Hmm, that's actually quite a bit more than what they were asking for Inferno and Grapple at 10,500 JPY. I wonder why the Japanese prices are so different, but BBTS and TFSource can keep the prices the same?

fx currency issues and extra shipping.

That at least explains the domestic prices (though it's a dangerous thing to do with no telling what the exchange rate will be like in May), but doesn't explain the difference in Big in Japan's prices. Seems like it'll be a more expensive figure despite the Targetmaster countering the extra parts. Taking a moment to do the math it looks like he'll be 15,000 JPY (based on being 20% off) instead of the 14,000 JPY of Inferno and Grapple (at 25% off).

But less accessories overall.

Well I am Australian. It's kinda what we're known for.
Just watched Bobby Skullface's review of MP Inferno, thought he looked cool, already had MP Grapple on pre order at TFL, and now I'm thinking of jumping ship to this guy. Like you Cobotron I did my research, and I can't have just one TargetmasterMP on my shelf!

I was going to hold out for Grapple just because he gets less love, and frankly my MP display is heavy on red. I knew nothing about Artfire, so I did a little research. Now I do.
I'm totally holding out for this version, if for nothing else then this amazing deco with those out-a-sight 80's tampos/decals. The Targetmaster doesn't hurt anything either.
Something tells me that the lax reception towards both the Takara and the Hasbro reissues of Stepper had a hand in there being no Artfire reissue.fenrir72 wrote:Too bad Takara didn't re-issue the G1 ver of this guy as all the molds are readily available (well the modified ladder should be available too)

And to think Takara improved upon the original Stepper mold. No respect I tell you
I saw Inferno and thought "neat!". I saw Grapple and thought "neater!". I saw Artfire and thought "OMG SUPER NEAT X10000!!!1!!".itscramtastic wrote:Just watched Bobby Skullface's review of MP Inferno, thought he looked cool, already had MP Grapple on pre order at TFL, and now I'm thinking of jumping ship to this guy.
