I'd bite on both Acid Storm and Sunstorm if they were priced at a reasonable $50. Heck, I might even go the full $75 if they'd do a decent US Starscream. But really... the uniqueness of the mold is gone.

Holy sticker shock, Batman!
MP Acid Storm was what, $70-75?
And to think some people say that the $60 price for MP Prowl @ TRU has got to be wrong, that it's got to be less.

I have the Takara version, but would pick up this TRU release... if only to demonstrate Takara's plastic quality and general superiority.
Do people think the price increase is arbitrary, or that the coronation gear is included?

Acidstorm is still $86.99 as well though, at least in my current store.

Comments like this kill me because I have MP-11 and Hasbro TC and Acid Storm and you can't tell the difference between the three.

Of course. Now that I already shelled out the money import the masterpiece MP-11 Starscream, there's no way it won't be released stateside for much less

The price for Prowl is probably about right as your dealing with an official license from Nissan, which is why Sideswipe cant be released due to licensing issues.
The jet mold for the Seekers isn't licensed so you get more toy for your money.

If it has the proper Sunstorm creamsicle colors, color me interested. But I'm still disappointed at no MP Optimus rerelease or Starscream and Skywarp. Seriously, with Sunstorm Hasbro has released 3 of these seekers. We could've had a hasbro released Seeker trio by now

Hasbro released their MP Starscream back in 2007 and MP Skywarp back in 2009, even if the mold has been retooled since then.welcometothedarksyde wrote:If it has the proper Sunstorm creamsicle colors, color me interested.
