Why are his blue parts green in this image?

possibly glare from a funny angle / slightly shopped / paint is slightly irredescent.

HARK!!! do i see chest panels lining up?

lol, hark.

I still must refuse to want this figure, as awesome as it looks.

Must.... resist.... buying this.

I must say though, it's looking better all the time and I feel somewhat better spending 150 on this then I did on Grimlock. At least this guy PROBABLY won't show up in the US next year.

Is that autobot logo painted on because I want one of these to make into a Materpiece Nemesis Prime?

Nope! It's a fully-molded shoulder on this black hero.

MP01B has arrived at BBTS.

Yup just noticed the charge and the addition of him to my pile. Waiting on a few other items to come in before I have him shipped.

Received MP01B today. Is it common to have some of the plastic parts pop off during transformation? Like the back piece that opens to let Optimus' head come out, or the headlight panels?

My version did NOT come with the comic, so I don't know if it's bootleg or whatever, but I've heard of a version without a comic from this board or something.

It's also smaller than I remember. Then again, maybe I've gotten bigger since I last saw a Masterpiece Prime mold.

Plastic pop off that you mentioned i guess is common, mine is like that too.

Yours shd be Hong Kong Version. It shd come with metal plate. Comic version is only for Japan version, release in January 2010.

Size wise is the same as old MP1 or MP4.

Ah, well. I suppose someone will just scan the comic and put it on the internet anyway.

I thought MP01B was supposed to be an e-hobby exclusive? But there's a Hong Kong version too? With my luck, there will eventually be a U.S. version for $60 USD one day.

and where is his autobot emblem in this pic?

MP Prime comes with a little bag that contain 2 small plastic pieces, if you look at the pictures or if you have Prime you'll know what i'm talking about.
can anyone tell me please what those pieces are for ??
thanks.

I can't really justify the funds to get another version of this mold. Maybe in more prosperous times, but for now it's just a bit superfluous.

For some strange reason though, I simply must have one of those little black bags with the Autobot symbol.

I really hope they lean into doing black repaints before white magnus repaints from now on.
Seems like it took a long time for this one to come around.

BBTS shipped my order on Monday. I probably will receive it tomorrow.

BTW that matrix looks gorgeous.

Mine showed up from RobotKingdom today...haven't opened it yet, but it was shipped well and showed up in great shape. Now hopefully the contents match.

Looks nice but still in this depressed economy I am surprised so many want to get him. As others have commented maybe in better times but right now it will be added to the want list, not need.
