Masterpiece Theater: the MP thread

I ordered mine from ShowZStore.com and got it last Thursday, and for less even.
I think I'll do that come next paycheck. Might throw a few more things in that box too.
Unfortunately the price is closer to Hasbro's price now. When I pre-ordered it I paid $150 plus shipping but now it's $170.
They've given you a number, and put "Secret Agent" in front of your name!
Even with proper support, 40 years does that., I guess.
And he's here! Haven't had the chance to do much but enjoy the packaging. He came in the black "this is a japanese release, but we're releasing it" box that the last few exclusives I've gotten from Pulse have come in. But in that is what appears to be the standard japanese release box.
I love that the instructions show him using accessories and items that come with other releases. The display stands that came with the trainbots. The trailer that came with another MP Prime release.
That said, I love his accessories. I really like the siege inspired shield/axe. I think I prefer that axe to the orange energy axe. Personal preference. The blades are also a really nice touch. I love that this release takes these cues from various Primes from other continuities and pairs it with a very poseable and good looking G1 version. I think this has the potential to be my new favorite Prime. Striker Manus has been the only other one to really come close to what this one does.

I really like how his design is primarily G1, but with modern cues blended in. The accessories are a cool touch, too. I've watched a few reviews and it does look satisfyingly non-fussy to transform. I don't collect MP anymore (that train sailed a long time ago) but if I did, I would snap this up in a heartbeat.
Honestly, that's the best part. No 30 minute transformation sequence, no super fiddly parts, no insanely complex or ridiculously hard to line up bits. Just solid transformation design that doesn't drive you nuts trying to figure out or get just right.

Nice!
