    Unhappy

    I've got my MP04 on layby at Target. With all these QC issues I've been hearing on the forum, I'm not feeling real confident about mine

    However, my optimus has a thumb missing!!! And I want to go replace it. Would I be able to do that?
    Thumb missing?!?
    Personally i'd go buy another one, take it home and check if its ok, then return the thumb missing one.

    I've got two of them now, the worst I can say about mine are imperfect paintwork and loose fitting left legs.

    Though I have to say, you know QC is bad when you find two stat cards with ur instructions instead of one

    (EDIT: Ohhh the engrish)

    I got mine from RK a couple of months ago for not much more than what Target has them & I can't find anything faulty with my MP-4 at all...

    How can TakaraTomy make one great production run of MP-4s & a seemingly less-than-great production run a short time later...

    So... we have a missing hydraulic, a missing front wheel, and now a missing thumb. I wonder what will be next?
