There's really no nice way of doing this.

1. This really could've been a continuation of any of the other posts you've posted in the last week.

2. I honestly think that your interest alone on the subject has driven the price up.

3. You've beaten this dead horse into a pasty substance the Western World refers to as Glue. And despite the adhesive properties of such a miracle substance it's time to let the subject fade away.

4. It's "No matter the cost..." not "cause". Kinda Ironic when you think about all the complaining about prices you've done in the last few months.

Please, please try to avoid posting any new topics about MP-04 Prime. If you wish to continue talking about him, that's fine. Just make it an addition to a post you've already created on the subject. I feel certain there's at least a half dozen.

Feel free to post new topics, just try branching out into new topics.

Dud what were you expecting?
Stuff like that won't go down, never! Oh and the price of yours will go down even more at the end of the year. Cos Germany is finely getting it too!
Next time you see it for $300 ore something get it and stop complaining!

Seen a few sell on Ebay for $280-350.

you're funny guys cybertooth, and the tatooted decepticonjon
you really did make my day. i'm positive that i'm gonna get one by next month!!!
next time i will talk about something else other than mp-04, and let's see if my interest alone too can drive up the price.
oh i don't know if i'm gonna get megatron or not...

And you changed your signature... Thumbs up for you.

But seriously, I did reply to the Kiss players thread as informatively as I could but the server went on the blink and failed to load my response. My being lazy kept me from making a second attempt. Those too will go up in price. So get them now if you can, or start saving money.

As for Megatron, I feel confident that Takara won't let JustIToys take all the money and will rerelease the "Complete" figure somewhere down the line.

It would make sense that Takara make a silencer and stock for Mp Megs, but after all the legal troubles they received with Megs, who knows what they'll do?

by **Altertron** » Fri Jul 20, 2007 2:48 pm

what's up with companies, why can't they release the so-called complete version the first time? i mean how many more versions of the same figure do we need to get? ex, if i want a black gun to go with mp-04, i have to buy ultra-magnus, and trade gun with him. but of course i'm not that nip-picking, and the grey gun is okay for me.

The more versions they make, the more they can sell. Especially with Megatron who has a more exciting [complete]alt mode. And honestly, Takara never really had any trouble from the original release, they just plugged all the Stateside shipments with a very cheap, very removable plug that only BBTS went out of the way to correct.

I'm sure it'll come. It's a complete Ultra Magnus I wish someone would make [Marksprojects.com moted but way too pricey for my liking].

To be honest I do not see Mp-04 being worth the cost at all. Being charged an extra 200-300 dollars for a box on wheels that is not complete doesn't seem to be worth the price. But of course you can find it alot cheaper on ebay, around 220.
But I went the cheaper way(I'm on a budget XD) and got the Battle Damaged and purchased Long Smokestacks.

The plug on Megatron can be easily removed, just use a tweezer and twist it several times. There may be a small amount of Glue residue, but it will come off w/o damage

by **Altertron** » Sat Jul 21, 2007 9:44 am

the box on wheels is mp-01, and the complete version is mp-04, i just wanna clear that out.

All I can say is "I told you so."

Prices on these things don't go down, unless you're lucky enough to find a crazy deal. So your best bet is buying it as soon as you can.

If you want Megatron, I suggest preordering it before it's too late.

by **Altertron** » Mon Jul 23, 2007 2:28 pm

this is the second week that i backordered mp-04 from action-hq,still no luck of processing my order. i guess ordering it right after the movie came out is a bad timing, cuz i have to wait for that damn thing for ages!!!
