Target's MP04 Optimus Quality Issues (serious enough to be news-worthy)

[Robzy]

So, um... what's the general consensus with this thing?

Is it worth getting? Or are the QC problems just too much, not to mention too frequent? QC problems Vs the price?

At this stage, I'm only considering getting him because the box is so nice (what a ridiculous reason )

I'm very undecided... I'd love to hear what others think in regard to the above questions...

Well put it this way, If you plan on keeping it MISB all its life, it can be missing both legs for all you know but that wont matter one little bit as no one, including yourself, will ever know about it.

So far we have:

a missing hydraulic,
a missing front wheel,
a missing thumb,
a missing front tyre,
a missing front light...

This list is on fire~!

well it was actually my friends. I havent opened mine yet and i dont think i want to anymore. They sold out at the target here so there's no returning option for me!

Maybe they are disappearing from the shelves so fast because Target are removing them or exchanging them due to QC problems.
It's almost like these are all the rejected returns from the (first/only?) production run, and Hasbro AU and Target got stuck with them by accident/intentionally by Takaratomy. Or someone at Hasbro told them not to waste throwing them away, that they could make a few dollars selling them off in a backwater western market.

[iceburn]

is it possible to ask Hasbro Australia why this is happening?

And to also ask if we can exchange it with them (if it's got QC problems, and the store has sold out!)???

Whats more likely is that MP4's are returned/unsold MP1's that just got boxed with the new fandangled trailer. I suspect so because the new fandangled trailers are immaculate and I haven't heard much wrong about them.
