The more they hate it, the more are actually interested in it.

 

And I pointed that out in my quote. Not everything's fixed, but it usually isn't any worse. And there's hope that it might get fixed.

 

Both MPM primes suffered 1 major universal production problem. That’s not exactly what I consider a “QC issue”. In the traditional sense, there really haven’t been any QC problems in the rebooted MPM line, paint apps are crisp, joints are tight, and accessory fit is pretty darn good.

And I haven’t been reading most threads aside from the MP speculation thread very thoroughly, someone wanna summarize the hate for me?

 

Well, considering TRU is going byebye. you might be better off get the MPM-6 from HLJ.

 

He isn’t a toys r us exclusive. The first press releases we got stated he’d be available at most major retailers.

 

Ah, ok didn't realize that my bad.

 

Um...he's not perfect? MPM-6 isn't being forged from a dwarf star? People still hate the Bayverse designs but want to buy toys based off of them? Idk.

Also, speaking of QC issues, Hasbro's MPM-3 has none to speak of...and the QC issues only pop up on mass retail toys that are $20 or so. The MPMs are being "co-produced" by Hasbro and Takara, to my knowledge. The design changes are minimal, and the QC is top-notch.

 

No dwarf star alloy you say? So he can’t shrink down to pocket size and grow to the size of a real pickup??? FAIL HABRO!!! If I can’t drive around in my MPMs while also carrying them in my pocket for convenience, then there’s just no point.

 

....what?

Please explain what I could have possibly said in my post that warranted that response.

 

People seem to forget that the MPM’s are made in the same factory that Takara uses for the G1 MP’s.....
So I think QC wise there is little to no difference between the two releases.

Not to mention HasTaks brand unification operation is now in full swing I reckon.

 

Have MPM's been seen on shelves anywhere else besides TRU? I've gotten all mine online and haven't seen any on shelves anywhere (not really surprising). I've read about TRU sightings, but I don't recall reading about any other domestic sightings (except maybe hobby shops- which is pretty much the same as online).

 

As the first 3 are TRU exclusives, I highly doubt that they’d be found in other stores

 

Do we have a rlease date on this guy yet?

 

July hasbro, september TT

 

Wich it's a good sign.

However, i hope it doesn't means:

"avamiable in the same stores as you bought MPM3 and 4 but not in TRU".

 

Heres our first look at prototype MPM VW bee.

 

That Ironhide is almost too big... I know when looking at the group shot of the actual 2007 vehicles he looks right but something in this spread makes him look just a tad too big.

 

1. MP=bot mode>alt. Mode
2. These are oversized KOs so the relative size might be off

 

yup those are oversized kos and some people wonder how they got the mold so quick and its most likely because the movie got pushed back so they had to have this originally made and done before they decided to push it to december

 

But QC issue means literally Quality Control problem in the production.



Let's just say universal qc issue.
