    I just got one of these finally. The arm panels are all loose and squishy and don't really peg into place. Am I doing something wrong or is that just how he is?

    Overall I think it looks great and the quality of the plastic seems good, he just could have used more ratchets. Seems weird they ratcheted the knees but nothing else.

    The forearm pads lightly hold in place but yea, if you touch them at all they will untab/flatten. I always just pose them last.

    Anybody here know if abctoyshop123 is reliable? Got my Op Ex from him several days ago and not a single update. Am I safe with this seller?

    That's who I got mine through, had no problems. Maybe ask him why there is a delay.

    That's normal. A spot of future floor polish in the clips where they grip his forearm helps a lot to make them less mushy.

    Cool, I can deal with that. Just wanted to make sure I wasn’t overlooking something clearly obvious. I doubt my powers of observation more often now that I’ve reached the autumn years.

    The MP10 hands work, but neither of them color match well. His shade of blue is somewhere between TT and Hasbro and just off enough to stand out. And that makes me sad :C

    Excellent figure.

    Yes, mine needed some screws tightened.

    He could use legs ratchets, but other than that, near perfect TF...

    Check out the Bomber Megatron, too. Twice as good as this fig...

    seller on ebay has him for about 119 i think. I forget his name, If you go to ebay and type in generation toy tyrant, then sort by lowest price, the third or fourth guy has 100% positive!:)
