Are you a Mastepiece completist? Well, get ready for a new repaint of the MP-10 Convoy/Optimus Prime mold. The Masterpiece MP-10 ASL Convoy Atmos Safari Lebron Ver. is coming in hot!
Takara Tomy surprised us when they showed three new repaints of the Masterpiece MP-10 Convoy/Optimus Prime mold in the last Wonderfest 2019. These variants were planned to match the deco of three different Nike Atmos shoes. Now, we have the official announcement of a fourth official Atmos variant based in the Atmos Safari Lebron Version.
A very unexpected release, now in vibrant orange, black and gray with extra details and logos that match the respective sneakers. Optimus now sports the Autobot and Lebron logos on his shoulders. According to the information shared, this product will be on sale on Saturday March 2nd, 2019 at Japanese Atmos stores and website for ¥20000 ($180.89 approximately) plus taxes. You can buy the Atmos Safari Lebron Ver. shoes separately for ¥17500 ($158.28 approximately), and it’s sure the shoes will be released in the US via the official Nike website.
Another hard-to-find Japanese variant for sure. You can watch the promotional video below and then check out all the images of this figure, including card, packaging and shots next to the Atmos Safari Lebron shoes, attached to this news post. Then you can sound off your impressions on the 2005 Boards!

I’ve heard a rumor this LJ Version is heavier than the original MP-10 & on par with MP-10B. Is this true? If so, what could be the contributing factor?
HolyCulture
So far no KO company has gone that far. I doubt it would happen.
While this is true if I ever purchased a Bape Prime from someone I’d rather get a shopping bag from japan to go along with it. It helps prove it’s legitimacy. Yes it’s not a sure fire way but the bag design will change in a season or 2.
I still think you should keep the bag if you ever plan on selling.

Pretty sure the bag can be KOed easily enough.
Dark Skull
Ah, didn't think of it that way

The bag proves it’s a legit copy. Fold it up and put it in the box of course. Or store the box in the bag.

Got mine in:
Not sure what I'm going to do with that bag though.

Got mine yesterday, he's really nice in person.

Hey bonus option – you can throw separately purchased teammates under the Lebron ‘bus’ (truck)!

Don’t reference me bro. I got a problem.

I'm one of those "completionist" that skipped all the MMPs and sold the few Diaclones I had. I should get MP-10ASL in the mail tomorrow!

I was re-looking over culture's posted pics and I didn't see any MMP so even MP completionist draw a line somewhere?

1. Yes. I get every version. So. Many. Primes.
2. Nope. Don’t care about accessories.
3. Nope. Also don’t care about coins – although I probably have close to all of them.
4. Is it an official MP? Then yes. Not sure TT has ever re-released a non MP product as a Masterpiece, but yeah. I would buy it.
I stopped buying the mainline toys a while ago (around the time of Age of Extinction). Too much variability in the quality of one product versus another. Say what you want about any given MP – some are more accurate, some with better alt modes, some with better proportions – but all of them are quality products.
I did also snag every combiner set. So there is that too.

I never even considered there were MP completionist out there.
Do you have to get every version (i.e. Takara release. Asia release. Hasbro release. Takara re-release)?
Do you have to get every bonus accessory (i.e. Soundwave's cubes, Sideswipe's piledrivers)?
Do you have to get every coin?
If Takara re-released Armada Sideswipe under the MP tag would you be obligated to buy it?

You don’t even want to see the storage room. It’s a spare bedroom in our finished basement. I also made the mistake of collecting 6in Star Wars Black Series figures when they started (also have every one of those and every vehicle – plastic crack addiction). This was when we had our first kid. Little did I know then… hence the current drive to sell any duplicates.

The MP01 lucky draw and the Golden Lagoon MP10 are the only two I lack.
That Lagoon figure is just ugly.
Fool that I am will always be, I picked this one up and $329. So, when it drops to under $300 this week, you're welcome.

Same here.
