The Masterpiece Appreciation and Speculation Thread

[CanBot]

I'm still waiting for Takara to do another Soundwave reissue. I know that Hasbro Asia is re-releasing the set we got here a few years back (my first MP, lol) but I want the red eyes, not yellow (and am not willing to mod my Hasbro SW).

That said...is anybody else crazy stoked over the news of Megatron? I shat my pants. Best MP news ever, and it's based on the pics that were floating around as rumour a couple months ago. Once Megs is in hand, then that's a huge step for my MP collection. It could all end tomorrow and as long as I have OP and Megatron, I'm ok with it.

Personally, I'm hoping that in the next few years we get some MP Insecticons (really hoping!) and at some point, MP Constructicons. UW Devy is a good stand in for now, but I hope they get the MP treatment at some point. Autobot side, all I really would like to see is Jazz and Sunstreaker. And Hound. And Huffer. Ok, that's a fair amount, but that's really it. Afer that, it's all gravy

I want Takara to finish with the rest of the S1 Autobots. We still need, Mirage, Trailbreaker, Hound, Cliffjumper (not red BB), Brawn, Trailbreaker, Sunstreaker, Gears, Huffer, Jazz (only if they could get the licensing), Jetfire, Windchager.

there is a reason for that as MP-10 is the MUST have Figure for any MP collector and every time it gets a re-issue they sell out at the release price fast then they start jacking up the price again.

With the New MP Megatron announced and the fact that it is a gun I would say that TT has plans to release all of the G1 Characters at least those that had gotten toys.

Well for Jazz, they need to get licensing fron Porsche

[Masta_Skidz]

We will have a Jazz soon same with EVERY other G1 character although you won't like that most of the re-paint will most likely be TT-Mall exclusives

[Ironwave]

What are TT mail exclusive? I mean aren't all JP Masterpieces come in a package in the mail?

TT mall, like a shopping mall. It's an online store that's run by Takara-Tomy themselves. Don't fuss too much about them being "exclusives" since many other retailers also them. That said, many of their exclusives, such as the MP Skywarp and Thundercracker, tend to be quite a bit more money.

[Roadhammer]

He means TakaraTomy Mall. It's an online retailer that deals exclusively in TT product and often has exclusive toys sold through it, like the Cloud World repaints, and the MP Coneheads.

[Ironwave]

Are they usually the same price as the other online toy shops like A3U, BBTS?
