Mechapilot77 Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 why not just get the asia exclusive one that just came out? its not priced as rapey as other asia exclusive releases (just $50 more than when mp-10 first came out) and from initial reports quality is on par with the original release (well the oriignal 2 releases as it was released twice about a year apart) and you get get a dorky stand. now the the year of the horse release is different altogether....that is the bling bling one. no thnx on that.

skullmilitia Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Don't jump too quick, BBTS said both MP-10 YOTH and King Starscream are becoming Retailer exclusives in 2014. BBTS also said they'll open preorders in Janurary, and MP-10 YOTH with clear trailer will be 120$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hingtgen Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Honestly, go with the coming KO. If it's got all the improvements they say it does, it may be the best version, period. I'm thinking about getting one just to swap parts with my official one, and make an "ultimate" MP Prime. Since Takara or Hasbro obviously don't want our money. "Hey, it sold out in 10 secs" "yeah, so make sure you don't make any more". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uxi Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 For all the "big complex recent" Primes, the wheels/tires are especially wrong, and screws up the proportions a lot. Also overall chassis length. They are "compressed" length-wise. MP10 could really benefit from having the legs be longer and less bulky for truck mode, that's for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a thread on tfworld about it, with links to a Chinese page that says 400 yuan. About $66. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M'Kyuun Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 My interest in MP-10 didn't come to the fore until it was too late to get one through TRU, so this may be promising. Still don't like the rear wheel wells or the covers in bot mode. They could mod those out too, IMHO. Going back a page or so, I like the G1ness of that IDW Whirl, and hope there's an equally G1ish Roadbuster in the works. I have an old 80's Convertors Mugen Calibur toy, and I've wanted a fully poseable and transformable version of it ever since. My 80's version transforms, but it's a brick in bot mode (shoulders swivel, that's it). As for Whirl's Gerwalk mode, I generally find Gerwalk pointless, but it looks good here and I especially like the Macross reference. Wonder if HG will try to sue?

Guest davidwhangchoi Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 I just got my prowl and streak from hlj in the mail today. Im at fiveguys with the shipping brown box in hand. Nice pic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gakken85 Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Damn that's ugly. haha I dig the box though! Beats the old hasbro box by a mile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenius Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Agreed, major box improvement. Too bad it's not just a true reissue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gakken85 Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Looks like they realized they could save some volume of space by opening up the cab. Too bad it took them so many releases to figure that out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skullmilitia Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 I'd rather get the KO with the fixes. Like it matters, Takara will redo Prime again down the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeszekely Posted December 1, 2013 Author Share Posted December 1, 2013 Damn that's ugly. hahaI wouldn't mind the gold Autobot insignia, if they weren't mismatched. Otherwise, the gold is just awful. It's kind of a shame, though. I actually kinda dig the red crotch lights, blue energon axe, and blue abdomen. It'd almost make a good Pepsi Convoy...

mikeszekely Posted December 13, 2013 Author Share Posted December 13, 2013 Even though my love of Transformers stems from growing up with G1, I hesitated. Thing is, while I love G1, I don't really collect the toys or reissues of the toys because even the worst CHUGs are often better representations of the characters with better articulation that the bricks that G1 Transformers were. While $49.99 was a great price, I couldn't convince myself that I actually have a spot for a G1 reissue Predaking in my collection. I guess I missed my chance now anyway.

Guest davidwhangchoi Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 i never owned predaking bc it was too expensive so i took the plunge. this price was cheaper than when i was a kid so i had to grab it. i almost got one for 75 bucks used when i saw it again secondhand as a kid but i passed. if i can pay 30 for sideswipe ko, i think this is so much more.
