Don't forget that Amazon isn't afraid to price match, so there's a definite possibility that they'll drop their price to 110 by the beginning of August as well.

Speaking of TRU, there's a slight silver lining to the whole Masterpiece fiasco: apparently they're giving out 10% coupons for your next eBay order from them if you're one of the ones who attempted to purchase a Soundwave and/or Acid Storm. The best part? Nothing's stopping you from using said coupon when you actually re-order them on the 18th...

Am I the only one who isn't really that excited for Metroplex? I mean, I've never been a price speculator, it's so large that finding a proper display for it at my place will be near-impossible, the weight would probably make posing tricky as well, and the alt-modes are... yeah. It's nice that it's happening, but I don't get the insane rush/desire for it.

Keldroc posted:So would I, frankly, because that would fill a gap in the G1 collection and not waste a Masterpiece slot on such a minor (to this US fan) character. To be fair, going by the distribution methods the US is far from the primary market for the Masterpiece line. Hell, Australia seems to be a higher priority somehow.

Oh, that we agree on sure, but a MP Head/Brainmaster with a base mode, Saber's sword drawing shenanigans and possibly even a combination mode with (REAL long shot) MP Victory Leo would be a lot of firsts for the line. From an engineering standpoint alone it's a must-have. 404GoonNotFound fucked around with this message at 05:18 on Jul 24, 2013 |

Maybe now that a company with some actual stateside muscle is being bullied around Harmony Gold will get the poo poo kicked out of them. Meanwhile, I just noticed that my MP Soundwave is missing a paint app (namely the gold trim on his left let) but I do not give a gently caress this is somehow even better than MP-10 oh god. vvvvvvv The SDCC GI Joe vs. Transformers boxset. Which is even less ground to stand on since it's just a regular jet done up in Jetfire's color scheme and doesn't even transform. 404GoonNotFound fucked around with this message at 18:10 on Jul 24, 2013 |

That and the people who put out the Macross box set have admitted that they were only able to do so due to HG being "asleep at the wheel" during a managerial shake-up in their legal department.

Blackheart posted:If it's what I'm thinking, it plugs into his wrist (his hand has to be folded away). It's some scanner or something that he used in one episode. The wiki says it's from Fire On The Mountain. Additionally, in tape deck mode it can connect to the side to act as a sort of data link, with one or both of FIBRIR's pile drivers (in their little storage caps) connected in sequence to form a (very thick) cable. Or you can just hang it off his butt if you don't want to use it. E: As for the cube, just pop that cap off one side and the now-tapered part clips into his tape deck door, so it looks like he's forming one like on the show. Vangelus put up a PDF on his site of the papercraft Takara provided to make the cube look pink, along with a scanned version of the scanner readouts that were originally on the back cover of the Takara instruction manual. God I love this figure so much, it's pretty much tied with (if not better than) MP-10 Prime for the best Masterpiece. 404GoonNotFound fucked around with this message at 21:10 on Jul 31, 2013 |

Proof that I'd be a horrible scalper: Only picked up one MP Soundwave for a friend when it looked like they had at least 3 or 4 in stock. I didn't even come back later and see if a different person was at the counter or anything. drat yous, functioning senses of guilt and shame!

In one of the most dramatic, heavy moments of G1, he is there chugging away as a train then turns into a shuttle and takes everyone away from battle. And he needs them to shed weight in space, because that's how cartoons work. Shine on Astrotrain, you crazy bastard
