ALL THINGS TRANSFORMERS!!!!

[Niltusk]

Are these not the exact same ones that are landing in retail in a few weeks?

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Transforme...2605?pt=US_Action_Figures&hash=item51afa737ed

Is this just feeding frenzy of getting it a few weeks early or is there something different with these?

4 of them ending in the next few hours, all above $225 already.

This is why toys are so expensive these days.

 

[Gakken85]

Some have sold for 300.
One just sold for 260 that I saw.

We all know they're not worth that much so be patient and wait for Toys R US

Preliminary results are in for that Takara fan choice pull for the next masterpiece. Results are surprising, to say the least. Note that the poll is NOT YET over, this is just an interim report.

1st place: Star Saber
2nd place: Armada Optimus Prime
3rd place: Dai Atlas

I figured Star Saber would be one of the popular ones, but Armada Optimus? I never would have guessed that! The Japanese really DO love Minicons and everything that has to do with it.

Star Saber or Dai Atlas would be great.

Anything but another f'ing Prime

 

[Ra88]

I thought you didn't give a **** about Japanese figures.

 

[Jaycepticon]

Hell yeah. Masterpiece Star Saber, my dream TF

 

[thecorsair]

Generally speaking, I don't.

But I care even less about Prime so I really don't want to see yet another version of the character get a Masterpiece.

Have seen that people just cant wait my buddy has repeats of mp 10 and he is a trade only guy, i buy to enjoy but i resell shoes to pay for the mp, but if i had mp soundwave now i wouldn't sell

So apparently MP Soundwave is starting to hit stores and was found at a TRU in Arizona.

I hope the suckers paying 300 bucks a pop see them in their local TRU this weekend.

As far as the Star Sabre guy, I am totally unfamiliar with him, he has a Gundam vibe imo and I am kinda hoping he wins, cause I'd like to see how he comes out as a MP figure.

Shame about the contents

Metroplex may break records in terms of height, but it's one ugly looking 'bot.

You think? I dunno... I think it's okay. Not great. Certainly not worth paying the Ebay prices.

The biggest factor for me is size. I really just don't have the room for one. I mean, sure, I could FIND the room, but then he'd dominate the collection. And as much as I like Transformers, they're really only a small part of what I'm into - and still threaten to take over. I want people to come in and see my collection, and kind of "take it all in" as it were, without a three-foot Metroplex being the focal point.

So yeah, I'll probably pass on even the retail version.

 

[Jaycepticon]

I thought he looked pretty boring but when posed, I get so tempted to pick one up.

 

[Niltusk]

I think the Metroplex looks great, but I really love the video game version of him.

Apparently California as well.

Got my Hasbro Soundwave pack today. I must say its almost spot on with Takaras version. The quality is pretty much the same but Takaras version looks a bit nicer do to the extra paint apps. No defects to report either,everything looks and works as it should. The only thing that bugs me about it is the visor. Its not the flat yellow like in the proto pics but rather a semi clear yellow just as MP10's waist area. You can see the little circular patterns(same as MP10's waist) through the visor if you look close enough. But overall this is a excellent package and well worth the price!

 

[Furyan]

A couple quick shots of Hasbro MP Soundwave and his minions.

Metroplex should have bulk to go with his height, he's too skinny, particularly the torso area.

Furyan,
I see that the piss yellow visor is intact.

Hasbro's Photoshop skills strike again

 

[Rock83]

Any difference between all these Metroplex releases?

There is one for even 110$ that looks the same too.
