This won't be going on sale, the other Asia exclusive MPs have only gone up in price since their release. On top of that, this is Skywarp based on the more show accurate version of the mold.
Yeah, I somehow managed to miss this until yesterday, so I bit and pre-ordered it from RK, cheaper than any other place I found it at, 210 dollars including shipping. I feel really, really sad and dirty that this cost me more before shipping than MP Ultra Magnus did including shipping.
At least I have a full set of Seekers now, and won't have to get one till the Coneheads finally show up.
Huh? The Hasbro Asia MP reissues so far are Starscream and OP, both of which are still widely available. SS in particular has been on sale a bunch of times.
Skywarp is a special case, and 'hardcore' collectors like most of us here consider him a necessity, but I'm not sure we're representative of the market here, especially with the prohibitive price point.

Leave it to Dead Metal to have the word 'Pronz' in his signature.
Didn't realize Grimlock was a Hasbro Asia reissue... interesting. But yea, even more so then. I have an order with TFsource with Hasbro Asia SS & Grimlock on there for $175 each. When TFSource or BBTS has their next Botcon or whatever type sale happens, you can count on those guys being discounted. Hope SW goes the same way... Though I'll probably put in an order in the next week out of weakness.Dead Metal wrote:Don't forget Grimlock, Grimlock in his sweet ass box.
SS went on sale? Hm, so I misjudged these then, must just be bias due to how high the initial import costs are. I should check ebay more often then, the last time I checked out the Asia MP reissues, they where still at their 220 price point.

especially since the MP line has become so one sided, and the coneheads would just be retools. sounds like a no-brainer to me.Seibertron wrote:Ok, now that we've redone these 3 Seekers ... can we please have Thrust, Ramjet and Dirge finally?

I thought the new ones did have ankle tilts? Or am I not remembering correctly? And if not, at least the new ones can stand with some sense of balance...
