So I really want to get into collecting the Masterpiece Beast Wars figures (Just the Predacons really), so I have a short list of what I want at the moment. However I have an issue. Shipping. There are many online retailers that offer free shipping. However none of the ones I've checked that do offer free shipping after a certain price is exceeded, offer their free shipping outside of the US. Does anyone know of any Canadian based online retailers that would carry MP Beast Wars figures, or ones that do free shipping to Canada? Because right now the price of these things are making me sweat, slapping the shipping cost ontop of that is not helping. Still going to get into it if there's no options, just means I gotta put money aside. Thanks!

Well, the best store with the best prices that is based in Canada is AGE 3 AND UP.
Also, shipping is free when you spend over 250$CAN. Easy thing to do when buying MP beast wars. You still have to pay the taxes though. Still, better than those horrendous custom fees.

THANKS! Eeeuugh, the price in CAD. I greatly underestimated the exchange rate. Well that +shipping from the US would have been worse after exchange anyway. Gotta put some cash aside in that case and splurge later~

Of course the prices are in CAN$. This way, you will not get screwed over by the ever changing exchange rate. Once a price is set, it is set unless there's a sale.

Current exchange rate is horrendous anyway and importing anything from the USA or Japan cost a zillion dollar in shipping.

I've been looking for many Canadian stores because of that and I always come back to A3&↑. Best prices, better selection of merchandise, and top service. Only annoyance with their site is the fact that once again, it's impossible to filter out the sold out items.

Thanks to the UK store Abgee, we have an interesting listing to share with you today. We will stress though that this is just a listing, so any information it might provide should be taken with a grain of salt.

This new listing is for a new Movie Masterpiece figure, labelled as "Movie Masterpiece 2", and the listing has the price for £119.99, which comes out to $147.88 USD, which is about what the new Movie Masterpiece Starscream figure is set to retail for at Target. Now what's important to note here is that Abgee has a second listing for a Movie Masterpiece figure that also includes no description, which is labelled as "Movie Masterpiece 1" and is retailing for £149.99, or around $185 USD. Now considering 1 and 2 might mean first and second Masterpiece to come out this year, and given the price compared to other stores for the otherwise Target-exclusive Starscream, it would be safe to guess that the "1" listing would be for Starscream, and that the "2" listing is actually for a different Masterpiece figure.

Now since it looks like we are settling in on a path to get roughly 2 Movie Masterpiece figures a year, and after last year's 1 Autobot 1 Decepticon rule, a good guess as to who this listing could be would be Ratchet, the final member of the original 2007 Autobot cast. But again, this is all speculation based on this listing, so take it all with a few grains of salt.

Let us know what you think of this listing below, and if you think we have a new Movie Masterpiece Ratchet or other figure on the way!

If both are the same price, I bet both are Starscream. One have the '07 deco while the other have the ROTF/DOTM deco.

They both aren't, one is 120, one 150 pounds

Well in that case....

Still, camo Screamers will be sooner or later.

Maybe, just maybe, 'Movie Masterpiece 2' is referring to a second Movie Line altogether...

News Credits: 7 · by **TulioDude** » Wed Apr 22, 2020 12:53 pm

Maybe they will do Ratchet,then after that,they will double down on the rescue theme and do Armada Red Alert.

Day 113 of waiting for Transformers Armada Masterpiece news.

Watch them throw a curve ball and this is actually the start of the Movie Masterpiece Constructicons... And they release one piece a year.

It's probably Rachet though...

I really want it to be Ratchet, we are so close to finishing the movie 1 Bots

Maybe it'll be a do-over of Ironhide?

Seriously doubt it, and I doubt we will get a tatto Starscream in the next few years.

The way they have gone so far, no dupes, no repaints, no do-overs (except if you count MPM-1 and 2). A tattoo Starscream would likely be after they have finished the movie 1 cons, and I doubt an Ironhide will come until they do a Dark of the Moon one with new weapons, but even then no new mold.

IMO we won't have gone full '07 until they re-do Ironhide.

You do realise they won't do that, to them, 07 Ironhide is done and dusted. Your best hope is a sequel movie version released down the line, but for now, that's the lot.

Are they really only one figure away from finishing an MP line? Be sure to note that on your calendars, if Ratchet does drop. That won't happen again any time soon...

They haven't done MPM Blackout, Brawl or Scorp so it'll only be the,'07 Autobots complete

50% is better than any other line to date. :APPLAUSE:

If anyone cares to do the maths, What completion percentage is G1 currently at, within the MP collection? Given we have Post Movie characters, Star Saber etc All of it, not just season one or two.
