Re: TakaraTomy Masterpiece MP-43 Beast Megatron Price and Release Date Revealed
I will wait for ko or third party to show...takara and hasbro are pricing themselves out of the market on these ...
And i dont buy the enginering angle as the cost hike pluse oils been at an all time low for a number of years... these days theres a lot more computer workings than actual building .
checking tolerances re working etc..than in old days there programs are simulating that process and have cut many steps out... could also explain tbe recent climb in qc issues....

He's up for preorder on Big Bad Toy Store. Unfortunately he's $330.00 US, and that's just unholy! He looks great, but at that price, it's will be a definitive no from me.

So glad I'm not into Beast War MPs.
If there is a KO and around 80, I might pay for it.
I do think Takara is out its mind ---- we often thing 3rd party stuffs are expensive, but FT, WJ, DX9's Omega Supreme are around 8 to 10 KG, 55 to 60 CM with lots of features and still cheaper than this one.

After 20 years of collecting I'm priced out of the market with this.

Part of me says it's due to the size - for sure this will be much, much larger than MPM OP.

Based on pics, he's at least twice as big as MP Primal who is being reissued for $81 US (AE price). BBTS wants $330 US. That's not double the cost for double the bot. Hell, it's not even triple. It's nearly quadruple.

I’ve read there is a voice chip on this figure as well with David Kaye. That’s probably a few bucks there.
