Probably the packaging, it's very similar to the one HAsbro used for Grimlock, Rodimus Prime and Thundercracker.

I hear you, I think its a load of bull too, especially if the rumour is that they are released individually (was that the rumour?). If Metroplex was released as a masterpiece edition I could buy it, but it wasnt. The only predecessor for a figure rereleased as an MP (as Chuck indicates) are the leader movie figures like this one:
"That was the droid I was looking for" I was beginning to think Alzheimer's set in early on me! I knew there was a reg release that was released MP. Still doesn't match up for Devy though.
Yup that did happen, and they were sold for the same prices that Japanese Leader Class figures usually went for at the time.
But to be super honest, I managed to see one of these in person (sadly I don't have it, couldn't afford it at the time and I believe they go for crazy money now), the packaging is actually superior to that of the main Masterpiece line. They're not just black boxes like the main line, they are book style boxes that give you a cool look at the inside of the box. And damn, the paint on those Starscreams is awesome, all the cables and stuff have been painted.
