ALL THINGS TRANSFORMERS!!!!

[DPrime]

My Prowls from HLJ are incoming as well, yay!!!

 

[karamazov80]

Low shipping charges & impatient collectors = GOTTA SHIP 'EM NOW!

I can't speak for anyone else, but I went with the EMS option for the tracking. Just so happens it's also faster.

 

[franpincho]

Yeah, I also ordered 2 Silverstreaks from them, and was going to ship them together, but considering the low shipping cost it isn't worth waiting. The slow option for 3 Prowls would have been around $11 (SAL). it was $19 to do the EMS with tracking.

Hmn. It Almost resembles what I'm paying at BBTS. Might go with them next time just to get my stuff faster.
Are they good with returns/exchanges? That's one of the reasons I choose BBTS for almost everything.

 

[karamazov80]

I have no idea about that. My guess is any kind of return process would be more difficult, because you would have to ship back overseas. But I've not had any major QC issues with Transformers *knock on wood* so it wasn't a major concern for me here.

 

[franpincho]

Yeah. Mp Rodimus 1st and 2nd ed. (takara) was just the definition of the word hell for me. Took about 4 shipments back and forth to get a decent one (1st x3, 2nd ed only once.) but BBTS did handle it like a champ. They even offered me credit for the trouble.
Shame really, nice looking figure but overly ambitious for its own good. Can't even play with the damn thing for fear of breaking it. He will stay in robot form forever.

 

[karamazov80]

Oh yeah. I know about that. Thank goodness I hate Hot Rod's stinking guts, so I never went after that figure I'll cross fingers about this one, but Takara's had enough experience with the MPs that hopefully we won't have those kinds of problems, space rust, etc. here.

 

[franpincho]

So do I bro! But idk, I just had to have him, you know?
Here is hoping that Galvatron will get the MP treatment (PLEASE!!!!!!) and it would just make sense to pose then together. Galvatron beating on him, of course.

Might just stick with BBTS and wait a little longer then.

 

[karamazov80]

I could imagine putting Galvatron on my display. . .with Hot Rod's severed head on a spike next to him.

They should include that as an accessory with Galvatron

 

[Niltusk]

No love for Hot Rod.

 

[DPrime]

Meh, I like Hot Rod.

I like Optimus better, but it's okay to like both.

 

[Jaycepticon]

feels like the old alt.transformers message boards. I thought a majority of fans that grew up finally forgave the guy

 

[karamazov80]

Never forget, and never forgive.

Those who forget their past are doomed to repeat it.

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

Etc.

 

[The 1 Who Knocks]

hey guys, I am looking into getting the renewal MP-10 and the restock MP-05 to display together, they'll be my only TFs. Will they look okay together or should I find an MP-01 or MP-04?

 

[koolkollectibleskhai]

MP-05 will tower over MP-10, so there's no real point in getting these two as they wont match. I would suggest either getting just the MP-10 and waiting for the inevitable MP Megatron in the right scale, or getting an MP-01 or MP-04 to go with an MP-05.

 

[Furyan]

What khai said. MP01 and MP05 limited poseabilty but big and spectacular,MP10 and hopefully Megs V2 smaller but super poseable and great likeness to the cartoons. I couldnt get rid of any of them. Good luck on a decision.

Buy MP10 and wait for the new Megatron which is likely in the next year-18 months.

MP01 looks great in robot mode, better than MP10's overly stylized version but the truck mode isn't great and the diecast adds nothing to it apart from balancing issues that restrict the posing options and a risk of paint chipping....many of them are already chipped in the package.

MP05, to be brutally honest, is a POS. I owned one for about a fortnight and it spent more time in the box than on display because the thing had a tendency to fall over at the drop of a hat.

The transformation is very clever but the fragility of the construction is such that many people don't even try it and that's without mentioning the rust issues that can occur on the feet.

It is the worst Masterpiece so far and has no place in a collection with the other figures released since the line was rebooted ( MP10 onwards ) as aside from the scale not working with anything but the original Prime mold the crappy looking robot mode will stick out like a sore thumb.

 

[koolkollectibleskhai]

I just found what could be the first youtube review on MP-17 Prowl. Now this reviewer sorta gives me the creeps, but I was mainly interested in the figure and tried to block out his um...voice and antics I guess?? Anyway, check it out!!!

I wouldn't say he is the worst. That's Rodimus.
Megatron looks great in gun mode, and if you have the attachment that just toys put out a while back, it looks great. I have it on my wall, fully transformed. It does look silly in hand as it is oversized, but far from a pos.

 

[koolkollectibleskhai]

Going by the MP-17 video, there are some parts that look like a real ***** to transform!!!
