New Details Regarding MP-11s Sunstorm and Encore Sixshot

Hmm, the box sounds nice.

And I DO want Sixshot.

But $150? That may be a deal breaker.

At least I have time to think on it.

Does TT seriously justify a $150 price tag on a $75 toy just for a leather case??

I was excited to hear about this release, but now... I may well have to wait for Sixshot to go to clearance. The only G1 reissue worth $150 is Fort Max.

It's not TakaraTomy's fault, but the weak Yen against the Dollar. Normally it should be roughly 100 Yen for 1 Dollar.

Pretty disappointed re the six shot price..granted he's a large figure but considering he's a reissue

He's always been very high on my list of must haves and was looking forward to having him but I cannot justify that price...

$150 for Sixshot !!!!!!!!!!!!!

I want some of whatever theyre smoking !!! Heres a complete original G1 sixshot for $98.00 for those truly interested:

Ill just wait for Hexagon.

As far as Sunstorm, it's nice to see they got the colors right this time. But Sunstorm is already last years hype. As far as Im concerned, 3rd parties "own" Sunstorm.

I would like to make everyone aware, when I posted this story, I confused the information, the article has been updated. the 1000 piece limit is for Japan. There will be a mass release in Asia, whatever that means. The informant asked me to clarify. I apologize for the confusion.

Personally, $25 Wal-Mart exclusive on the discount shelf is the only way I would pay for MP Sunstorm.

Yeah, problem is that auction is by Wheeljack's Lab. And NOBODY should buy from Wheeljack's Lab. I've heard many a story of him ripping people off on there. Plus, I despise the act of piecemealing out a complete figure just so you can squeeze a few more bucks out of it. Nobody looking for say a complete BW original Rattrap should have to go through the trouble of having to buying 10 separate auctions just to get the whole figure. This isn't a fucking G1 gestalt like Menasor or even Monstructor! This is mother fucking Rattrap! Nobody will/should have to buy "Rattrap's right foot", "Rattrap's left foot", "Rattrap's right leg", "Rattrap's left leg", "Rattrap's right arm", etc. etc. etc. FFFFFF! I hate that practice and I hate Wheeljack's Lab!

I just bought a complete Punch-Counterpunch from wheeljackslab and I had no problems. I see that he has a 99.6% positive feedback rating on over 50,000 auctions. Also, the Sixshot auction we're talking about is for a 100% complete toy, nothing piecemeal.

I already have G1 Sixshot, but Movie Masterpiece-style packaging? WTF? That would be really annoying, not having G1-style packaging.

From what I can make of it, Sixshot's gonna have leather pants. Yeah, baby.

If TTakara say that the majority of their business is the adult collectors then 1000 is nothing, why even bother! By the time importers etc get a cut of the 1000 that's not much left for the punters in Japan.

Both Has and TT really seem to know how to piss off their fans.

Considering iGear already released theirs for $50 cheaper (and I'm sure that $150 doesn't even include the US store mark-up!) I don't see this flying off the shelves. Not to mention the update where that 1000 is only for Japan. I'd put my money on these hitting the clearance racks...
