It's Official - MP-36 is a new Megatron

[Jazzman]

You've owned a toy for 9 years that you've never transformed? The little tabs are fragile, I did end up snapping off one of those, and the shoulder panels are prone to falling off (but are easy to put back on). But the transformation is a combination of being heinously difficult/complex and counter-intuitive which leads to it being more frustrating than fun to transform. Other toys like Big Convoy, BT/ALT Grimlock/Wheeljack and RotF Leader Optimus Prime tend to suffer from this. Toys like MP Ironhide/Ratchet are complex toy, but they're intuitive and fun to transform. All the post-MP10 MPs are generally fun and intuitive, which has possibly contributed to the rise in popularity in this line (which translates to TakaraTOMY producing more figures to satiate consumer demand).

Haha, nah only got into collecting again 3 years ago and that's when I scored him... been on display since. One good thing, though - he never fell over during the Mackay earthquake a few months back. I heard he can shatter.

Errr...I've owned my MP05 for 9 years and never Transformed him. Also, I display him without tbe fusion cannon as it's way too heavy. He holds his pistol instead.

Mine is displayed using a doll stand to hold him upright. Works fine and can't really notice it. But I do want this one

I find it amusing that the US require an orange plug in an hair dryer sized plastic gun yet almost anyone can wander into Walnart and buy a rifle!

I broke my MP5 whilst transforming him...the arm snapped off at the swivel. It's an annoying "C" shape broken in half which makes it nearly impossible to fix as it is a piece which clicks into place and thus placed under strain.

My MP5 sits boxed in the cupboard now.

I thought that survey was rather pointless.

I thought that survey was rather pointless.

I see the survey more as an expression of interest to see if it's worth PC's time to get the paperwork. I don't think they know yet whether there will be any costs associated.

once imported tho, would PC knowingly sell to states that have either banned or require a permit to own

Or will they simply waive all responsibility and liability and put that back on the buyer so if anything happens once it leaves PC HQ, it's not their problem regardless if it reaches the intended recipient or not..?

Yeah, that's going to be interesting to see what they do!

:-/ a survey that basically will result in all answers being buying from PC at any cost...

And there's no fee/cost to obtain an import permit in QLD.. pretty much anyone can just fill in the form and submit it for free. so that part of the survey is strange..

Good question is probably PC wants to see if it's worth selling it to us or making a good reason for a price increase on this piece.

Obviously for wa we will judge which is cheaper as paper work is free to begin with.
