Master Piece Rodimus Prime out in UK retail

Nothing in the instructions I take it?

Mrs. S said I could have one as my consolation for missing AA, I had held out for the Hasbro one as I couldnt justify the extra £60, just for the trailer. The Firebolt is neat, but I can see why people don't like the colour scheme.

At least it made some significant difference between the Hasbro and the Takara one.

Not that I can see.

This is the first Masterpiece figure where I havent bought the Takara version, the prices are just getting stupid now when you consider that Prime, Megatron and Starscream etc were sub £100.

Cheers pretender skywarp for that. I'm heading to TRU for the little ones birthday present tomorrow so may have to take a detour down the TF aisle and see if he is there. Only thing is I'm still leaning more towards the TT version for the full Rodimus experience.

Actually after seeing those pictures I think I'll pass.

In my opinion they have completely ruined him by not painting his face and hands, that really was a big fail. Not including the trailer was a mistake as well, and for that they're charging £60!

I have to say, it doesn't look much on the shelves, especially when compared to the leader class figs. £50 would have probably been a more appropriate price point.

Toys r us Germany sell him now as well for 60 euro

Im trying to transform him and he's about to go out the window. I cant get his hands to hide away neatly, the connector pieces for his feet are in the way.

Update: Oh no, its done. Wow, they are a fiddle. Had to made sure the feet connector pieces were as far as they can be to the centre of the car.

QC Issue. My figure is missins some orange paint from the piece that sits between the engin and the windscreen in vehicle mode. Looks like its painted clear blue plastic. I dont think you can see that part in bot mode when its in the box.

bought MP rodimus and MP grimlock last night in sheffield Toys'r'us. (tried adding sightings page, but it wouldn't let me)

Grimlocks mint, the transformation is very much like his G1 version, but its grimlock, so still great! (though there is a rattle in his right foot, cant find any screws missing, but might take him back and see if i can get some money back)

Also got rodimus, smaller, hard transformation, really got stressed and just put him back in his package and on display. offshoot however is great. (when turning rodi into his car, flip the hands around so you have the welder/buzzsaw holders outside the arm, its not shown in the instructions, but makes it alot easier)

Interesting bit of information mine has #32125 on the inside of rodi's leg and on offshots, is this numbering individual or just a referance for the models? Just wondered if they've tried to match them up.

Overall still far happier with my takara MP01 prime.

No MP Rodimus at Clifton Moor TRU at all, but quite a few MP Grimlock instead, so I bagged one. yeto get him out of the box but it looks good to me.

Decision made, TT MP Rodimus it is then!!

There is one (yes a whole 1!) in the TRU Croydon if anyone is interested. I was thinking about getting one to keep in the box....and then I actually looked at the box and decided to stick to my "60notes is TOO much" for more than 1 policy and walk on by.

I somehow doubt there are 32,000 of these things - you'll be lucky if you shift 2,000 at full price in this country - maybe that's the worldwide total......or a meaningless serial number.

Waiting for MP Grimlock to go on sale before I pick up another one of him. TRU has a bunch of them just sitting there and you just know they are putting off cutting the price on them.......
