Lucky me I didn't buy MP Skywarp yet, now I'll wait for this one! :grin:

And also HA Barricade is on my most wanted list (Soundwave is quite ugly).

Can you tell I'm excited? We'll finally have updated MP-11 versions of all three Seeker Aces!

Huh, interesting. Neither are reissues in the true sense of the word:

- Skywarp uses the retooled MP-11 mold, and has a designation to match: MP-11SW. So it's more akin to a specialised redeco.
- HA Barricade and HA Soundwave may not be reissues either, but redecos as well: the set is designated APS-03, as the third release of the "Asia Premium Series" that previously had Striker Optimus and Leader Brawl. (anybody remember those?)

Well played.

So Skywarp is going to be an Asia release? Not for Japan? Want to make sure I can get it from the Japanese retailers and not the HK retailers... those guy charge too much for shipping.

i'd really like a skywarp along the lines of the new starscream, but no way is he worth 200 to me.

Asia Reissue Starscream was $200...

I would love it cheaper, and it may go on sale, but $200 doesn't seem entirely unreasonable.

Starscream has a cape! this thing has a rectangle! Actually if they just give us a plastic rectangle box.... I'm kind of okay with it. I need shelf raisers anyway

At first I thought those were :G2CON:

symbols on Skywarp, but if I look at it at an angle, I can see that they are not. It's a shame that Takara didn't put that kind of twist on Skywarp like they do on their other figures.

Transformers Asia is owned by neither Hasbro nor Takara Tomy, they're an independent group that sources their exclusives from both companies. I guess their location puts them in a unique position to do so.

I couldn't bring myself to pay that much for Starscream, and he's one of my favourite characters.

Hoping for a Japanese re-release of Screamer, they are cheaper by 50% (¥10,400 / $96.)

Someone may already have pointed it out, but that Skywarp is NOT a re-issue. Not if he's using the MP-11 mold. It would be if they were still using the MP-03 mold for some random reason.

I'm pretty my HA Barricade is a KO. I bought it for only 15$ + ship brand new when the real one was going for 200$+. However, that KO is of such great quality, it's impossible to tell that it's a fake. So I'm good.

My HA Soundwave is a real one. Paid the full 60$ + ship at the time. Still no regrets because that mold is amazing. People, if you missed out, now's your chance.

That's quite a normal price for an Asian MP seeker. Personally, I agree that's overpriced. I bought MP-11 Screamers for 200$ shipped and even with the coronation set, I still overpaid. The overall quality of that mold is worth 120$ top, not 200$.

So Skywarp finally gets an MP-11 mold figure and it's not even a main-line numbered MP release, just a "reissue" (even though it doesn't use the Kawamori mold)?

Poor Skywarp, always getting the shaft. Someone needs to give poor old Warpy some love.

who cares?.. it's getting made in the "new" mold, with an accurate color scheme, so what if it's not a new number?

New images have surfaced on TFClub.com of one of the Hasbro Asia Transformers Masterpiece re-issues - warm up your warp engines, and check out MP-11SW Skywarp below in regal black and purple, including the collector coin, and accessories gun-mode Megatron and Dr Arkeville mini figure. Compare, if you will, these images with previous releases of the same character in the Masterpiece line, too.

I would actually like to pick up an HA Soundwave since I missed it in stores. I really think they did a good job with that.

Skywarp is going to be a bit out of my price league these days. Just can't justify that kind of money on a figure I have two of, even with it being the new mold. But Maybe I can figure out something........

This won't be going on sale, the other Asia exclusive MPs have only gone up in price since their release. On top of that, this is Skywarp based on the more show accurate version of the mold.

Yeah, I somehow managed to miss this until yesterday, so I bit and pre-ordered it from RK, cheaper than any other place I found it at, 210 dollars including shipping. I feel really, really sad and dirty that this cost me more before shipping than MP Ultra Magnus did including shipping. :BANG_HEAD:

At least I have a full set of Seekers now, and won't have to get one till the Coneheads finally show up.

I definitely felt like the 200 bucks for MP-11SW was kind of a moneygrab, but unless Hasbro releases him over here (which seems unlikely considering he's exclusive) that the cost it takes to be the boss.

I won't be able to get him in the initial release as my money is tied up getting Ultra Magnus. I have to pace myself with the Masterpiece releases, although I do have something in the works to possibly come up with the extra cash to get him sooner. THat's a "we'll see", though.

When someone finally buy and receive him, I wanna know if the chest locking issue have been fixed. I mean, the chest lock perfectly on MP-03, but it's floppy on MP-11.

Huh? The Hasbro Asia MP reissues so far are Starscream and OP, both of which are still widely available. SS in particular has been on sale a bunch of times.

Skywarp is a special case, and 'hardcore' collectors like most of us here consider him a necessity, but I'm not sure we're representative of the market here, especially with the prohibitive price point.

Kinda does.

Ya know, the more I look at the MP Seeker mold, the more I realize how truly awesome the Classics Seeker mold is. The Masterpiece mold is almost 2000% (!) of the cost of a Classics Seeker figure, and it still isn't any better as far as proportion and accuracy. Sure it is smaller, but it is truly amazing.

Don't forget Grimlock, Grimlock in his sweet ass box.
SS went on sale? Hm, so I misjudged these then, must just be bias due to how high the initial import costs are. I should check ebay more often then, the last time I checked out the Asia MP reissues, they where still at their 220 price point.
