Yeah was a PC tomy mall
I do not know about my PC one, but the one I had from Japan T mall was all sealed + bubble wrap.
mine from PC just came in with coin and 2 manuals (japanese and chinese) just like skywarp so I believe this is from Hasbro Asia and it is not double taped...good for the MISB collectors.
their response
Hi Cam,
they are a combination of japanese and HK releases.
second round Pre Order is a mix of both, I understand most HK releases are like this
If that is the case and mine is HK, where is my coin then ?
Got in the very first minute of preorders so I miss out on a coin.:( Nah, just kidding, I don't collect the coins.:p
same, didn't bother me for the low price as compared to buying from t mall which cost me more as well.Quote:

edit just saw millhouse's post at december acquisitions and it is factory defect and not a fault on PC's side...oh well :rolleyes:
anyone have a coin they don't want , let me know
I got my 1st round order straight away from Premium Collectables, but still haven't heard anything about my 2nd round order placed on Aug 12. I know a few people received their 2nd round order here and that PC was receiving them in stages. I got in late in the 2nd round order so I guess I'm waiting for another batch to arrive. Anyone else still waiting for their order? If so what round and date?
2nd round expect 21st to arriveQuote:

Are you expecting your 2nd round to arrive the 21st or PC are expecting their 2nd round to arrive on the 21st?Quote:

Got a feeling Premium Collectables is 2nd's world in disguise. Tiny ding, huge savings!
I think servers went down?
My thundercracker damaged rudder

Offered $165 if anyone wants it before I return it.
Your selling it? I'll take it
Do you have someone in Japan who can contact Takara for you? They used to be good at replacing broken parts.Quote:

Too much hassle. It will be as good as repair this myself only I don't have the time lately.Quote:

Yeh sorry to be a pain, I PM'd and posted a message last night but they got wiped during the server crash.Quote:

Yup, muchos gracias Drifand. And stay safe with the bushfires.
Finally the Thundercracker I've been looking for. I've had TT MP07 and the TRU TT, this is the cartoon accurate mold/colour I want. I'll admit I only nabbed it because Drifand was selling it at a bargain, the break wasn't a huge issue for me. Certainly found it difficult paying $300+ for something I've already bought twice.
Now for a MP-11 Skywarp to be released at a reasonable price...
I would wait for Hasbro skywarp.
Hope my next thundercracker is perfect.
Which country was he made in? China or Viet Nam?
I've been reading the horror stories over at TFW2005 and Seibertron and whichever factory he came from really dropped the bomb!
Actually aside from my machine gunned box (heaps of small dents on corner of the front of the box) I just noticed a long scratch on the right leg. I cant complain on that after i saw drifand's broken rear wing, which i also rechecked mine again.Quote:

If my next thundercracker is still a flop, I very much may quit collecting MPs altogether, I definitely not buy anymore apart from hound, jazz mirage and that will be it.
If these toys were $120 a pop, I would just close an eye. They are not, and being they skip on stand and rockets, how hard is it to get QC right?
Vote with your wallet. :)
Second one just came, I have stress marks on the leg areas. Kinda clumsy QC but better than a broken rudder tip.
So I had already posted the problem with my thundercracker but it got lost in the sever crash and I was too lazy to write it again:).
So the problem was that I was unable to transform him because the head was getting jammed in that arched bit. I have none of these problems with my other 3 mp-11 moulds.
So I finally got around to figuring out whats wrong and I have found that the little piece with the ball joint that the head sits on is longer on Mp-11T meaning he can't transform without the head being removed.
Which is fine by me as I have no plans to display in alt mode but its still quite a major QC issue. Ive basically bought something that doesn't work! thanks TT
After my first bad experience, I took out from the box and just checked in robot mode and displayed. I have not had the chance to transform it.Quote:
