Whaaaa! The way TT MP boxes are you should've just bought an empty box

LOL! but where does one put his 4th version of this mold? Also thinking of boxing up my MP4 I just have no more room to display stuff =/ You guys should do a topic on this on the podcast
Display don't play? MISB stored away? you know something along those lines.

When you go to sell it:

"MISB. Never displayed, box never fondled, hardly even looked at, pet free, smoke free, kid free, dust free, oxygen free, love free, practically fresh from the factory, back when they produced it, so basically like a time traveler."

I know I'm usually PRETTY surprised by the prices people charge for just the boxes on Ebay...

I do both... I buy MPs in duplicate

Though I still need my second Wheeljack / Exhaust / Skywarp...

Also, slightly OT but I just paid for my Unite Warriors Superion through HLJ!

Oh. My. Gawd.

Did anyone else notice in the recent (re: this week) BBTS email that they are advertising MP-10 as a "all-new mold"?! I'm interested to see the actual differences. They already fixed most of the panel gap of the first run in the subsequent runs didn't they?

I'd wager that's a leftover description from the first time MP-10 was released.

I thought so too and couldn't really find anything in the description on the website that pointed out otherwise. Here's the image from the email.

If it were 'all-new', I'm sure they'd give it a variant or 'all-new' MP number designation... This is more likely a straight reissue.

If that is true, it will be my first disappointment with BBTS

The description goes on to say it's not mp-1... which is weird. When I ordered him a month ago it didn't say 'all new'... so who knows....

People have these in hand. It's a straight reissue. Marketing materials from the first time MP-10 was released are being used again. Case closed, move on, don't expect anything different.

Wilco.

So Lambor, another straight reissue or mold fixes? Pretty happy I can pick one up for $70 since who knows when the Hasbro version will actually be released in the U.S.

I'd love to know whether the paint apps are better on Lambor this time around. Would be nice to have higher paint quality, and consistent coloration on the red in alt mode so it looks like quality befitting a Lamborghini, not a knock-off. Same with the panel gaps. That red mismatch on ENTIRE PANELS (thanks to the black plastic underneath and no primer coat under the red paint) is really unacceptable for an $80 "Masterpiece" figure. When the entire roof and door panels mismatch the color like that, it looks like Sideswipe was in an accident and went to a cheap bodyshop that couldn't match the paint properly for his repairs.

Even the G2 (black) Lambor has paint application quality and panel gap issues.

Hoping the reissue fixes these issues.

Sure, 17,600 was HLJ's preorder price, but it's been in stock for close to 2 weeks now, and no change.
