Looks like it doesn't have the red stripes on the arms like the first US release. Guess I still have to track that one down

Maybe the price will collapse on it.

This isn't just a rerelease you know. The grey is lighter, and the red lines on the arms are gone.

Also looks like the silver paint apps on the robot thighs are gone for this version.

Alas - they do indeed seem to be using this new god-awful 'logo' for more than just the movie line. Makes them look like a box of PREMIUM crackers....

I just hope lots of overexited scalpers will buy the thing en masse and flood the secondary market with it. Then, the price will be at an all time low and anybody in the world will be able to afford one. Not just some lucky Americans.

Yeah, it uses the deco layout of the original Takara MP-8 version, but with a lighter shade of gray plastic.

One to sell with a huge mark-up, obviously.

And some customizers like to have one for them to keep unaltered, and one for them to work their special artistic magic upon.

Already had a guy on the other forum I frequent admit to buying all the ones his local tru had, total of 6 grimlocks. And we know what he's doing with them since he's a big seller.

And the bullshit circle is now complete.
I'm sorry for being so sour in every single North-America MP Release threads. As long that the "NO MP FOR U" policy for Quebec is going on, and the scalpers screw everyone else, I'll take these announcements grimly.

A non-public facebook group. I wonder if there's something to hide.

If I find any at my TRU, I'd be happy to pick 1 (or 2) up for you guys, at cost plus shipping.

Let me know if you're interested. I'll be going to TRU in about 2 hours.
