Lots of New March Japanese Magazine Scans

i might get grimlock

should i splash out £45 for that inferno fig, for just the comic book? im so confused!

might get grimlock in a few years, im not a G1 fan nor a Grimlock fan, ill pay for it when its cheeper or when ive seen it on reviews, im not pre ordering him, my olny masterpiece should only be megatron, if only dont do a soundwave, hound, inferno or a ironhide

Sorry to say that I personaly prefer Grimlock's sleeker Classics design over the standing tall and/or wide G1 and Animated looks, so this masterpiece isn't going to help get me into that line any more than the previous masterpiece figures did. Alternity looks to have just as much foreboding as it's predecessor line, thusly I am not very enthused. As for the Henkei figs... I'd be more interested if I could see pictures with some majorly notable differences from the American counterparts, like DOES HOT SHOT COME WITH THOSE COOL ASS GUNS OR NOT?!

I want everything on there except Mickey.

I've read that because the went the sword route, they're dropping the gun. It was originally planned-thus the image of it-but ain't happening now-thus the fact that we've never actually seen it. It's going to be a big let down if it's true.

He will never be cheaper. Masterpiece figures don't decrease in value. If you're lucky Grimmy will maintain his value. If you're unlucky he will shoot up to $200 or more. Holding out for a price drop on a Masterpiece is a waste of time. Sceptical or disinterested is one thing bargain hunting is another.

Don't know about the secondary market but at point of sale Ultra Magnus and Starscream have had their prices slashed.

I will NOT have my giant alien robot death machine wearing an apron damnit!!

What's up with Henkei Ratchet though? He's been delayed a couple times and he's been presented with two different gun colors - chrome & black.

At least he's been "officially" announced, in the form of a sillouette in Cyclonus' mini-manga.

Bumblebeast wrote:Yup. I just got an Starscream MP figure for only US$ 49. Once the demand from collectors is satisfied, prices drop.

If you're referring to the Hasbro/US release, wasn't that his original cost?

If it was the gray one and someone let it go at that price, you did get a deal.
