I ordered a couple delivered to the states and the total was just over $105. IF this is legit, man, steal of a deal.

If this is legit this will be my third mp tru prime. I paid $200 for the import, $99 for the tru preorder, and now $46 for this one. I think I might have recouped some of my money from the import if this goes through.
I'm not a scalper either, I am a crazy collector who buys 3 of everything, 2 to open and display in both modes and 1boxed to store away in my attic or what I call my time capsule. :michaelbay:

I took the risk and ordered one too. $34.11 shipped to MA. I can wait until mid-February for a deal like that.


EDIT: I went back and looked at my order again and noticed it's 34.11 GBP. So I used a currency converter and it should come out to just over $55 US. That's still a lot better than buying it stateside - if you can find one.

I prolly wont be able to get this, but I am so happy for those who will!

I am also very, very pleased with the way Amazon has been kicking the royal snot out of scalpers and the big online toy sellers who try to mirror their prices these days. I literally bought from amazon all year and not only got things at retail or cheaper, but usually with free shipping, which were outrageous elsewhere at the time.

I bought the Combaticons from amazon at retail price with free shipping at a time when BBTS was trying to sell the five of them for nearly 100 dollars plus shipping. I got the Ultimate Gift Set at 27.00 and free shipping when it was 40.00 plus shipping on the 2 big "collector's sites" for a pre order.

In fact, their price for MP Thundercracker a couple of months ago (cheaper than at retail!)is probably the biggest reason TRU scalpers RETURNED their supplies of that toy. I sincerely hope this continues!!

This reminds me of two things. First, when Wal-Mart priced Ultimate Bumblebee at $35. They honored the price--I bought two.

Second, there is no reason MP Prime has to be priced at $99 or more. Most of the Masterpieces released state-side were originally priced at $60 or less. It's only Toys R Us that jacks up the price to the ether. Let's also not forget that MP figures at Wal-Mart went for half the original price or less at some points.

Considering that Amazon in my experience has a history of unbelievable offers, including any ROTF Human Aliiance figure for $10 to $15, I'd say their offering MP Prime at half price completely intentionally is plausible. Toys R Us is taking the "limited edition" stance, but it's resulted in poor distribution and fewer sales. Amazon may just be taking the economy of scale stance: Sell cheap, and you'll sell a ton.

For the record, I did have one order canceled by Amazon, but not due to pricing error. There was a hard drive advertised on their site at a much lower price than others. They canceled the order after a few weeks because they couldn't get it in stock due to the supply shortage cause by flooding in Thailand.

I put in my order. Time will tell.
For sale: My entire Transformers and third-party collection. Includes Masterpiece, Generations, Universe, Movie, Prime, Armada/Energon/Cybertron, G1, G2, a few Japanese imports, etc. Many never opened, the rest displayed in enclosed display cases to keep the dust off. A few ads on Craigslist/OfferUp for DC/MD/VA locals, will post on boards or ebay when I have time.

Heh. When I originally ordered mine it was #7 in Toys & Games, it's now #1.
Admittedly we're talking amazon.co.uk here, not amazon.com, but still :D

It would be interesting to see where the majority of orders are coming from. ;)

Even though I am waiting for my original MP-10 to arrive, I ordered this one as well. The price is low and there are no shipping costs to The Netherlands. I would not mind adding the Hasbro version as well to my collection, but I doubt that this will come through. I believe it to be a mistake. We will have to wait and see.
