Thanks to the Facebook Page of Planet Iacon, we have more Masterpiece news! Earlier today, Hasbro Asia teased that something Shattered Glass related was on the horizon; however Planet Iacon has posted an image of what that something is, and it’s none other than a Shattered Glass Masterpiece Optimus Prime! Decked out in his purple, grey, and green deco, this mirrored Prime is looking quite menacing. While the origins of the Shattered Glass universe may be no more, it seems the concept of a mirrored Transformers universe is still kicking which is excellent news for its fans.
The figure is said to be released some time in December. Stay tuned to TFW for info on pricing and availability and in the meantime, check out the pic after the jump and share your thoughts in the discussion below!

Ah then that must have been the more influencing factor as well…
Hard to remember as i'm pretty sure I went from BBTS sale discovery to buying the figure and reprolabels in the same alcohol fueled night.

If you are going to display box only then you really had it one way only. The KO box was just a cardboard with the inserts/trays. No artwork or instructions.
User_96283
Oh yeah? Right on. Ill admit it was a pretty impulsive buy and i think i did see there was a KO but i heard it had some QC issues that were minor so i just figured meh go with the official to hopefully avoid that (not that there is a rule that official is always better, not in the least)
Oh yeah i generally don't care about endorsements from the official but since i figured i might be displaying it in the box a lot, it'd be cool knowing it is official.
But yeah whatever works for folks.

Whatever floats your boat. For the record the TT KO had the same paint apps and for me there never was any problem of legitimacy, I dont need anyones blessing for adding stuff to my collection ;P

I actually like the lack of roller in the sense that for an evil optimus, it feels a little out of character to have anything even close to sentience be his "companion", and it feels more right that he is generally more alone.
Small potatoes though as I just love everything about this version opposed to the KOs which have paint jobs that aren't as good looking imo. I also kinda love that it's official which sort of adds more legitimacy in my mind to the existence of the shattered glass universe.
Ill be opening and adding reprolabels this weekend, should be fun. Also probably going to get some plastic ties so i can put him back in the box for display as well.
As for price, i think its still expensive for me in Canadian dollars but it's low enough for me to justify given how sick i think it is.
Would be nuts to get an MP SG Grimlock if it existed in evil colours.

Yep, thats what I meant about buck for bang

Not to mention the KO SG Prime in Hastak colors included matching SG Roller and Spike which are missing in the official HasTak version.

SG Optimus shelf warmed too much hence the low prices. IDK if its because there is not much interest in the line, or because the KOs offered a little bit more bang for lower back (at least till the previous year). Its a shame in either case though, because SG is an awesome universe and MP Style figures are few and far between, most officials that qualify are Diaclone repaints and these require paint modifications in places……

I did the same yesterday. I think 100$ for the figure and trailer is a good deal . I also bought the labels too.

On sale at BBTS for $100 USD
Just grabbed one… first time purchase of the MP-10 mould, and I just had to have those reprolabels with them, which are also on sale right now for 20 USD.

Yea, $100 seems like a steal for this. Shattered Glass ain't for everyone, and I would have probably knocked out Artfire from Toy Dojo instead had this not popped up first.
Makes me sad on two fronts, 2008 SG Optimus is one of the few club figures I still "need" but will likely never buy (may have to get the KO), and now I want the 3 BAPEs of MP-10, and 7-11 Optimagnus, which I don't want to toss out a house payment to obtain. If deadbeat renters would catch up, maybe I would treat myself in the newyear, but I'm not counting on that.

To bad shipping to the netherlands is a bitch
ChromeMagnus
That would be cool but I doubt it'll drop that low.
divinecomedy
I am gonna wait till this has dropped to 50 bucks.
ChromeMagnus
Finally, pricing for this figure that is more reasonable. I got mine from Taobao for a few bucks more. If I hadn't I'd go for this now.
