Masterpiece Transformers?

[Samhain]

I didnt see a thread about these but i think they deserve one. Anyone out there collect the Takara Masterpiece Transformers figures? I just purchased Grimlock as my first Mp and im stoked. It looks so awesome! I have been watching reviews and it looks like an awesome figure. Post pics if ya got them!

I'm a big Grimlock mark, but due to being a poor student (bum) I can't justify shelling out the best part of 100 quid for a MP figure. Especially when my needs are elsewhere in more important avenues.

I have G1, BW, Classics, Alternators, WST, Santa Commander, Reindeer Commander, and Titanium variants; but owning the latter isn't the foundation of my love for the character.

I sadly missed out on MP Prime too, and it looks the same for Grimmy.

The MP figure looks awesome and a dream come true. Fair play to anybody that does own one.

Yeah they are a bit expensive but they are worth it, If you like transformers enough.

Got 20th Prime (hate those cut off smoke stacks) and nothing else. I'd like to have Grimlock but I'm going to wait and see if Hasbro releases him. I love TFs, but I don't like big pricey items like this. Simply put, I like to play with my toys and if something happens, I can't aford another.

That, and I don't care for diecast. Scratches to easy.

Btw, my Prime is currently in my TMNT display.

The inflation of Transformers has hugely skyrocketed!

The Supreme class ROTF Devastator has just been released here for £100 ($163 USD). That thing is not even as big as Fort Max or as detailed as the MP toys and it costs that much!? It would be interesting to see if the price drops rapidly for what is just a glorified Duocon made up of 6 vehicles.

It's quite a sight to see smaller near equivellant toys that would have been £1.75 (Firecons, Sparkabots, Throttlebots etc) are retailing for something like £8 (scout class)

Samhein, Post some Grimlock pics.
