    I'm definitely keeping mine. All the stories sound like horror stories. I'll open mine to inspect and for the trailer but definitely I intend to keep MP01. He's perfect.

    i've just finish looking at some mp's on ebay and found that mp-1 is sometimes more expensive than mp-4... how stupid is that... paying more for the same version without the trailer.... i really can't understand.

    I've still got my original 20th anniversary Optimus which I am very happy with, I didn't have an issue with the short smokestacks and the quality on this figure was very good.

    (If I was giving someone their first TF, it would probably be Classics Voyager Prime - not MP-4 )
    don't forget about scalpers...

    With the quality issues of this item you may even find the Scalpers having second thoughts.

    Well, I was going to buy one during the sale - but after all the issues, I decided to put it back!

    Hey all,

    I finally got my MP04 today!

    But excitement turned to slight disappointment as I realised what some people have been saying about the quality.

    But I still want to keep it!

    However, my optimus has a thumb missing!!! And I want to go replace it. Would I be able to do that?
