The Chosen Prime has it in stock, also. I'm going to wait for it to show up at TRU, and save some greenbacks. Considering Prime and Bee were still sitting on shelves last I checked, I have no worries. I'm also still waiting on in hand user reports here. From more people.

I'm surprised Chosen Prime has him already. All the pre-orders I saw said he wasn't due till April

I think this is the Asia version, April is probably the international and Japanese versions. Heck, he still isn't available for pre-order in Japan yet.

FINALLY! Japanese sites are now taking pre-orders for Barricade! Looks like most places have him down to around 8,000JPY (currently US$78, hopefully lower at release) which is a very nice price, probably be closer US$87 with SAL shipping. Arrives late April.
There might be new pictures (AmiAmi has bigger pics, but HLJ has a few more), I can't be bothered to compare them right now. Takara Tomy's MPMs tend to be slightly different from Hasbro's right?

Yes, but I've found with the recent film MPs, they're hasn't been many significant differences, except for the price perhaps?

At least it isn't a Beast Wars logo. I'm guessing there's supposed to be one of those fancy authentication stickers on there that you see on some officially license stuff, or maybe just a regular ford logo sticker. You said you got it off eBay, right? From a Chinese seller I'm guessing? Maybe it was rushed out so fast that they didn't get the sticker? I'm thinking any found at retail will have the sticker on it.

Well, Barricade is like MPM Optimus: great in robot mode, disappointing in alt mode.
Robot mode is fantastic. About as articulated as this design can be.
Car mode is where the problems are. Just like Prime, things don't want to align right, and the tolerances are to much for the roof tabbing, which causes the roof to pop up, leaving a very noticeable gap. I only paid less than 60 bucks for the figure, so I'm keeping it, but I cannot recommend paying full price.

Thanks to a heads up from our fellow fans over at Cybertron.ca, we have news that MPM-5 Barricade has made it to Canadian retail!
The figure, spotted by Cybertron.ca member steamwhistle, was found at a Canadian Toys R' Us, and was sold for $119.99 plus, tax, which is around $95 US dollars. With this figure now showing up in Canada, it should not be too long before he starts showing up elsewhere, though with the American Toys R' Us closing down, where that could be is still to be determined.
Movie Masterpiece Barricade has been a figure many were eager to buy, as he is one of the most memorable Decepticons of the live action franchise, he is the first Decepticon movie masterpiece figure in the new line up started by MPM-3 Bumblebee, and he is the first all original Decepticon movie masterpiece, as Starscream was a repainted version of his leader retail toy.
So with the figure out in the wild, begin your hunt, and let us know if you find him, and what you think of him, in the comments section below!

So I got my own MPM-5 today, and I have some thoughts to give you guys.
I do really like him, he is really cool. The bot mode is gorgeous, and I love how movie accurate he is. The moving mouth is a nice touch, and I love his hands, those are my favorite parts of him.
But I do have a slight issue with the shoulders: they do not want to stay up, and keep falling back down into his torso. I have accepted that they will slump, but it's still a tad disappointing. Also, his weapon is dope as hell, but it doesn't like to stay in position too much. I wish it split in half, it would look better.
His transformation is fun, and probably the best of the 3 so far. Alt mode is standard sweetness.
He and Bee are really close in terms of fun and quality to me, hard to really pick which is better. Bee holds together better in bot mode, Barricades transformation is a bit better, and both have awesome car modes. Probably the thing that would put Barry over the top is the face that his is so stable on his feet, and he feels the heaviest of the 2. He ain't going nowhere despite the smallish look of his legs

What's your limit? HLJ has him for pre-order for $77 plus probably another $6 or $7 for the slowest shipping option.

I'm always paranoid of getting sealed MPs off of Ebay... especially if they ship from China....
I ended up getting mine on TFSource for more than I would have liked to pay. Guess I should have checked HLJ. Has there been any confirmation if the Takara/import versions are *any* different than the Hasbro release?
I thought there was talking of Prime/Bee having darker (lighter?) grey plastic?

We are talking different currencies here. Is $77 US plus shipping and import fees to Canada so much better than 120 Canadian? Also iron, are you sure that was not a KO? Sounds like the price those KOs are going for.

On-topic... I'm almost liking the Movie MPs better than the Mainline (G1) MPs... I'm really digging the fine detailing on them (though I'd wish they'd pull a bit more paint detail out). Although Sunstreaker still blows my mind for being able to convert between both lambo modes, and how neatly his backpack fits together.
I do wish Barricades "weapon" mode did something cleaner with the rear window piece. But he's other wise super solid balance wise (more so than Bee) and his range of motion is really fun. Though I am starting to wish more had an ab-crunch.

That was my main hesitation... ebay was the first place I looked (surprised BBTS didn't get any) though I did recently see a case of Studio series thundercrackers in San Jose, CA.... so I'm going to be a little miffed if Barricade suddenly shows up. Live and learn I guess.

I haven't noticed my shoulders slump, though they will rotate down depending on how I manipulate the arms (strong ratchets/joints). I *think* the door windows/wings can help a little bit, though I wish between that hinge and the collar/neck area... that all could have clipped in or something.

No, upon further investigating, I did buy a KO. Damn, I haven't had a fail like that in a long time. Guess I should have known. While it has on issue (the roof doesn't connect properly in alt mode) it seems to be much higher quality than my Bumblebee or Prime MPMs.
Damn, that is embarrassing. Oh well, it works well on display, I just feel like a bit of an idiot.

No, upon further investigating, I did buy a KO. Damn, I haven't had a fail like that in a long time. Guess I should have known. While it has on issue (the roof doesn't connect properly in alt mode) it seems to be much higher quality than my Bumblebee or Prime MPMs.
Damn, that is embarrassing. Oh well, it works well on display, I just feel like a bit of an idiot.

Here is how you can do to get a refund without shipping back the KO figure:
1) When receive your figure, click return.
2) Fill in reason as "KO" or "not authentic".
3) Take pictures of your KO figure. There are 2 places you can easily see that are proves of KO. 3.1) The "POLICE" print was misprinted on the trunk while it should be on the spoiler. This could have been fixed but you will still see marks on trunk. 3.2) In the crotch there are 2 C shaped parts that you won't see the opening, while on official figures you will. Basically KO put these parts on the wrong direction.
4) Do not ship it back, as it is illegal to ship inauthentic items. Wait a few days and ask Ebay to step in (there is a button for it).
5) An Ebay employee will be assigned to your case and usually they will ask you to DESTROY the figure and sign something to prove you did it. Then they will refund you at sellers cost.
I highly recommend you destroy the figure like I did, not keeping it to yourself. KO in my opinion does too much damage to TF collectors community and they should not exist. I am OK with slightly modified/improved KO but a pure bootleg like this should be destroyed and not entering the market to confuse people.

Also, I found mine in eBay, sealed, for only $58 shipped.
We are talking different currencies here. Is $77 US plus shipping and import fees to Canada so much better than 120 Canadian? Also iron, are you sure that was not a KO? Sounds like the price those KOs are going for.
Yeah, it's authentic. Are there even kos of barricade out yet?

This has me super curious. If its illegal, then how come there are tons of listings, which describe the item to be a KO? Shouldnt E-Bay take them down? I get the idea that shipping an inauthentic product if they advertize it as authentic is illegal, but if they give the customer all the info regarding the legitimacy, does that give them a free pass (from e-bay)?

A lot of people recently have been getting burned with knockoff versions of the newest Movie Masterpiece Transformer on the market, MPM-5 Barricade. Buying highly-desired figures like this, especially on sites like eBay with individual sellers, can lead to a definite risk of ending up with a counterfeit version no matter how careful you may be.
To help you identify if your own copy of Barricade is a pretender to the Movie Masterpiece throne, Seibertronian zhaobinis1 has you covered with a couple identification tips - plus a guide on how best to refund your purchase through eBay if you did receive a fake! They recommend not shipping the figure back as it's technically illegal to ship counterfeit items like this.
As a visual aid to zhaobinis1's descriptions, we also have an image from D-Maximal Primal showing the misprinted "POLICE" decal (and its clumsy reapplication to the spoiler):
Best of luck to all you buyers out there - hopefully this guide can help keep you alert for counterfeits in your police-bot-acquiring efforts! And of course, our condolences to those who did receive a knockoff. If you have any thoughts or tips of your own to share, let us know in the Energon Pub forums. And as always, stay tuned to Seibertron.com for any more Transformers news and useful information!

Smh...
Ebay aint the damn police. They aint got no business asking you to destroy something. Id just call the seller out and send it right back to China. He might even send a refund and let you keep it that s**t probably cost him 5 bucks.

Well, I ordered a legit Barricade from HLJ. When it gets here, I'll compare with my KO, then decide which one I'm keeping, which one goes on eBay.
Cracks me up how even with shipping, Takara Barricade is cheaper than buying a Hasbro version.

.... eh... idk about that.... depends on where you shipping it... It'd be about a wash from me if I ordered it from TFSource https://www.tfsource.com/masterpiece/movie-masterpiece/mpm-05-barricade-hasbro/
Possibly give or take a few bucks... but then TFSource would ship it a lot faster.

effectively I'd imagine anyone getting him for less than JP list price should be very wary of KO potential. Which goes back to "if it's too good to be true, it probably is". Not that I really enjoy paying a premium to *make sure* mine is legit... but so be it.

I just avoid buying Transformers (or any collectables) from China (Hong Kong and Taiwan included). The risk of getting a knock off is just too much, even when you try to avoid the auctions for items that are way underpriced (a sure sign your not getting an authentic product).

And I never said they wouldn't. I said they had no business making that request. I see it as an agenda. You really think some 50 year old Chinese toy dealer knows the difference between a in package KO barricade and a real one? The anti-KO crowd seems to be under the impression that these dealers are transformers experts. They just sell stuff for a living. Theres enough high quality KOs out there being marketed and sold as KOs for budget collectors. Im inclined to believe this is more of a case of mistaken identity than deceit. All the ebay dealer probally knows by word of mouth is where he can pick up a pallet of toys to flip for profit. I doubt he knows where they were assembled. Hell its probally the guy who sold him the pallet that lied. So e-bay needs to chill out with all the hate rethoric and remain neutral. Refund the money and stay out of the politics. I dont see walmart asking me to prove I destroyed a bad product to get my money back.

But Walmart also doesn't let you keep that bad product when they give you a refund, do they? From what I understand, it's legally not allowed to physically return the knockoff toy (admittedly I haven't looked into this - I'm just taking what I've heard at face value). So the only way to ensure that customers aren't abusing the refund system to get free stuff, since there's no way to actually retrieve the product, is to request that the counterfeit item be destroyed.
I agree it sounds extreme, but I can at least slightly see the reasoning here, and I don't see any way in which eBay is pushing any "hate rhetoric" or a political agenda here. They're just trying to refund customers who were mislead (by whom doesn't actually matter, they were still mislead), while doing their best to also prevent over-savvy people from abusing the system to get a refund and keep the item.
