Hmmmm.. will do the spoon test here.Originally Posted by Tober
Mine doesn't seem to have diecast either.If I raise the chest and squeeze the sides gently I'm sure I can feel it bending in, and when I tap it with a spoon it doesn't make that metal-to-metal 'cling' sound... Not even the chrome hinges on the back are diecast.
Also, hopefully in the next few weeks i can preorder the new MP's as well but it makes it a very long wait to get them
EDIT: I tapped "diecast" and plastic parts MP11 parts with a spoon and could not really hear a difference. I looked closely at MP03g and MP11 and could not really see a difference. Then i scrapped the black "diecast" spine of MP11 with the spoon and saw the shiny silver of metal below. Maybe it is a different metal compound (I did not want to try and flex it) but I would still call mine diecast. If some MP11's have metal spines and others not then this is a running change during production. Interesting..
