Re: Collecting Masterpieces
I've only been collecting the MPs since the original Hasbro release of Grimlock. Like most have said, the new scale (or conformed scale) from MP-10 on makes this a great time to jump in. Though Grimlock isn't part of the new scale the fact that he is being re-released is awesome for any G1 fan. I'm a G1 fan and thus far I've been pleased with every Hasbro MP I've bought.
I don't do 3rd party. No matter how much they look like TFs they still are not TFs in my mind and they are insanely overpriced.
I also don't collect Takara... I'm a cheap bastard and I'm not convinced that they are worth twice the price of a Hasbro release. It does make it painful when Takara is putting out all the new vehicles but at least Hasbro is going to bring some of them to the shelves very soon. It helps that I'm also very patient.
Right now I have them sitting on shelves in my basement. Eventually they will be going into Ikea Detolf shelving units when I'm done renovating... whatever year that happens to be.
