I was told this re-run was done because a business person said he/ she wanted to make 6000 pieces of this hence the license was given to him/ her to produce.

Looking at some of the pics though, it seems there are still mismatches :(
Oh well, lucky he's not a definitely need MP
I think I might have bought this if there were fixes, but if it is just a rerun, I would wait for reasonable prices before I buy one.
I am not sure what to do myself, I really want an MP Sideswipe since i wasn't collecting during the first run and so I was really hanging out for this second run with its QC improvements but there are truly mixed results on TFW2005 regarding this model and it seems like there is a very good chance of ending up with a dud despite paying a lot more for this second run. So disappointing. :mad:
Well looks like you are more desperate than I am as I am in your shoes, and I am not paying overprice RRP for this. I will gladly wait and see if Hasbro will decide to release sideswipe since they have interest in releasing prowl.Quote:

You think the Hasbro version will have better QC than Takara???? :rolleyes:Quote:

Simply put, I am not worried.
It can happen. Hasbro's MP Starscream and Rodimus had improved QC over their Takara counterparts. And even if there's no improvement, as far as the more recent MPs are concerned, even Australian RRPs work out substantially cheaper than TakTOM's. e.g. Hasbro's MP Soundwave has QC issues with the paint apps on the visor which TakTOM's doesn't, but considering that it's approx. $110 cheaper (not incl. postage) than TakTOM's, who's complaining? ;)Quote:
