And does anyone else see flip out blades on Alternity Megatron's arms in the concept art?
Grimlock looks great as well. But where is his crown?

I've read that because the went the sword route, they're dropping the gun. It was originally planned-thus the image of it-but ain't happening now-thus the fact that we've never actually seen it. It's going to be a big let down if it's true.

He will never be cheaper. Masterpiece figures don't decrease in value. If you're lucky Grimmy will maintain his value. If you're unlucky he will shoot up to $200 or more. Holding out for a price drop on a Masterpiece is a waste of time. Sceptical or disinterested is one thing bargain hunting is another.

Don't know about the secondary market but at point of sale Ultra Magnus and Starscream have had their prices slashed.

True, but Ultra Magnus and Starscream were both heavily criticized when they were originally released. Unless MP Grimmy has major QA issues, I don't see his value decreasing.

What's up with Henkei Ratchet though? He's been delayed a couple times and he's been presented with two different gun colors - chrome & black.

At least he's been "officially" announced, in the form of a sillouette in Cyclonus' mini-manga.Stormrider wrote:It looks like Takara is all set to go with MP Grimlock. I want an early release.

If you're referring to the Hasbro/US release, wasn't that his original cost?
If it was the gray one and someone let it go at that price, you did get a deal.

Long term prices for Transformers do not drop. They even out, they occasionally dip, but they always trend upwards.
