    The guy who I was buying Mp10 off, has changed his mind.

    Is there any news on a UK reissue? I don't fancy paying the horrible Ebay prices and the China ones are probably KO.

    Apparently my Loudpedal has one of his missile mounted backwards. Does anyone know of an easy way to remove it? Looks like it can be flipped if I knew I could remove it without damaging the figure . 8E62F061-E0FA-4E49-B0CC-02AF03F0C489.jpeg

    I don't think they can be flipped they are the same piece. Looks like they used two lefts. But a paper clip and pliers could push the pin out.
    Edit: I think you're right. This pin must be pulled instead of pushed. I've heard using a soldering iron to heat the pin a little to allow you to release the pin from the plastic.

    Alternatively you can also use a proper sized center punch tool or a pin remover/watch strap resizer (got mine from Amazon this morning). Just don't wreak anything else during the process and cause more damage than before.

    I'm thrilled with mine. He sits with the diaclones or stands in as Sixshot from time to time

    Just wanted to leave a post here asking if anyone is interested in a hasbro mp11 starscream? I'm still trying to sell the last of my masterpiece figures and I have one for sale along with a few other figures still.

    Maximum Bragging!
    With the recent ULTRA LULL in MP news and releases I was able to complete, COMPLETE, my MP collection. I own them all now (TT 10-38). The only things I don't have (for good reason) are Hasbro MP Prime, Hasbro MP Soundwave, and Hasbro MP Sunstorm, and MP-14 Red Alert (I sold original Alert, but I'm currently repurchasing this piece).

    The Masterpiece line is the most amazing line of toys that has ever been conceived. Appreciation!

    Your child is the masterpiece in this photo, so it counts. ;) 

    Need to make some photos of my masterpieces (two boys, one 3,5 years old, the other 10 months old) together with my Masterpieces (Transformers). :cool:

    I appreciate that more than you know. I know it's pointless to have a lot of likes but my personal goal is to have more likes than posts. Then I feel I am a worthy contributor to the boards.
