It looks as good as can be, but even if it takes 5 years for Takara to make one, I'd wait. Why can't they just say "yeah it's in the works" or something to that effect?
Should I put full faith in Takara, what with the rumors of the next MP's all being Autobots with no Megs V2 in sight? Oh first world problems.....

Remember years ago when Walmart stores carried MP Starscream and MP Skywarp.
Think walmart in America sold MP Starscream for $39.99.
Could be wrong, But I think Walmart in America first sold MP Skywarp for $49.99. Then during the Christmas season the toy kept getting reduced. Months later Walmart sold MP Skywarp for $15. Remember buying one for $15 at a nearby Walmart store.
Then when TRU stores in America starting selling the MP Seeker toys. They wanted around $60 or $70.
Well, I suppose it's not really about *NOT* supporting 3P MP's, and more about if I'm adding to my MP collection I want it to be official merchandise. And if Takara needs support (and encouragement to continue) anywhere, it's the MP line.Ironhidensh wrote:Genuinely curious here, why would you not want to support 3rd party transformers?

Exactly - it's not about *NOT* supporting 3rd Parties, but rather ensuring that any such support doesn't come at the expense of supporting official product. Especially for something as precious as the MP line.

The one that boggles my mind is that 3P MP Sunstreaker coming out. It doesn't have the same aesthetics as official MP's, and why not just wait? TT has the Lambo license, it's just a matter of time.
Tsutsukakushi wrote:Why wait, When some 3rd parties are charging the same or less for similar Takara MP TF scaled toys.
What if I wait and the Takara V2 is worse or similar to MP-05?
At least right now, I can see X-T Megatron is a great toy.
Don't think Takara has any immediate plans to make a V2 G1 MP Megatron. Think doing a G1 MP Galvatron will be Takara's V2 Megatron as it's always been the characters upgraded toy.
Two years later, Quakewave is selling for almost $1,000. Not willing to wait years for X-T Megatron to also sell for $1,000.

I guess I'm not a loyalist. My money goes to the company making the product I want. Also, whenever Takara does do a MP Sunstreaker, I'd be willing to bet it is simply a Siseswipe repaint with a new head. I have zero faith in either Has to or Takara making an original Sunstreaker toy.
Besides, if an official figure does ever come out. I'll still probally pick it up. I'm just not going to pass up a figure that I like, to sit and wait to see if something else will come out from the official line.

I guess I'm at the point now that I've realized other companies are making high quality toys based on characters I like. If there is a good version for me that fits what I'm looking for I'll get it. I just didn't think Quakewave would go so fast, which is why I have Apollyon pre-ordered. If HasTak makes a new version I'll get it to support the main line too as was stated earlier.

Yeah, I just did a quickie eBay search and Apollyon preorders are already going for 200+ bucks. That settled it. BBTS preorder has been made.

That's a pretty silly thing to say.
