I thought about starting this with him again, seeing as how this is how MP-32 went for a while, but I know he's just gonna wait and get the eventual release that has the mutant mask and some medieval skull weapon or something.

I need to get MP-32 now. I think this seals my MP-36+ pre-order cancellation

Cobs, I'm actually going to suggest you pass on him. There'll be another release, probably toy colors with mutant mask, and it'll pair up much better with your Supreme Commander ;)

I think you and I are about to go opposite ways on our Megatron pre-order vs. not pre-order :lol: :lol:

But really though, I totally see you waiting on a version with the mutant mask to go with MP-38, even if Megatron didn't appear in the movie that Primal was based on (I think I got that right)

I’m going with AmiAmi, they have him on preorder for the yen equivalent of $240. That’s something I can personally justify. Better than $320, anyway. I’m doing the same with Dinobot, it’ll save me around $40-50.

Meanwhile, for the UK, Kapow Toys Pre-Order has dropped!

Regular RRP £270, pre-order price £225, 10% deposit £22.50

Release January 2019

The Link

Sold! Not as much of a price hike as I was expecting to be honest.

Nippon Yassan has him at only $212 USD plus unlike Amazon, they help you with customs by not putting a high price. So thats where I will be going. IN the end, he will not be my priciest TF purchase afterall (honour goes to Encore Fort Max!)

The price is largely irrelevant to me as I decided to support the whole line. With one exception so far being the repaint of Optimus Primal. MP-32 is superior, so there is no need to buy MP-38 at all.

Wow. That’s a crazy good price for Megatron. Wonder how their shipping prices are. I’ve never heard of them before, but they’ve got some decent prices, and a good selection. I might have to try them out later in the year.

For now, I went with my gut and preordered from Amiami as soon as I was able to. First time ordering from them. Turns out their price is better than my usual go-to HLJ, so I’m not disappointed.

HLJs price of $240, while still high, fits in my $250 limit.

The shipping they charge is like 5,000 JPY = $45 for the lowest registered option, I did the test on their site haha

Yes, the rubber duck was a Season 2 thing.

But since Season 1 Megatron (the biggest character of Season 1) was designed to be the cornerstone that all of the BW Masterpieces would be designed around, Transmetals of anyone likely aren't gonna happen.

Not to mention how Japan just simply gives no beans about Transmetals. It's ironic, when you think about it. The two more popular seasons of the show in the West were the least popular ones in Japan. Japan only really cares about BW Season 1 and... maybe Lio Convoy.

Those are repaints, so its irrelevant. A real comparison would bethe odds of getting a Transmetal MP compared to a G1 original mold like Dreadwing.

Not the best example... since they're just simple repaints for them to cash in a quick buck on. Now if they made an original mold for a G2 figure then... :-?

That Japanese interview about MP BW Megatron said that BW Megatron was designed to be the figure around which all of the BW MPs would be designed in terms of size and scale, with comparison charts made for the characters based on how they appeared alongside Megatron in the show. None of the Transmetals were ever shown alongside Season 1 Megatron.

I still dont see how that confirms anything. I see it that MP BW Megatron is the one they chose to base the scale on of all the characters. So Dinobot, for instance, is made to be in scale that way. But then you can simply use Dinobot as a scale for the transmetals, which would still make season 1 Megs the main scale since every other scale is derived from him.

I think what he's trying to get across is that the Transmetals are generally larger characters than the season 1 guys, and because S1 Megatron is what all characters in the BW line are scaled around, a lot of the MP Transmetal characters, if made, would be larger and thus more expensive than MP-43 (take Rampage, for example).

I imagine that someday, years from now, we will get TM MPs. But let's wait until we get the entire season 1 cast first, even if Megs, Dinobot, and a reissued Primal are the only 3 MPs I plan to get from BW

Being the figure that everything else is scaled around isn't the same as being the ceiling of the line. Plus I would think a TM would be cheaper even if it's bigger because there's really no need to do sound chips in another Megatron and the transformations for TM characters are faaaar more straightforward than the season 1 designs meaning less panels and a smaller parts count.

We have word from Seibertron himself that online stock retailer Entertainment Earth has also put up pre-order listings for the Takara Tomy Transformers Masterpiece MP-43 Beast Wars Megatron figure, with no due date give, and a price of 319.99 USD (and free US shipping). If this is the stateside price point, will it deter or confirm your purchase of the figure? Let us know in the Energon Pub discussion thread!

Have you just found the most exciting Beast Wars toy? Yesssss! The wise and let's say benevolent Predacon commander Megatron is here in his original dinosaur mode, complete with swappable faces and cool accessories. He's got a toothbrush. He has his "yesssss" face. He has blast effects, plus some removable kibble and a swell display stand. You won't want to miss this plastic and die-cast metal robot from Cybertron, noooo. Order yours today!

If this is the stateside price point, will it deter or confirm your purchase of the figure?
Deter. 100% deter. I've got to put my foot down at some price point, and I think 300 bucks is about it.

It can be preordered for less if you look around.

Anime Export has him at $237 USD. You’re going to pay shipping through the wazoo but they also have a reissue MP Primal for $81 so combine shipping and pick them both up for about 300. I’m just bummed I didn’t also pick up dinobot for $180
