came out with Prime last Fall/Winter.xyl360 wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Except for Thundercracker, since that shelf-warmed for a good long while.xyl360 wrote:My point about distribution is simply that they're always store exclusives.

Hmm, but that's Wal-Mart, not T r' Uand those are not part of the new MP line.

Leave it to Dead Metal to have the word 'Pronz' in his signature.

It was a pretty good deal. (Unfortunately, I couldn't take advantage of that because they didn't ship to my state. I bit the bullet and bought one from eBay a few months ago. With shipping and customs it was quite costly.. but damn, he's such an awesome toy! Don't regret it.)
$50 per Nissanbot is not too bad, I think. They look great.
Pity it's too late to get a Sideswipe.
xyl360 wrote:Regarding decos, yes, the differences are minor, but they make enough difference to me along with not having to worry about whether or not I'll be able to get my hands on one to just preorder Takara's and skip Hasbro's. The only exception to that for me was Thundercracker (because Takara didn't do one, though Hasbro's is very nice and based on the same darker blue they used on the Generations TC).
Now I just wish one of them would do Skywarp out of the retooled MP Seeker mold already.
Yeah, I have the MP-12 reissue on pre-order.Dean ML wrote:Sideswipe is still available at TFsource for $110. Totally worth it. Probably available elsewhere, but I haven't looked. Better than paying $200 a year from now. Really doubt Hasbro will be releasing these licensed cars, too, and if they did they'd surely botch their decos.
