    I got Metroplex from Amazon. The Metroplex box was inside another slightly larger box, but that was it. No other packaging/padding/wrapping.

    I only ever purchase from Amazon if i intend on opening the item. Their packaging material is nonexistant. You may get the odd scrap bit of plastic buffer or paper.

    As I noted in the Amazon items topic, if you are after cheap figures that you intend to open, they are the way to go. Otherwise, pay a little more and shop from somewhere that caters to collectors, not the average consumer.

    Shame on you Amazon.




    I actually didn't cry, but was still not very impressed

    What sort of packaging is this? It's just using the product's box as shipping box

    Not impressed!!

    I preordered this yonks ago . But for those you want that box minty fresh definitely go with BBTS.

    On the bright side, as someone who has never owned and barely ever played with a G1 Predaking THIS TOY KICKS BUTT!!!! I really hope whoever designed this won an award or something.

    The additional sword is definitely a needed addition, though once again it could have been bigger. (It is only an inch longer than Razorclaw's sword)

    I haven't noticed anything serious in the mold degradation department. All accessories peg in tightly and all swivel joints are reasonably tight. Only things I found a little loose are the combiner pegs, but this might be normal?

    Clearly they have learned nothing from the people they pissed off with the Slave I earlier in the year. I have 5 Star Wars 3.75 inch figures on order at Amazon. Surely they will put them in a box.... I hope.

    That might be mold degradation, my 2010 Takara reissue is tight. Is this reissue plastic or die-cast?
