Not sure about MP Prime ver.3. Its very nice and accurate to the cartoon. But I don't know being super accurate to a not that well drawn cartoon is going to be the best looking thing. However, it sure fills a niche for TF fans to chase after. Just not sure if I am one of those collectors. I like slightly "improved" MP toy aesthetics in previous releases, rather than 100% cartoon accurate. But that's just me.

I'm on the fence too. I love the current megatron, but I feel like the MP10 is good enough. The only improvement I have seen I like so far is the KO version with longer legs. I will be keeping an eye on 3rd party etc.. as new designs get tested.

This thing is my childhood in toy form. Day one purchase as well. I like the cartoon look, and haven’t had a transformer since gen 1 stuff.

How about some Decepticons rather than repaints!  Bring back the Binaltech line even! I want more Masterpiece Dinobots. Grimlock is getting lonely. |

BBTS has the preorder up at a whopping $450USD. Geebus, it better make breakfast.  I'll wait for the Japanese POs to go up and maybe save a bit. CAD to USD is pwnage for me anyways. |

I would highly recommend that everyone stop using BBTS for MPs forever and just stick to Amazon's Japanese website.

I would highly recommend that everyone stop using BBTS for MPs forever and just stick to Amazon's Japanese website. How does one go ordering from Amazon JP? Do they ship internationally and is it easy to navigate? I placed my pre-order at TFsource but will cancel it if I can get an order from JP sites and the total is considerably less than US pricing. |

I will be waiting on this one. I want to see a full color prototype and still that price is outrageous. I wonder if it will scale with the current MP Megatron or will they use this as an excuse to make another one at this price point? LOL |

Maybe 1. Lower price on robotkingdom but with the shipping to US, it might end up close to the prices here especially for the ones that offer free shipping. |

Definitely the price will drop because it will keep reissuing according to their sale history. (Actually I cannot afford it  ) |

BBTS temporary took down the preorder listing. They included lots of new promo pictures to the listing These pictures are from BBTS  the accessories. Full color shot  This promo picture here is why I like this new version over the old Mp-10. Just way it can articulate. Looks really natural and proper proportionate.  Here’s hoping when BBTS reopens the pre order, the price isn’t crazy like before. |

I like it. Hopefully the price goes down a bit. It's just funny how some collectors are so nitpicky on the smallest things like too many panels, big backpack, etc.
I'd like to get the TE and MS ones but would wait for reviews first. MS has a nice bot mode but the truck is too chunky. TE needs some tweaking with the head and colors on certain areas. Otherwise, the truck mode is almost perfect.

I am most interested to see if they do a toy version like they did with megatron. Maybe there will be a g1 toy inspired head in the works.

Yeah......I am most likely waiting for this to inevitably go on clearance. This is way beyond even the MSRP for Soul of Chogokin figures with even worse QC and less diecast.
