This may sound odd, but I only buy Autobot MP figs. I want Sideswipe for sure, is there any word of a US release?

BBTS sent me an email early this week. MP-11S Sunstorm's arrived for anyone who cares.

I ordered one as well. I skipped MP-11 Starscream though, his colors are kind of dull.

I'm not sure about buying one... I've been staying away from large TF purchases lately... in fact almost no purchases since the beginning of the year. Maybe once it comes out I can trade an MP Skywarp for one. Who knows?

The takara version is all plastic too, no difference in the amount.

MP Sideswipe should break very easily.
y'know, to reflect his car side.

Did you find it in store? Or ebay? The MSRP is $70 right? Ebay prices has been hovering around there. Glad scalpers aren't making money.:shame:

I found it at a local Toys R Us. When I couldn't find it on the shelf, I asked an employee about it. He radioed the warehouse and sure enough, they had a box of them sitting in the back. The stock guy came up with the box, opened it up, and handed one of the figures to me.

I won't be opening it until I have my own place again, but I'm happy with it.

Here's Tundercracker. I went to my local Toys R Us and they had the shipping boxes everywhere and I saw "Masterpiece" on the box and there was a whole box of him inside. And yes, the figure costs 70 dollars, so I put it right back after I took the picture. Hopefully the Optimus Prime isn't going to cost that much since he's smaller now.

Isn't prime $99 over there?

Haven't seen one. The Transformers section at my local Toys R Us was very small. They had more racks with John Cena figures then what they had for Transformers. The last one that I saw with a comic was being sold for 90. I saw two at one Toys R Us and I thought it was old because the packages were really beat up, but even after I did the price scanner they still wanted full price.

It's not bad considering how much the JP one is. I think I paid £140 for my MP4.
