Don't like the price? Don't buy it then.

Oh I fully intend to buy. This guy looks better every time I see it. My hats off to the designers. Engineering looks top notch, love that the wheels are actually accurately centered under his feet and not hanging off to the side. I was just shocked to see a sticker price that was $35 more than expected. Just makes me wonder if there are going to be some classic Hasbro cuts to hit that lower price point. They indicated that they would be identical but Takara often goes all out on better paint apps. In this case it could really make the difference for those looking for the definitive MP Bee. There were some questionable pics a while back that still have me concerned.

I read that too but somethings not adding up. If googles currency exchange calculator is correct. The hasbro/takara releases may not be so identical after all. We'll have to wait and see. I hope I'm wrong.

Come on, he was just fine... appart from the very hairy hands that were just a tad distracting.
Anyway, I'll wait for it to come out locally. Let's hope it will be the same as the Classic MP-Bee. Horrendous price at first, then sale/clearance while there's LOT of stock for a long time.

Not a fan of this way of thinking. Waiting for it to go on sale and clearance is insulting.

No. Just..... No. There is a whole list of reasons to set this post of yours on fire, but let's just leave it at not paying full price for an over priced item, and waiting for a sale is smart economics.

This isn't a repaint though.

Doesn't matter. They find ways to save money for their business, I will find ways to save money for me. Looking at it in a general sense on both sides.

It actually does matter as you've said something wildly out of context and inaccurate so there's that.

Nope. We are talking about buying it on sale, which is what I will do. And I will do so because Hasbro as a business saves money oing certain things, like redecos ad retools I dont care for. So I will save money every chance I get as well.
If you think something is urelated, please report a post instead of being judge and jury on what someone says.
