    Got a feeling optimus was rushed released, you know like when we get games released too early so retailers have to start pumping them out while whoever did it gets in trouble?

    Perhaps prime for japan was intended for december or something, otherwise he would of taken black convoy's place

    TakaraTOMY Mall now have their listing of MPM-4 up, which includes stock photos.

    The Takara version looks to have some extra paint over the Hasbro version, as well as light blue pinstriping on the flames instead of the Hasbro version's silver. The grey plastic looks lighter, too.

    Interestingly, their stock photos still have the exposed grey hinges below the windscreens on the chest, where those hinges were concealed on the final Hasbro version. I've read some speculation online that modifications to conceal the hinges just before the figure went into production may have been responsible for the misalignment issues that plague many examples of the Hasbro version.

    Craaaaap.

    HLJ, amiami and hobbysearch are on order stop, can I trust Anime exporter or is it just a japanese version of they who must never be mentioned?

    Unless anyone else has suggestions...don't want to fall back on using a proxy service, NEED mpm04 to match my takara mpm03

    When you buy AE just buy it and dont change your mind. If you cool with that, no issues. Once you start altering the order or change your mind is where hell breaks loose.

    IMO get it and juts stick with it.

    I'm not sure about this figure tbh....

    I've recently become a fan of the movie figures but after hearing the reviews online about the truck mode panels not lining up I'm about 50/50 on this one.

    If the Takara version fixes this issue, I think it's a must buy for movie fans

    is a skip for me, I seen mpm-bee and they screwed up with two right arm joints. To me, it amazes me that for the highest line is still having defects.
    I am now worried about sunstreaker.

    From what some are saying even that doesn't work, it seems to vary from figure to figure.
