I remember picking my mp01 w/ the short stacks and gun at toys r us on macleod trail for 99.95 iirc when they first came out.


I only ever saw them at toys r us though.

That was what i was told by an employee from Toys R Us.

I just used my raincheck at the Kanata store 2 days ago, AFTER MP Op was officially discontinued... but I guess you can still use it as long as there is still stock on the shelves.

Whoops, wrong thread

So is Hasbro Masterpiece Prime really discontinued?

According to TRU employees it has been discontinued but they are still showing up sporatically around the country and odds are since they're not selling fast enough in Japan and the U.S. we might get some more trickling down our way.

I wouldn't get your hopes up. Just because certain regions end up with an overabundance of stock doesn't mean that we'll see more coming up here. If you luck out and manage to find one in Toys R Us consider yourself fortunate. Some toys warm the shelves for months; others like MP Prime are going to be a rare commodity for Canadians.
