Image of the Masterpiece MP-711 Convoy Collector Card

I'm still not convinced this isn't a prank. I want a white Prime to be Magnus but this smells like... well like a 7-11.

Though their Cheeseburger Dogs are the BEST.

Just like the recent Pioneer earphones, Takara is smoking crack if it thinks it can charge the price for either of these releases. The KO version is BOUND to come out later on and will be a fraction of the cost and the same, if not better quality.

So you're not into it, thats clear. But I'll say for the 3rd time, the KO MP-10 is NOT a high quality figure.

I'm actually into this official set, due to my high shopping rate at 7-11 Japan. The price is disgusting though, IMO, hence the desire for a more affordable KO.

However, even if the quality is a bit off, it's no problem for me, as I've got the original, G1 official version.


Anyway, here's a review of one such KO to help give a better picture of KO quality. I can't remember how it fared so it's here for either side of the argument.

I know nothing of the MPP10's, as I don't own any or done any research. But I do have one KO MP-10 (the White Magnus) and it's awful. And If you watch the video you posted, at 5:15 he starts talking for a couple minutes about how it looks good, but feels dodgy. He also stands it next to his Hasbro MP-10 saying it's much more solid in comparison, but his (official) MP-10SG is actually worst of the three. My MP-10SG is fine though, and I haven't heard anything negative about the QC on that version elsewhere.

As for the price though.... it's an exclusive. They're expensive, it's their nature. And actually, you of all people have the least to complain about supposedly having one in your backyard being run by a friend

This new TF, though, is not, to my knowledge, sold in brick and mortar shops, but only online. The expensive BAPE tfs may have been expensive due to the brand's upmarket expensive image. However, 7-11 isn't an expensive brand. This is why I believe it's too expensive. That's why I'm going to get the KO.

It's only ¥3,000 more than a normal MP-10, that seems reasonable for a special limited store exclusive. It's also the same price as MP-10 Convoy Mode "Eva". Sure, it sucks that you have to pay full retail, but that's expecting too much for an item with no retail competition.

It's still a better deal than BAPE Convoy, those are ¥5,000 more than retail on a lower cost figure.

Swiped from Daimchoc. Where it's actually from.... I'm not sure

Since this summer, we had seen very little in terms of the Takara Tomy Transformers Masterpiece MP-10 7-11 edition, a white redeco (totally not Ultra Magnus) of the base Optimus Prime / Convoy mold with the chain's green, orange and red logo and theme.

Thanks now to Japanese toy Twitter users pcwr_Etchy and Alfes2010, we have some actual in hand images to share with you all! The images have been mirrored below for your viewing convenience, and show the figure in its package, robot mode, and the trailer being used by a variety of Transformers Masterpiece characters, such as Megatron, Spike, Hot Rodimus and more. Check them all out, and let us know what you think in the discussion!

1st off, what is Megatron Holding?

So I would buy this if it was released here. I wouldn't want to pay the import price, but if it was released officially I would love to get it.

It looks like the Evasion Mode OP gun.

It looks so ugly but I want it....
