Words of warning to potential MP-2 buyers

[Adzma]

Yeah what Kup said, Skywarp should be fine so I wouldn't worry about it. Also since I opened a PayPal dispute, RK are happy to listen to me. Funny that isn't it?

I hope they exchange a new piece for you Adzma. Its the only decent thing for them to do.

I opened my MP-02 last week and at a glance it looked ok. I'll have to relook at it I suppose.

Transform it at least once. You don't really notice things until you do.

Check the edges of the metal particularly on the chest doors and check to see if the paint on the legs is not flaking off. It would also be a good idea to check the stability of the upper leg joints for misshapen or mis assembled plactic.

I haven't transformed any of my MP's yet, the only one I have even opened was the naughty one. I'm glad I got an MP-02 UMagnus a couple of years ago. Good luck with your dispute Adzma.

i only got this MP-02 cos the seller packaged it with T-cracker and sold the 2 to me cheap (and the fact that someone out there might actually make a custom MP-02 armour is another factor. Don't want to be caught without MP-02 when the armour does get made!). Under normal circumstances, I wouldn't even consider getting it.

But I'll check it nonetheless. Detest sucky quality.

Today this thread deserves an update, as I received a little surprise in my Inbox and this is what it said:

Hi,

please provide your paypal account e-mail,
so we can send you the shipping cost payment,
and you send back the item to HongKong,

And after we received your parcel,
we will refund you the money for the order.

Thanks,

RK have actually offered to cover the shipping cost back to Hong Kong! This has brightened me up a lot because if they hadn't I probably would've made back maybe $10-20 of the actual figure itself because of the cost of shipping it here in the first place, then having to send it back. And turtle boy, it seems I was just really unlucky with my Magnus, as this guy's is perfectly fine except for the upside down headlights, which can apparantely be fixed anyhow.

EDIT: Although this doesn't mean I was the only person to get a shocking one.

Wow! Kudos to RK! Along with my apologies to them for my lack of faith! Congrats Adzma!

[Kyle]

A happy ending.

New developments as of the past couple of days. They've now offered a refund of $39.95, half of a brand new Magnus that they will send me and I don't need to return my current one. Here's the email:

Hi,

I mean we offer half price US$39.95 for this Ultra Magnus, and will you want
to get it?

That mean we will refund the half price US$39.95 for the magnus, and you
keep this ultra magnus, and no need to ship back.

Thanks,

I'm a little cautious about getting a new one, because while there have been some that are in perfect condition, minus the upside headlights which seem to be widespread, there are others like mine. Still I haven't had much luck finding a 2004 issue. What do you guys think?
