I'm just saying that your attitude of "shut up unless you buy the thing at full price" is totally insane.

I'll leave this at that before I fall victim to the inevitable napalm bombing.

It's totally logical to be perplexed by people allegedly wanting something but waiting for it to go on sale. As I said I don't understand such a cheap mentality but clearly you do which obviously irks you because I'm right.

Look dude, sometimes people genuinely desire something but either can't financially justify dropping $200 or more on a single action figure or don't desire it to the degree that they're willing to spend that much. That's not the kind of money most of us can throw around lightly.

Understand what you're saying but I worked hard to get a job that gives me the finances to purchase these items. I just don't like the cheap mentality when people could either not comment at all as they're looking to devalue the product which makes companies cut corners to appeal to these people or for these people to put some ambition into improving their financial circumstances.

Not. Everybody. Can. It's not always possible for people to get a raise or a better paying job, no matter how hard they work or look. Like it or not, the fact that you were able to do so makes you lucky and privileged. Not everyone has that same fortune, and some people have bigger financial burdens relative to their earnings.
And it's one thing to call people cheap. But going as far as saying that their not wanting or not being able to justify spending the full price on a toy means they "must not really want it" is insane troll logic, and incredibly rude and jerkish to boot.
For my money, if they were really "devaluing the toys" they'd be saying the base price should be smaller to begin with. Not that they'll wait for a temporary reduction.

Good day, sir.

Ambition goes a long way.

I'm just excited he's starting to come out. Movie 1 Megatron holds a very special place in my heart. I'm sad I can't find him at a US TRU, but I have my August TFsource pre-order locked in, so I am good to go!

I'm seeing some images of him on twitter too, and it is fantastic. He is huge, bigger than MP-43 Beast Megatron

He looks like an absolute monster which is appropriate. Surprised they went with so much red on his chest. Not too fussed by the play features tbh but it's my favourite design for movie Megatron.

I love how monstrous and huge he is. He has presence, and he has weight thanks to the die cast.

He may be $160 USD, but considering his is BIGGER than a $300+ MP, I think we are getting a great package

Absolutely he's well worth it.

Fellow Seibertronians, TonTon Review is at it again, this time bringing us a review of the upcoming Masterpiece Movie MPM-09 Jazz figure! Thanks to forum members Nathaniel Prime and Riley Hoffman for sending us this scoop! If you're not already familiar with TonTon Review on YouTube, know that these reviews are narrated by a computer generated voice translating into English from another language. TonTon gives us a nice look at both modes of MPM-09 Jazz, his Pontiac Solstice and robot forms, both looking incredibly screen accurate. He also offers some size and detail comparisons with other versions of Movie Jazz, including the Human Alliance release from several years ago and the more contemporary Studio Series Deluxe Class figure from 2018. The transformation is VERY intricate, as would be expected for a Masterpiece release, to get every detail from the Pontiac Solstice mode into just the right place in robot mode for the most screen accurate version of Movie Jazz we've seen to date in toy form. TonTon shows off the transformation both ways, from car, to robot, and back again, taking some time in robot mode to show off some of the accessories that come with this Masterpiece release, including a Sam Witwicky figure holding the Allspark, Jazz's signature cannon-shield, and a robotic spine piece to help replicate Jazz's battle with Megatron in the first movie. Have a look at the video yourselves below!



What do you think of this latest in the line of Masterpiece Movie figures from Hasbro and Takara Tomy? Will you be adding Movie Jazz to your collections? Let us know in the forums and stay tuned to Seibertron.com for the latest news on all things Transformers!

Ugh...his finger nails...

If you’re gonna review clip and clean that ****

I really like the figure, and I think he's well worth the price. I do wonder, did Barricade sell at a similar price? Because I dont see why they could exclude a minifigure of frenzy.

I was also surprised to see that his backpack isn't made with faux parts (not 100% at least)

I HATE transforming RiD (2001) Hot Shot, but I would go Sisyphus on that toy forever if only to avoid transforming this Jazz toy once.

Looks beautiful, though. But the Kim Kardashian kind, where there's so much crazy coming off it that the Hate Plague cries in jealousy.

Jazz genuinely looks fantastic. I think he's out of scale though like bee and barricade which is a bit annoying.

The nails don't bother me, but the bug at 24:43 ooks me out.

Jazz look really good and the articulated figures are cool. I dig the movie Jazz design.

He seems to have mistransformed the legs, there's a die cast part that looks like a toe on the outside of the legs when he's taking him from vehicle mode to robot mode that he doesn't swing down. Understandable though, as he probably doesn't have any instructions. He's probably an employee at the factory that keeps the test shots and reviews them.

You don't get it at all. There's a big difference between wants levels and just downright hating the thing. Like hit-n-running in bayformer thread just to say you hate bayformers (like a certain poster always do) for example.

Please stop being an extremist. There's more than black and white in this world.

Nah it's just being cheap. Nothing more, nothing less.

This is one of the dumbest things I’ve ever read. Waiting for sales is not, never has been, and never will be “cheap”. It’s intelligent. I can easily afford these figures as well, but I don’t pay full price if I can at all avoid it.


Every single MPM figure, every single one, has hit massive discounts on Amazon. At this point, paying full price is a bit stupid.


You need some life experience, son.

It makes little difference to Takara of these are on sale or not as they already got their money when suppliers bought stock, what they want is not to be hit by unsold stock. Waiting for sales is a viable tactic to getting the best for your cash. Especially if you can put down the FOMO monster (Fear Of Missing Out).

Items sitting on shelves for a long period of time decreases the chances of stores ordering the same or similar items which then leads manufacturers to not make items in the future or cut corners. It's a sad and stupid way of thinking of a brand new figure to wait for a discount. Improve ones situation with some ambition and all is well.

That FOMOnster is a real asshole and a hard one to slay

Absolutely nothing wrong with waiting on a sale, I do it all the time for my maybe list. Even though I really like the look of MPM Jazz, that's where it sits.

If it goes on sale cool, but too bad for me if I miss out.

I have a strong feeling that isn't the scenario here, and I think you're being a tad dramatic. These will sell well, the first shipment and when the sales hit. Nothing to do with ambition. If you want to get this on release then all power to you there'll be more shipment for you to grab

Yeah, keep on trolling. If, god forbid, you are serious, enjoy throwing money away, either way, I’m done.



“Ambition”. Good lord, kids these days......

Yup, yours.
