Retail Masterpiece and Metroplex Prices Revealed in Canadian TRU SKUs

Given the scale, Metroplex seems reasonably priced. (hell I paid just as much for Omega Supreme).

The bigger stumbling block is where would I keep him.

Metroplex is only $100!? WHAT?! I thought that thing was going to be like, I dunno, $200! Considering the scale, and Hasbro's cheapness, that thing is a steal!

Gosh dangit.

Looks like I can't have both Acid Storm and Soundwave. Both characters I like... Sour grapes.

how the hell is soundwave 20 dollars more than metroplex?

weird.

Better materials, more parts (unconfirmed), all 5 cassettes... all adds up to more labour and assembly costs.

METROPLEX IS ONLY $100.....I was expecting $160 min and that was me dreaming....Hopefully he will be easier to find than the Masterpiece Prime

i knew the mps would be overpriced, hopefully soundwaves high price point will make it a shelf warmer and ill have time to save up the money. I am a bit surprised at metroplex only be $100, thought he was going to be $125 or more. Still going to pass on him though especially since soundwave is so damn much.

Metroplex was mentioned at Toyfair for $125. If TRU gets it, you can bet they will raise the price from $99.00 to $120.00 or higher like they did with the MP-10 Optimus. My store only got 4 total during Christmas and was selling them higher than the sku price of $99 so dont get to excited my fellow fans if your hunting for him at TRU.

Sweet happy to hear prices wont make me sell a kidney to get metroplex. Now I just pray its not a tru exclusive.

Now *that* would be a disaster, especially for all non-US fans. Given the shipping costs and having to hunt it down on the secondary market then...*shudders*

We'll see.

Just grab the Takara version, there's enough Asia-based western oriented online stores that make it easy to do so.

prices are better than i expected. i thought metroplex would be 125, and i was thinking soundwave would be more. awesome. cant wait to get them.
