Would prefer a lower price, but pretty much anything is better than Takara's ridiculous pricing.
Stepper
If is US$100,then it is definitely sold to me.
Grimmjow
I wish there was an official price for this…I couldn't spend any of my money at Savcon because I had no idea of this price…but if $100 is true, I'm glad I saved my money…my mom bought me stuff at Savcon for me anyways, so I'm good.
Stepper
Will not mind if it come later,as long as it arrive at US.

Order from the TRU website? Or have them order it from there if they can't find it? I've used the TRU website lately…but that's because the last few TRU exclusive Masterpieces have been released during marching band season, so I've always been too busy to go hunting.

since we @ Puerto Rico always have problems getting store exclusive I made a good family plan. lucky me I have around 17 family member living around the state NY,OH,MA,CA AND FL and willing to buy this for me as gift!!! so I did a good training on them for the mp10 hunting. if I fail getting him I quit the hobby for good
emoo
Wouldn't be as bad if it were anything other than a tru exclusive. If it were target or a walmart one at least the odds would be better seeing it and being able to pick one up. But it would be even nicer not to be an exclusive.

Oh, I get that, but we are also in the tail end of June. It just seems that if it were coming out in July, even at the end, we would have heard something by now. I could very well be wrong, but it just seems odd to not hear something about a street date well in advance of the release.
Kimmer
Here's to many inevitably unhappy people not being able to get Prime because it's a stupid-ass exclusive like usual. Yay!
Grimmjow
MY MP10, MINE…anyways, I sure hope he ends up being more like $80 instead…$100 is a bit too much…having only $3 left over wouldn't be useful. At best, it would get me 2 bottles of Mountain Dew…not that I'd be unhappy with 2 more bottles of DEW…

Keep in mind that "july" could mean "July 29". TRU has gotten new toys out around that time for the last several years, so it wouldn't surprise me.
Actually, those numbers seem about par for course given how much reduced TRU's market has gotten the last few years.
This is just the first time the exclusives were revealed by a TRU memo, not a Hasbro announcement, which is the only reason we know the production size at all.
In all reality, Grimlock and Rodimus were both produced around the 20,000 mark.

Huzzah!!!!
Now then, can I borrow $103?
Wyvern
I had both at some point but I never transformed them. They stayed in bot mode the whole time before I gave away TRU Rodimus. He felt the same to me.
Grimmjow
I just remembered a b-day check I'd gotten that was $10, so…I'm all set with $103 to spend on this guy!
wildfly
Whilst i don't like to build hype, or engage in almost baseless speculation… maybe there'll be a certain amount available for SDCC?
Peanut04
I can believe that it would get a limited number like that, but I have trouble believing it will be out in July. You would think we would have heard a street date by now, if it was releasing that soon. Also, I thought we were already told it was getting a September release.
Jaicen
TRURoddy definitely feels cheaper in hand, though it could be because he looks cheaper. A lot cheaper, next to the takara release anyway.
I wonder if I'd be able to tell the difference blindfold. I suspect I would, because the Japanese release sure does look like it has nicer plastic. I've not had them out since last September though, still don't have my display set up.
Maybe tomorrow..
EDIT: I should mention I have TT MP09 v2.
Robogeek28
Better start saving up that extra $7 plus tax then.
Fort_Fett
There's a few "vintage" Star Wars vehicles coming to TRU and they're limited to 30,000 a pop….just sayin
Grimmjow
I would much prefer $60 for MP Thundercracker myself.
$100? I only have $93 spending money left…grr…
