They're fun - I like the way they retain their G1 scale. The piledrivers are good as a backpack, but don't seem to stay on Frenzy's arms so well. Also received Masterpiece Soundwave, Laserbeak, Rumble and Ravage (in the background), but I'm not yet 100% sure I want to open and keep those ones. (Edit: I've worked out how to click on the 'hammer arms'. Which means he's one of the least-flawed Masterpiece toys.)
I might do the same soon.:cool:Quote:

Not sure what all this talk about double-taped is all about, mine is obviously the first batch and its single-taped. If I recall correctly, this rumour came from TFSource... maybe just so they can get their name in the news *shrugs*
Now I have a decision to make - to open or not to open :confused: I think I'll leave him sealed for now (that box art is sexy :cool:).
My MP 15 & 16 also came in today from Chimungmung!! Can't wait to open them up tonight!!!:DQuote:

Luckily I was here when he did.:cool:;)
The centerpiece for my TC collection is here!
(packed with some lovely air cushion things too:p:D)
Glad to hear you got it safe and sound.
Me too. I was getting down this morning that he hadn't come yet, but I was in for a surprise.;)
Wish the chest unit was silver though, but it's still pretty snazzy already.:cool:
It's making me want Screamer SOOOOO bad!!!!:D:eek:
You know, the art doesn't get any less sexy if he's not in it…Quote:

Hmm, this is a common problem, and i'm not certain on a good fix for it. My usa edition mp starscream had this issue but it was due to excess paint, which i scrapped off and it stays snuggly in now. I wouldn't use glue on it as it could cause the piece to stay in a permanent position. You could try a tiny bit of varnish and see how that works.Quote:

NEED that Hasbro Soundwave.:eek::D
(Also means I feel worse about Prime:()
Haha, oh i fear for you, its a very expensive line but most the toys in it are worth it. I recommend you have yourself a rule, like maybe only buy the hasbro toys in the future and avoid takara. Cause i didn't set myself a rule, i ended up buying toys from both lines, and with my OCD, i now have to complete and continue buying from both Takara and Hasbro.:rolleyes:Quote:

This is mainly because I have my collection on display in cabinets and it would take far too much effort to reshuffle everything in order to make room.Quote:

Have you popped them? They're heaps fun to pop! :D (arguably more fun than bubblewrap ;))Quote:

As Trent said, that box ain't gonna get any less prettier if you've opened it or not. ;)Quote:

Yep. Next on the list is probably Encore TC and SW (mainly for TC:D) or I might save up HEAPS for the Botcon Shattered Glass Thundercracker.;):eek: (Action Masters paint scheme)
Thank you to Gutsman Heavy for Jolt!

He's pretty cool ain't he? I also have Starscream in that mold and am trying to work out if Skywarp will see a release in that mold or if I should just get the Hasbro MP-3 mold. But that's another story.Quote:

Told you not to worry. ;)Quote:
