Transformers questions by newbies, and not-so-newbies

Anyone know any good places in Mildura (VIC) to look for various TF merchandise? Taking the family for an overnight trip today

Thanks! Link describes the other primes but don't think it specifies what is specific to TFC prime.

The other option is that you could take a picture of the bits you're suspicious about and we can tell you if there's anything dodgy going on.

I am not thinking there's anything dodgy. I really just want to check since I'm a noob regarding this.

I only have in-package pics because the toy is still overseas. Below is the ebay description.

I particularly will enjoy the forthcoming reboot that hopefully removes the campy-jokes and gets back to business.
Here, these Japanese Takara Collections are re-issues of the original series in beautiful box sets.

To the best of my knowledge, these sets have been unopened and untouched but some of the original tape has been removed and Im fairly positive someone opened them to look but not touch.

This auction is for both Megatron and Optimus Prime!
Optimus Prime comes with: Optimus Prime Cab Section, Silver Trailer/Combat Deck Section, Scout Car Roller
Exclusive Ring Binder For The TFC Series, TF Playing cards and lots more!

Megatron comes with: Unmodified Megatron figure, Book-style Display Box, Weapons and accessories and more.

^ The diecast colour doesn't the plastic. On all my G1 Prime's the paint on the diecast matches the plastic colour very closely. I don't have this particular version of G1 Prime so it may have issues with colour I'm unaware of, but I have 3 different reissues of him with no problem.

MP-10's height? (Up to tip of horns) Also, anywhere that has MP-10 in stock please. (Takara)

yeah - http://tfsource.com/products/view/product_id/897/ seems to match the colour. Could this be just an effect of lighting (taken by an Iphone 5s/4?) There is pinkimus prime - hasbro reissue (should have shorter smoke stacks).
Ebay link for more photos

The seller could have been duped just the same if he didn't know.

Here are some more online pics - UK - pre owned

another ebay link bit better matching

UK online seller - maybe it's just QC issue

There's an eBay seller by the name of wheeljackslab who sells a heap of TFs. Has anyone bought from this guy? If so, does the seller come recommended?

[Sinnertwin]

JC, If it helps, my single taped MiSB TFC Optimus' cab doesn't match the plastic either
From what i can see, everything else does appear to be in order

Then use your judgement.

Then don't worry about it, it's probably fine.

Thanks, ST!

package was opened by my brother and one of prime's smoke stacks is broken
So much for MIB.
