Ask Hasbro about MP-10 at TFCON 2012 please - Cybertron.CA - Canadian Transformers News and Discussion

Even though HASBRO won't be conducting an official Q&A this weekend they can still interact with you lucky 'Con-goers. I'm sure the questions that have been searing Optimus-shaped holes into a lot of boardie's brains are:

When will MP-10 hit TrU shelves in Canada?
How many?
How much?
For how long?

I probably don't need to remind those of you attending TFCON to ask (as you may have planned to already), but I will say please and thank you for sharing whatever information you do gather with the rest of us who are less fortunate to attend.

Have a great TFCON 2012 this weekend, guys and gals!

I'm planning to pop by the Hasbro booth. Definately get you some answers, man. Might not be clear cut, but they'll be answers nonetheless.

Sounds gouda!

So...did Hasbro say anything about MP10?

It is in TRU's system under "Masterpiece Collecter" as I was told but no order information yet, stock instore, or warehouse. Time will tell.

Can anyone who also attended TFCON confirm this?

I did get to ask the reps from Hasbro and they did confirm that MasterPiece Optimus would be a TRU exclusive and I do believe the said 99.99 and also MasterPiece Thundercracker would be coming to Canada with a price of 49.99. The display they had was nice and they brought a lot of new product to look at which was also nice. And I bet everyone asked about if the Kreon single packs were being given out. I also think they were smart sending 3 women to the show and they were very friendly and had answered all my questions I had at least.

I asked about when the War for Cybertron would be hitting Canadian retail and they said it should be shipping out soon. Hope that helps.

I will be allover an MP TC if I can.

I found the girls to be abit ditzy. They seemed to be more like booth girls rather then informants.

50 for thundercracker will be sweet, hopefully the alcohol doesn't damage his shoulders when i remove the "reflector tats"

Yeah; they were very friendly. I didn't ask about the MP prices, but they did confirm that they were coming. (They also confirmed that we're NOT getting the G2 Bruticus like how we got Unicron).

I think they said August for all the new stuff we don't have yet, if memory serves.
