According to TFW2005, from a JP website, the MP4 Convoy with Trailer set is being re-released by TakaraTomy in October. So anyone who missed out from the first release a few years back, or the release in Target here late last year, this will be another chance to get one at first-hand prices (it'll still be expensive though, it's a huge set).

It will probably have great QC for people in Japan and the ones that eventually get released here at Targets will be the rejects.

It may be 'baseless rubbish' but gargantuan amounts of bad QC Primes we got with the Target MP4s cannot be denied. I got lucky too, I bought one with no noticeable QC but that doesn't explain all the other people who got a dodgy one and mentioned it on this board.

This is a second re-release.

The first re-release available in Hong Kong last year from Hasbro HK reportedly had very poor QC and paint jobs as well. And I believe the 5000 received by our Target here were from the same production batch.

I'm not referring to the QC. I'm referring to your baseless claim that Australia received rejects.

"Probably" is hardly a claim as its not absolute. I didn't claim that Australia had received rejects either. You are twisting what I said and getting worked up for no reason.

Relax dude.

Wow anyone else get a feeling of deja vu? :rolleyes:

How often can they keep re-re-releasing Masterpiece toys?

They should call them MP-4.02 etc so we know what we're getting :D

Relax dude.

Why make the claim in the firstplace when it doesn't even have a basis then?

Why I don't I just go:

"ROTF Devastator will probably have great paint applications for people in the US and the Devastators that get released here will be the rejects."

:rolleyes:

It was a joke for Primus' sake. I saw it. I laughed. My MP4 from Target was crap.

Come on guys you're all blowing this one line all out of proportion. :rolleyes: :mad:

+ 1 to Paul's comment.

Guys, all of us please relax and stop. None of us will know what the QC of this release will be like until October. I apologise for making this comment myself earlier:

In the past, rumors have spread that Australia has gotten rejects, which official sources have outright rejected. If this is how those rumors start, joking or not, it seems appropriate that there's also a voice pointing out that there is no basis for such claims.

If you say so but I am sure that such a voice would be heard much more clearly without an emotional connotation behind it.
