This is hilarious.

Also, Megatron Wolf must live out in the middle of nowhere if he uses $800 of gas per month and can get a high-class escort for only $800. :p

In his defense, if you do some smart shopping online you can get them in for under a grand. It's a buyers market.
I'm in total agreement though that there are MUCH better things to do with $800 bucks. This better be on hell of a large figure, I'm talking far and away beyond Titan class to justify that kind of tag for a non-transforming Transformer. It looks to me to be your basic MP Optimus that doesn't transform but has cool details inside the plastic shell. Certainly not $700.00 worth of extra cool details. I could add the same amount of detailing to my MP for far less than that with trips to Hobby Lobby, Ace Hardware and the thrift store.

This thing is about 1.5 times the size of MP 01, is made mostly of die-cast, features lights, sound and a remote-control. So yea we all knew it was going to be expensive, but this is still ridicules.

It's a shame that it can't transform, I don't see any reason why it shouldn't be able to based on the pictures, I mean it just looks like a larger, diecast, hyper articulated version of MP-10, but I'm sure there's something we can't see that it does right? Because as much as I think it looks awesome, I just can't justify spending this much money on it.

Slash it by 50%, then do that AGAIN, then I'd think about it.
Neat, but way too pricey for me.

I understand that, I really do, but it doesn't make this any less of an awesome combination of engineering and artistry!

He doesn't look exactly like MP10 there a numerous differences.
On top of that he's made almost entirely of diecast, has electronics, a remote control, loads of joints, his mouth supposedly moves while talking, has loads of pieces you can remove, oh and he's 17 inches tall.
That's why it's so expensive.
Is it still super duper ridicules? Yes it is.

- Display base that can also display the Matrix of Leadership
- Remote control light and sound features
- Moving faceplating when reciting lines
- Lots of diecast
- Removable outer skin to reveal his inner workings
- Stands approximately 17 inches tall
On the downside, all this awesome comes in at wallet melting 78,000 Yen, or around $800.00 USD.

What did you mean about robotech?

This looks awesome.
I can't afford it.
Posted by Cyberpath on October 26th, 2013 @ 11:06am CDT
It's odd.
Wolf, for $800 you can get almost the entire remaining 1st season Autobot cast in Masterpiece form (when they finally get made and released. :)

I never thought of it that way, but you're right, it would make for great stop mo' animation! But seriously, if I bought this, and that's a massive IF, I'd be too scared to touch it! I would just sit back and bask in the glory of it's awesomeness. If you see the way some guys do stop mo', they break apart the toy into it's component parts to achieve certain poses, I couldn't imagine breaking apart something this brilliant!

On the other hand, 800 bucks is too blood for my rich.
On another hand, the cut away parts look awesome.
On another other hand, it's a Dreamwave design.
Dreamwave.

The $800 was the bare-bone converted price, without the meat of the import charges and profit margins. Mmmmmmmm, meat...
