Masterpiece Movie MPM-08 Megatron found in Canadian retail

Back when TRU got all of the MP exclusives in the US they would regularly show up in Canada at TRU weeks ahead of the US TRU stores. TRU US would wait to launch them at SDCC and sold them at the Entertainment Earth booth and then they'd hit the stores some weeks later in August. It's basically the same thing here, showing up at TRU Canada first and then, well, the rest of the world in August after SDCC.

I definitely can't think of another time that Canada was the first world wide to get an MP, especially nearly two months early.

I don't agree at all.
Because it's only an "awful mindset" if you have this attitude for a figure you truly want. But for kinda-wants or not-so-wants? Waiting for a sale it is. And if one miss out, too bad.

There are figures I buy early especially because I really want them and I don't want to miss out. But no one would buy everything just because it's new. Now THAT would be an awful insane mindset.

It seems like a cheap mindset rather than a get it later because I'm not that interested mindset. That's how it reads.

So, you're only allowed to comment if you really, REALLY want the thing.

You don't get it at all. There's a big difference between wants levels and just downright hating the thing. Like hit-n-running in bayformer thread just to say you hate bayformers (like a certain poster always do) for example.

Please stop being an extremist. There's more than black and white in this world.

Now THAT is the weird mindset.
If you truly live by that principle, go buy this:

Wait. You won't? Are you "too cheap" to buy this? I did buy that. So why won't you?

I'm just saying that your attitude of "shut up unless you buy the thing at full price" is totally insane.

I'll leave this at that before I fall victim to the inevitable napalm bombing.

Good day, sir.

I'm seeing some images of him on twitter too, and it is fantastic. He is huge, bigger than MP-43 Beast Megatron

He looks like an absolute monster which is appropriate. Surprised they went with so much red on his chest. Not too fussed by the play features tbh but it's my favourite design for movie Megatron.

I love how monstrous and huge he is. He has presence, and he has weight thanks to the die cast.

He may be $160 USD, but considering his is BIGGER than a $300+ MP, I think we are getting a great package

This is one of the dumbest things I’ve ever read. Waiting for sales is not, never has been, and never will be “cheap”. It’s intelligent. I can easily afford these figures as well, but I don’t pay full price if I can at all avoid it.


Every single MPM figure, every single one, has hit massive discounts on Amazon. At this point, paying full price is a bit stupid.


You need some life experience, son.

Waiting for sales is a viable tactic to getting the best for your cash. Especially if you can put down the FOMO monster (Fear Of Missing Out).

Yeah, keep on trolling. If, god forbid, you are serious, enjoy throwing money away, either way, I’m done.



“Ambition”. Good lord, kids these days......

Don't be annoyed at me purely because you're cheap and lack the finances. No need to be behaving like a pauper.

Truly, the good old Human Alliance is now officially outdated. At first, I feared the MPM Jazz's backpack would be one lazy "same-old, same-old" bullcrap that we see on every single figures. But now I see that even though the backpack is still there, it's cleverly camouflaged with details! Even the back of the legs have not been neglected.

Let's hope by the time I finally clear my card off my latest binge purchases, it will go on sale. That would be one hell of a happy coincidence!
