Words of warning to potential MP-2 buyers

Fair point.

Sorry to hear that.
Might have to use that contact form to see if I could get the correct ball joint on my Henkei Sunstreaker - they gave me two left ones, so I have to disconnect the foot to transform into alt mode.

Are you sure the defects with the MP Ultra Magnus reissue is a common occurence or were you just unlucky in getting a defective one? *shrug*

I would be interested to know if other people suffer similar QC problems, but I've posted this thread in the hopes that people avoid buying him, and spare themselves the trouble.

I reckon most folks just grabbed an original MP Magnus when it was available in Australian Target stores for $75. benben tried to sell his here (repeatedly) and nobody was interested.

I read up on my camera and found how to focus on small objects so I can show you what I'm talking about.

(1). The mound of plastic I mentioned on his right arm. It looks small but I still feel it shouldn't be there at all.

(2 - 5). Shots of his legs from the front showing the bad paint applications.

(6). The point on the back of his leg where it looks like someone painted over a touched point.

(7). The warped right door compared to the fine left door. Again it looks somewhat small but it still shouldn't be there.

(8 - 9). Chipping and bad paint apps beneath his chest doors.

Wow I see what you mean, very disappointing.. Will be interesting to see what other peoples turn out like who have already purchased.. and if RK or TakTom will reply

[jaydisc]

WOW! That is shockingly bad! My condolences again.

Well, it's reassuring to know it wasn't just me being pedantic.
