A little bit louder but not the least bit worse.

Is anyone besides me tempted to get another MP Grimlock so I can open one? (I still have the original MISP)
Also, I'm curious about the size of Prowl's packaging. I know the new MP packaging isn't one size fits all, but with as small as Prowl is in comparison to Acid Storm and Soundwave, I wonder if his box will be noticeably smaller, too.

Well, Acid Storm and Soundwave had differently-sized boxes from one another, so Prowl's box will probably be a different size too.Bounti76 wrote:Also, I'm curious about the size of Prowl's packaging.

Right...I just wonder exactly how small it will be. I have both Soundwave and Acid Storm, but I like seeing size comparisons. Wish they'd shown a picture of him next to his box so I could get an idea.

I volunteer for freelance work so long as I can share my photos on Seibertron.com.

These will be 'exclusively' released to general retail via Toys 'R' Us stores.

You're right, it does have a slight tint. It appears a bit greenish, as the blue tint and the yellow chest mix up.

The 1 I have is out of the box and on a shelf. How can you keep an awesome figure like that imprisoned? It needs to roam free! That reminds me, he's been in the same position since I got him 3 years ago.

yeah.. i always find it extremely lame when people keep such great figures in a box.. spend all that money just for a box... lame.
such an insult to the engineers and designers of the toy.

Amazon Japan, originally. Though, I wouldn't know where Ryan got those particular ones since other online retailers have gotten a hold of some of those missile launchers from Amazon. But they originally came from Amazon Japan since one missile launcher each was their incentive exclusive for purchasing Prowl or Streak from that site.Grendelspyce wrote:Where did those shoulder mounted missile launchers come from in the Seinertron pic of Prowl?

I want to say that Grimlock is the usual $75, while Prowl is like $50-ish.

This is the common information/rumor out there. Keep in mind TRU prices can vary depending on location. Sometimes stores in more affluent areas will have higher prices. I'm not making that up.
They're also known to raise the price over time on these things.

very first post says that prowl is $60 and sunstorm is $70. if grim was mentioned, i didnt see it. but id bet hes somewhere in the $80-100 range.Lango7 wrote:I bet Prowl will be 70 and Grimlock 100. Lately TRU has been jacking up the price on MP figs. I'm guessing the reason they put Prowl in a bigger box is to try and justify the higher price. I'm not sure who they think they are fooling,
strange we have no pics of sunstorm yet eh? im very curious to see if he differs from the takara one.
