FINALLY! a new mold for the MP series tongue.gif

Will they make this T-Rex the old style (G1-not-so-accurate T-rex face mold), or something along the line of the BW Transmetal T-Rex (more accurate T-Rex, mechanically-enhanced) hmmmm..

organic/metalic t-rex.. or Purple dino "Barney" megatron style... ???
Would be awesome if it is current muzeum accurate stance without dragging the tail..

not purple, but with a more vicious looking face mold; have to admit that the G1 cartoon face/head looks tame (heck, looks friendly), haha. T-Rex, no matter the character, needs to look Vicious tongue.gif

Yeah, thats more like it wink.gif

Grimlock is not really a fav of mine, wish it could have been Soundwave & his cassettes... but at least it'll be a whole new mold for the MP smile.gif and im happy with that, hehe

Guys i'd like to ask if RM520 is a good bargain for the Hasbro 20th Anniversary optimus prime. Its the normal 20th prime. Not the DVD version with the funky bright orangy red  sweat.gif
*
For RM520:
1. TOO MUCH for the DVD orange Prime
2. Kind of high for the 20th Anniversary Prime (i wont pay more than RM400 for that)
3. OK (goreng-ed but what to do) price for MP01

reason i say its too much cos part of the reason why MP01 remains valuable is bcos of the packaging (the black wine box), not to mention the absence of battle damage and long smokestack... tongue.gif

I still think RM520 is too high for the 20th anniversary version. Hope there's an MP01 for you somewhere, which is more worth that pricing point smile.gif

the only thing is, only MP05 are flocking the market right now..
and if u r lucky, u might spot MP06 and there are shop still having MP03...
so, to say that both MP01 and MP02 will have re-issue, very very very dont put hopes too high...
unless u really want em, go get it ler unless there are solid news bout mp01 mp02 re-issue...
*
I agree, with MP05 reissue in the market now, MP01 is terribly rare!

i might be in the minority, but i still wont get the 20th anniversary one for RM520..

and to go with the Undici MP Rule: dont ever wait for an MP, get them when they first come out wink.gif

did that with the MP06, and luckily so smile.gif

Actually to me MP05 is really impressive because its really hard to make some bucket head menacing Decepticon transform into an accurate Walther P 38 for a toy. Look at G1 Megs, crotch damn weird lol . MP seekers are great but I still prefer the Prime mould, it was rumoured they spent 3 years working on the mold shocking.gif
*
Yes bro Samus, MP05 is a marvel of engineering, even more so than MP01 IMO (and that's saying a LOT) smile.gif
the seekers have a better looking prototype mold (with the placement of the tailfin), but the current mold's not too shabby wink.gif

for me, if i can get a hold on any one of em, its good enough..
i need an MP01 to get the right balance for my OP collection..
but, its all up to you...
u can wait...
for how long?
i dont really know...
if there's a concrete proof for MP01 re-issue, mind you not the dvd version, it'll worth the wait...
but so far, rumors are rooting for new MP07 mould...
*
yupe, with rumours abound regarding MP07, and not a whiff of MP01/04 reissues, its going to be tough looking for an MP01 mold...

@wkyoong: bro, i suggest negotiating with the seller to reduce the price of the 20th anniversary to about RM400 - 450 smile.gif ive been looking around for the prime mold the whole of last year, and from my scouting, the 20th anniversary version has never reach the rm500 price point. so for rm400 - 450, the seller can still make some money wink.gif

Yea i did man. Just that in the UK the retail by hasbro UK was 70GBP. Approx RM455. Im trying to get somewhere near the retail at most. But i doubt he'd offer any lower as he mentioned that it is the best he can offer for such a rare item  sweat.gif

Man... thats poisoning me .....  drool.gif
*
wow, retail in UK is already that expensive sweat.gif i suppose the one he's selling to u is MISB? hm, if i were to live in the UK, knowing that Takara stuff is REALLY rare there, i might put my buying price for the 2th anniversary at RM500 top....

hope you'd get it at a good price, bro smile.gif

You must also check when buying a 20th ann Prime, if it comes with the Black gun, expect to pay MP01 price. If it comes with MP01/Grey gun, RM400-RM450 is decent.

beli jangan tak beli brows.gif

ya, thats a great point to look for.. MP01 has the not-accurately colored grey gun, but some of the 20th anniversary one has the accurate black gun smile.gif hope the one you're after has the black gun wkyoong smile.gif

I thought all original 20th primes come with a black gun?? Oh no... more poison...  drool.gif
*
if im not mistaken, the early batch of the 20th Anniversary Prime came with the grey gun, like the MP01.... latter batch comes with the black gun. i think wink.gif

DVD Prime is great too, I don't see why people are trying to avoid it so badly sweat.gif  Its a really great alternative if you feel that the current MP01/20th Prime pricing is just too bad.
No they don't, but MP02's gun is better! biggrin.gif

reliving comic scene where shockwave blows up Magnus ' armor thus making him Prime-ish lol
*
Yes, any of the prime mold is great smile.gif but each up to a certain pricing point, hehe..

Loving the MP02 gun bro, woot!
