<shuffles.off.to.a.corner.and.cries> :p
While the offer is appreciated, I'd say most people just go to their favourite Youtuber these days anyway so it would be a lot of effort for probably not much practical gain.Quote:

but if you paid RRP at $350, it doesn't feel worth it.
Seeing the various people who broke, scratched and damaged this piece, I dont feel it is a $300 worthy price tag.
Now the plus sides,
It is more scaled to mp-10
It is well balanced in robot form
The colour is alright but one might argue this is a + version rather than normal release.
After attempting to transform him in 40 minutes I gave up as it was taking too much of my time trying to be careful and know what you are doing, and this include looking at instructions and watching youtube.
I love his hands and is shame that MP-10 isn't that standard.
I do like him in his robot form but for gun mode, I don't think is worth it.
I will stop here as I wont compare this to another toy. I am not unhappy with this toy but at the same time, I don't think is worth it at RRP. This excludes all the trouble you need to go through to obtain one.
A great representation of Megatron. The paint job surprised me, I expected a flat grey but the subtle gloss made for a good balance. Unsurprisingly his transformation is complicated and I think he has the highest risk of breakage of all the MPs. But the complication IMO leads to the best bot/combo out there, coming from an owner of Apollyon.
My only real gripe is the way the extended barrel is force-fitted into the gun barrel. Having read stories of scuff and scratches, I wasn't game to put the barrel all the way in. For all the complications in the transformation it seems like such a lazily simplistic way to fit an essential piece.
The thing about MP 36 is not that he's perfect, but the fact that the things they've done right outweigh the wrong by a great margin.
Yeah, but for 23000JPY ($280) one would expect better more durable grade paints.
Amen.Quote:

And I am excluding the trouble and effort we need to get permits just to get the toy.
Yes in robot form, it is the best representation of Megatron.
I believe this toy will drop to price like 18,000 and under in time to come.
So I got the re-issue yesterday and just opened it up. Initial excitement was quickly tempered by seeing some paint chips and stuff on the chest and helmet and also 2 of the panels on the groin area do not have the 'metallic/sparkle' finish on them so they stand out in a darker, duller colour. sigh.
While I definitely think it's one of the best engineered Masterpiece figures ever made, there is one thing I'm disappointed with. There's one extra feature that should have been included and had the gun barrel been better engineered, it could have happened - namely being able to recreate the scene from Heavy Metal War where Megatron fires a cluster bomb at Prime. Sadly while there is little reason why the pistol barren couldn't have been engineered to fully bend around to be a waist mounted blaster, the engineering design of the barrel is engineered in such a way that it limits it.
The other thing I've noticed is that on the reissue, the silencer doesn't move anymore, meaning that you can't do the 45 degree twist fix anymore.
It's a frustrating 8.5/10 when 2 tiny extra things would have made it a 10/10.
