Hmm the only crap one is tracks and road rage, I did want a thundercracker, though it had a broken rudder tip , my money was to get that piece.
You are right, I think I had given enough thought and is insane to continue to support official product however I think I still buy one now and wait for people to open and give reviews and I decide from there whether I still want it or loose it.
There is no way you can wait too long and find the product not available when you want it. I did vote with my wallet, from initial pics of Tracks they look great, until prior to release I noticed things like a visible pin by the window in car mode? Surely there are better ways to do this?
And hang on a sec, nobody ask you to wake up, I am just shock that people are still thinking the MPs line are top notch. By all means this type of support will make takara think they are doing well in cutting corners are an acceptable practice. With all due respect, I believe QC should not be dropped on a highest line product, I rather get a torn box but perfect toy and not the other way around. We are paying more for the current MPs cars so I do have some expectations that it should be better than what's currently already made not go backwards in design and cut paint apps. I don't expect ironhide to be shit but now that I played tracks, I have second thoughts on ironhide and hot rod, don't even think about ramjet shockwave and ratchet for now. Not all MPs are bad, but some like tracks and road rage are sub par to the other cars , even to a red bee which I didn't buy has better brighter red. And here's the thing, I would gladly pay $150 per mp car if they were all properly painted and no issues with QC rather than pay cheap and get crap believing that a masterpiece is a masterpiece not a plastic action figure. This isn't ages 0-3 category.
I like to return to the thread, I think I pre order this. I think people know I don't float around 3p or unauthorized sections. I was considering the oversized mp-10 as from reviews its what a masterpiece should have been even if minus the size factor. Perhaps its easier for me to forgive a KO for not being polished over an official product. Will order one at under $150. I am not even a "movie transformers" fan, I just am amazed by the polished work and product this company has to offer.
I do realise btw I said I will "skip" this piece. but all the talk had just made me turned to the dark side and wanting to see how this piece is like.
