Rumour: Masterpiece Grimlock and Alternity Megatron due out next year?

Written by Big Bot on October 13, 2008 | News,Takara,Toys | Tags: , —

Time for some more rumours. Sparkplug of SGCollect has posted some information he has received on the release of Masterpiece MP-08 Grimlock and Alternity Megatron.

Masterpiece Grimlock will be released in March 2009 by TakaraTomy with a price tag of 130,000 Yen. This is a lot more expensive than other Masterpieces, so (if true) expect a large item.  Alternity Megatron will be available in either blue or silver and will transform into the new Nissan Fairlady Z.

Expect retailers to either confirm or deny these rumours in the coming weeks.
