I've stopped collecting Masterpieces. Did so a long time ago, they're just too expensive and, frankly, not fun.
With that said, I will have this. Holy SHIT he looks amazing!!!!
I agree. Have you considered KO versions? Although some might have QC issues of their own, some also feature fixes or improvements over the originals. For example, KO G1 Hound doesn't seem to disintegrate if you look directly at it...
You can get them, including older releases, such as Sideswipe, etc at sites like "ShowZ Store" if you're interested.
Anyway, MP Rhinox is now available via Amazon Japan. The private sellers are asking for around ¥25,000 BUT if you select "other sellers on Amazon" option, you'll find that you can select "ships and sells from Amazon Japan" as one of the options (you have to manually select "see more" to see the sellers' names). Amazon, at time of writing, had the original price of around ¥35,000 BUT they usually match the prices of the private sellers and/or reduce their prices to undercut them too at times. In Japan, if items are shipped and sold by Amazon Japan, delivery is also usually free too.
Here's the listing for
MP Rhinox.
