I'm hoping they're smart enough to not make the Hasbro version of MP-10 an exclusive. That one will sell no matter where it's sold just like the previous releases of their MP-01.

Yeah I wonder why they even do that? I guess TRU forks over a boat load of money for the exclusive but i wish it was like they get exclusive sales for a few months then after that they are released to other retailers. Why so little stock to? why not have more units? My TRU got one shipment of TRU Grimlock and I STUPIDLY didnt grab one when I saw like 10 on the shelf.... but thats all I ever saw of him and now they are selling on ebay for as much as the freaking Takara ones.

If Hasbros ever gonna make a MP10 under the $100....iiii$$$$h mark for sure ill grab one specially if the reviews are gonna be better!!! and if TRU makes a $ale of this thats a $teal....bwahahahaha...(evil laugh)!!!
Hasbros MP Rodi will hit the $100 mark but it will take some time for it of course....

Found a bunch at TRU Cederbrae Mall at Scarborough for any one else in TO looking to get one, got 2 because of the sale will likely let one go someday, with the sale it costs $60CDN each tax included.
Should've been more patient but I wasn't expecting the stock here to be "this" abundant....I mean it wasn't the case with Grimlock ....I guess its just the luck of the draw that Canada got more than it did of this MP issue.
I wouldn't mind MP-10 its likely going to be released without the trailer for about $70 like all the previous Hasbro MPs......but I think I've really had my fill with Prime so I may still pass....who knows its at least a year away so....

whats the best paint to use to paint tru, rodimus' thighs black and rodimus face more like takara's You could use Testors enamel bottles for the face and smaller details. If you dont want to risk brush marks for bigger areas, you can use automotive touch up spray paint. They are laquer based, dry quickly and leave a very smooth finish. I use them to paint my model kits or when I restore figures.

IMHO lacquer based are the best to paint up toys...dries quicly and smoothly as mentioned plus it gives high feeling after sniffing all the fumes ;D spray in a well ventilated or open area and use face mask to be safe ![:)](http://lemonstre.fr/robot-japan/smileys/smiley.png) finish it with a clear coat and wet sand it to buff it smoothly

i read somewhere that Rodi has this shoulder issue...someone opened it straight out of the box after moving the shoulders up and down it cracked and broke....maybe it was one of those QC stuff but after reading it last night i opened mine and check out the shoulders. good thing there was no crack sighted on my Rodi....
anyhow i feel really happy about this figure, its fun play and great to posed it side by side with my MP01. at first i was expecting this figure to be light but as i have handled it, it seems to be pretty much heavy (not to much thou like MP01 but just right for its height). it pretty solid to posed unlike my MP01 which is a bit hard to posed (due to its weight maybe) but im ust admit that toy technology has really improved since they issue the 1st Masterpiece. kudos to the masterpeice series.
btw does Rodi have that loose arms??? i feel that my Rodis left arm is a bit loose....is it really like it???

Agreed, just finished highlighting my Hasbro Leader OP with Testors enamel paint and its great. TF toys has some kind of clear slippery coat on its plastic surface, I found that water based paint such as the Tamiya ones I used ended up flacking off but the Testors stick to it like glue.

I have some acrylics here that suggest water. I use Testors paint thinner for enamel. Not sure if alcohol will work with enamel. So back to Rodimus. I JUST opened mine which I got for $30 using a coupon for 50% off any transformers toy ![:)](http://lemonstre.fr/robot-japan/smileys/smiley.png) I have to say, in the five minutes Ive had it in my hands, Ive really really warmed up to it. It doesnt look as crazy as when I first saw picturs of the dark grey. In fact when I look at the Takara, the Takara looks weird to me lol. I really dig the Hasbro one. Also if you have the Hasbro, make sure you open up the instructions if you havent already. It comes with a small sticker sheet for the arms and an Autobot and Decepticon logo. Some one said something about the arm being loose. I have a loose arm but I found that using the upper elbow ratchet to pose the elbow works better than the lower one which is loose. I am really glad I picked this up. I bought it to sell it off, but Its mine now ![:)](http://lemonstre.fr/robot-japan/smileys/smiley.png)

I do not mind vendors here. As long as he is legit, offers products that we seek, and could offer us a great deal, why not...
