And I didn't even list Nemesis Prime (April release).
Consensus time: are newcomers jumping onto Masterpiece, or maybe hoping for an eventual Hasbro release? Are those, like myself, who had been faithful to the Masterpiece series for years still interested in the new releases/has the steady flow of new product rejuvenated your interest in the line?
Paying import prices for a collector's line definitely adds up, but the presentation of these larger, more detailed figures makes for an awesome display! Also, I'm concerned that some releases (the repaints like Alert or exclusives like Sunstorm) won't ever make it through to a Hasbro release so you've just got to order when you hear about them. So, I'm in for Takara and might even double-dip if the Hasbro release is noticeably different. I think pricing might be a barrier or scare away the average fan. Even so, I hope this line continues as is, and that the gamble pays off for the distributors.

Racoon what does MOTUC mean? forgive me if i am naive...lol
