Prepare for another Masterpiece Optimus Prime photo

Some new images have turned up of Takara Tomy's newest Transformers Masterpiece, and you guessed who --Optimus Prime (Convoy). Ok, I'll give MP-10 some points for not just being a reissue or another repaint, but come on! There are so many epic Transformers deserving of the Masterpiece treatment.

The robot is smaller than the MP-01, and I guess it's so he can be the same scale as Rodiumus. I don't know -- on my toy shelf, being scale with Megatron takes priority. I like the scale of the Masterpiece series, because the large size helps me justify the steep price tag.

The toy comes with a posable figure of Spike, and a Matrix of Leadership! The laser rifle looks like it stores in the back for transformation, and I spy some mirrors on the side. The creme da la creme of the robot is definitely the G1 style transforming trailer, now with Roller!

Oh man, I'm starting to want this toy more with every word I type. However, the photographed suggested retail price of ¥231,00 has me second guessing myself. I kind of don't want to buy it out of principle, but it just looks so nice. What do you guys think?

That is quite pricey. But I still want it. And really, the price is appropriate considering the other toys in the line. Rodimus was only a little cheaper, and his trailer isn't nearly as complex.
Give me Bumble Bee, Jazz, Soundwave or Shockwave before another Prime.

That being said I'll probably still pick this up.
AMEN Hitogoroshi!!!! a autobot car would be nice to have than another prime. prowl, jazz, wheeljack, even an ironhide!! wow that would be so awesome!! I'm excited thinking about it all
I'm holding out for the Hasbro version. Takara is out of their mind asking $275 for this. It's not even that great looking, the his ab grill is is way too stretched out looking and the attempt at covering his wheels make his legs look funny. They also could have easily included a jet pack, but didn't. The original MP-04 was 18,000yen and had basically the same features (and probably way more diecast) at a much larger scale only 5 years ago. This is a rip off, I"ll wait for Hasbro to a trailer-less version since I wouldn't display the trailer anyway.
