The Masterpiece Thread

[jedimaster-c]

I get the impression you work for TRU.Are these going to be a one shot deal or do you think TRU will restock these?I have seen MP Thundercracker get restocked.Our TRU had the MP Optimus but I was out of town.

 

 

Man I am so mad at my job right now. I was talking to one of my bosses about the Masterpiece Optimus Prime and told him I hope he will come next THURS when are truck is here. He told me today that he did came off this Thursday truck and nobody told me about it. I can't believe we had him and I was in the store when I was there. I had the money to get him I am soooo mad right now. I told him if he comes again next week to put one on hold for me. Just think I could of had Prime as of this Thursday. grrr

I may work for Toys but I don't know the stuff we get in all I do at Toys is beening a Janior. Clean the restrooms,Trash and stuff like that so I don't know what we get until I see my fallow co workers bring it out. I do hope we get more then one time on them.

[FUGAYZIE]

Let me give you this heads up. Be there first thing when it opens up. Cause if it's like my store when we had Thundercracker he be gone right when the store opens.

[jedimaster-c]

Not at mine.I found the MP Thundercracker at 12:45 in the afternoon at our TRU.they tend to put stuff put late.

[Devilbat]

I'm so disgusted...I found both the Masterpiece Prime and Thundercracker last Friday morning...and it never occured to me to put them in lay-away. On my way back through town Saturday afternoon, I stopped back by the store just in case they were still there, and of course they weren't. *sigh* I sure hope they pop up again soon...

-Wow, he's really big in vehicle mode, close to MP10

-According to Google translation, looks like he has plastic tires.

-TTomy abandoned the Booklet manual for MP12, darn it, I miss the front the cover art already.

[Silverbolt]

I don't think you can call a figure a masterpiece figure if it has plastic tires, but those definitely look plastic. I'll probably cancel Red Alert if Sideswipe is as cheap as he looks.

[DarkFlash]

I'm anxiously awaiting the Oct. 15 "release date" for the pre-orders......but why do have this bad feeling that things are gonna turn out horribly for me - i.e. they don't have enough product to fill the pre-orders so TRU ends up cancelling the ones they can't fill?

[redrum2581]

looks like a superpossible alternator/binaltech, did they have rubber wheels, i cant check right now mine are in storage, i know the alternity figures do

Alternator/BT has rubber wheels...

[mike33]

those are tires your discussing not wheels....... tires are rubber ( sometimes plastic on toys ) wheels are never rubber.........wheels are- aluminum, steal, sometimes stainless steal or alloy but never ever rubber

[JeffreyA]

I don't care if there rubber or not I just want him. Beside to me the rubber tires break off to easy at less that is how my GEN. 1 Transformers turn out to be.

i cant wait to see the comparisson of lambor to the alts, but i'm thinking the alts wont be far off from this mp ver, i mean he's a lambo countach unhidered by real world interior making giving him more leg articulation so its a give and take relationship.....even mp prime had a seat for someone to sit in and the smaller mp prime had an occupant and rubber tires.....ijs @smilepunch@

I canceled my Red Alert order, just can't see paying 90 bucks for something they can't be bothered to put rubber tires on. I can see third parties making them for the figures pretty much immediately. I'll still get Sideswipe and hope that I'm wrong and perhaps get Red Alert if the price drops to around 50 bucks. First they cut the size, remove the die cast, and now rubber tires.

[Agent Adam]

I'm not going to feel up my toys tires so the rubber is meaning less to me anyway.

[JeffreyA]

Well as of today my work didn't get any MP Prime but we did get MP Thundercracker thou. So I hope next week I can get Prime.

[redrum2581]

wait there's no diecast in the mp figures anymore

[Wheeljack35]

I was in TRU today and they had alot of MP Thundercrackers

[JeffreyA]

As does mine send Sunday. I guess after I leave work on Thursday we got another truck and we got 6 cases of MP Thundercracker, What my MRG. said they are now part of the HOT TOY items that we are doing. Anyway. I don't care what people will say but I'm getting Buzzsaw with Rumble. I don't care if they have him as Frenzy to me Rumble is blue and Frenzy is red in my book.

Yep! Rumble was always the blue one in the cartoon & a majority of the time in the comics (coloring teneded to be a bit all over the place in general it seems). I just look at it as the TF equivalent of the Zuckuss/4-LOM situation from Star Wars.

you are incorrect on that 2nd part.Rumble was the red one in the original comics, and also in the majority of the comics to date.
