They only major difference is that Toynami are calling these Masterpieces. Yamato is just having them as regular figures. If I buy a Ford (Yamato) I expect some issues. But when I buy a so called BMW (MPC) the issues should not be there. Even with the issues on the 1/60 and 1/72 I never regreted buying them. I understand too that Yamato's have thier issues but when the last time you seen massive returns on them like the MPC's. Gamestops had to put some of the last MPC's on clearence to get rid of them. I think some got them as low as $10.
I guess they are not taking any more chances.
I can understand that, I got an Alpha Poseable for $2.50 a few weeks ago at Game Stop.
Well since Harmony has exclusive rights to Mospeada worldwide, Toynami is the only game in town.
