Courtesy of
Cybertron.ca, we have interesting information regarding a handful of likely TRU Transformers exclusives. The stock keeping units (SKUs) have revealed the Canadian pricing for figures, including Masterpiece Acid Storm, Generations Metroplex and Masterpiece Soundwave. These prices will likely be shared with American TRUs, much like how the prices were shared for Masterpiece Optimus Prime and Thundercracker. Check out the list below.

Masterpiece Soundwave SKU043130 - $119.99
Masterpiece Acid Storm SKU043128 - $69.99
Generations Titan Metroplex SKU043106 - $99.99
Prime Plat. Ed Ultra Magnus SKU038196 - $69.99
Prime Ultimate Dragon SKU043112 - $59.99
Prime 16'' Figure SKU038183 - $29.99

Given the scale, Metroplex seems reasonably priced. (hell I paid just as much for Omega Supreme).
The bigger stumbling block is where would I keep him.

Metroplex is only $100!? WHAT?! I thought that thing was going to be like, I dunno, $200! Considering the scale, and Hasbro's cheapness, that thing is a steal!
Gosh dangit.
Looks like I can't have both Acid Storm and Soundwave. Both characters I like... Sour grapes.

Didn't they say at Toy Fair that Metroplex would be $125? Not that I'd complain about $99.99.

Better materials, more parts (unconfirmed), all 5 cassettes... all adds up to more labour and assembly costs.

Eeeeexcellent. Metroplex shall be mine! Now we only need to pray that they stock them in far more numbers than MP-10 so we don't have to beat the scalpers (and each other) to be first in line.

i knew the mps would be overpriced, hopefully soundwaves high price point will make it a shelf warmer and ill have time to save up the money. I am a bit surprised at metroplex only be $100, thought he was going to be $125 or more. Still going to pass on him though especially since soundwave is so damn much.

I'm gonna keep some extra cash ready for prices to adjust higher. What's to say they won't. Remember how TRU MP OP kept going up every freakin' time it sold out?

Metroplex was mentioned at Toyfair for $125. If TRU gets it, you can bet they will raise the price from $99.00 to $120.00 or higher like they did with the MP-10 Optimus. My store only got 4 total during Christmas and was selling them higher than the sku price of $99 so dont get to excited my fellow fans if your hunting for him at TRU.

That's a pretty good price considering his size.
Double it for Australia of course ... despite dollar parity.

Now *that* would be a disaster, especially for all non-US fans. Given the shipping costs and having to hunt it down on the secondary market then...*shudders*
We'll see.

Just grab the Takara version, there's enough Asia-based western oriented online stores that make it easy to do so.

$100 for Metroplex seems reasonable. There isn't that much to him. He has hollow legs, and not a lot of gimmicks for a titan.
I hate hunting for these things in the stores. Will Metroplex be available for pre-order anywhere?

Ok...A couple quick things:
1) Why is everyone complaining about Soundwaves price?? You're getting SIX MASTERPIECE Transformers for goodness sakes! Not to mention, add the cost of all those up from Takara and see what total you get... Kinda reminds me of a saying my dad would use involving a new rope and complaining.
2) Metroplex... $99 or $125...what does it matter?? It's a 2 foot tall Transformer!!
3) My only question... Maybe someone has some insight or specualtion...What the heck is..
Prime 16'' Figure SKU038183 - $29.99??
At first I thought it might be Predaking Leader Class, but then realized the OP Leader is $59...Any thoughts??
