First Reveal & BBTS Price Drop!"},"content":{"rendered":"

The best toy news this week for me has been all about Transformers Masterpiece Ultra Magnus. I know he’s not everyone’s favorite, but he is one of mine! I loved the original toy (which was lost in The Great Flood\u2122, but since replaced – although I’m still missing his shoulder cannons…) and he even made enough of an impact on my parents who randomly bought me the Transformers: Robots in Disguise version years later. I spent dumb money on the G2 repaint of Laser Prime. I’ve spent dumb money on his Classics figure & the third-party armor kit. I’ve almost spent dumb money on Ultra Mammoth more than once… <\/p>\n

But those pricey repaints and stand-ins all pale to the ultimate goal: Masterpiece Ultra Magnus. I avoided the MP line until the rumors of his possibility started to spread. I was stoked when he was announced and immediately gobbled up one of the first BBTS pre-order at a whopping $279.99. Yeah, and that was sight unseen. Until yesterday, at least when early images from a Japanese magazine popped up on the net: <\/p>\n

Hit up this thread<\/A> at TFW2005 for a much larger picture (And some cool photoshops later in the thread), but suffice to say, he’s gorgeous. I kinda want two to display him in both modes (the odds we get him repainted are pretty high though – Diaclone Colors? Shining would be cool!) And the good news is that shortly after he was revealed BBTS shot pre-order holders an e-mail about a price drop from that $279.99 all the way down to $189.99<\/a>! That was the icing on the cake (BBTS was quick to remind us the price can inch back up if their costs go back up, but still saving money rocks)<\/p>\n

The only bad news in all this is that he’s been moved back from Summer to Christmas, but better late than never, right? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
