For those waiting for a cheaper price on Amazon Japan, there won't be one since this is a TTMall exclusive. Which means that the only seller in Japan is TTMall and any seller in the US will be selling the Hasbro release instead which will be identical both in looks and price (give or take). Here are the accessories this release comes with:
Null Beam cannon (x2)
Replacement face (surprise) (x1)
Replacement face (smile) (x1)
Replacement face (ridiculous) (x1)
Effect parts (A) (x1)
Effect parts (B) (x2)
Effect parts (C) (x1)
Effect parts (D) (x1)
Adapter (x1)
Display base (base A) (x1)
Display (base B) (1)
Support (x1)
Character card (x1)
Instruction manual (x1)
The toy is coming out in September 2021.

The price aint so bad at BBTS

I saw the Entertainment Earth ad and ended up ordering one there, came to $255 after tax and free shipping (BBTS would be $257 after tax and $4 shipping). I wonder why Thundercracker is so much cheaper from Hasbro this time around? Looking forward to seeing what the Pulse price ends up being.

Look away Nemesis! I can't lose another friend to the folly.

I was going to post that about the numbers myself

Anyone who truly want or even barely want the newest MP Thundercracker should preorder ASAP. Because historically, that one always have some serious price hikes on the secondary market once it's officially sold out.

No, they just got MP-11T and MP-11SW.ZeroWolf wrote:Nemesis Maximo wrote:So if this is 52+, will Skywarp be 52B, 52-, or 52++? Prowl, Smokescreen, and Bluestreak all got their own numbers didn’t they? So why shouldn’t the Seekers? Why is the numbering so egregiously whack?

I was going to post that about the numbers myselfwas Thundercracker and Skywarp given their own numbers when based off the mp11 mold?
And I will say the same here as I said about Screamer. The chest (and the price!) just kills it for me. Too bad, TC has always been my favorite Seeker, love that blue. But I maintain the MP-11 mold was near perfection, and this is at best a lateral move.

Will be interesting to see what Skywarp version 2.0 is.

40$ is a deal breaker on a high end figure like this?

Ha!
That's what we Canucks have to pay extra for anything from Hasbro Pulse. From a toothpick to a fridge.

It's just how they do exclusives now, with a "+". For example, Sunstreaker is 39 and Cordon was 42, but Spin-out is 39+ as a TTM exclusive. No "+" has been sold at regular retail before and the only exclusive to get a unique number is MP-711, but that was more like a joke. They did use a letter for the Atmos Prime (10SL), but otherwise they've been sticking to the "+" since 2018. If Thundercracker is a "+" that might mean Skywarp will be retail.

Since I'm located in Switzerland, after shipping and taxes it's more like a $100-150 difference to Starscream

Ah.
I knew it was some Europe thing. You guys really get the short end of the stick when it come to imports.
Are Takara Tomy Mail exclusives on sale at Amazon.jp? Because for this here Canadian, it's always the cheapest option for Japanese exclusives. Especially when counting taxes and shipping.

They're not. But Amazon.jp isn't shipping to Switzerland anyways, so doesn't really matter. But yeah, collecting TFs over here really isn't an easy feat. I'm stuck importing pretty much anything from overseas, meaning spending $40 for a mainline deluxe is pretty much the norm

Are you sure about that? Check the box for "Allow international shipping" and see how it goes. The link I provided should have the box already checked.
There's many Amazon.jp vendors that don't ship to Canada either, but if I check the box, it filter them out.

Sideswipe mp12+ was not exclusive.

Neither was wheeljack.
So further evidence that the numbers mean nothing.
