Out of import's hands now.

Come to papi. Though I love MPM-4, my expectations of MPM have been dashed. Here's hoping MPM-3 can set them right, and bring me to expect more from official products once amore. I accept that MPMs are produced on a different budget than the rest of the MP line, and that there will always be something in quality that inherently sets MP > MPM, but an MPM figure should still be fully capable, and most of all not manufactured with flaws

my scolding of Hasbro right now is the equivalent of if I had a child that reached into the cookie jar via standing uncreatively on a stool. I'd applaud/commend the effort, but believe my child could have been more covert and imaginative as to how to achieve their goal

 

I think our problem is that Optimus MPM screwed all our hope for the quality build in the next figures (even though he's not awfully boring as every rotf leader i have), if they didn't screwed him in the hood and some other aspects in design, the way they did, i would say it's a far more impressive MP than the MP-10.

 

Package now in retention, missed the package due to being in class. I can do pickup tomorrow

Don't take away from this that the lesson is to be a bad boy and ditch classes to wait on packages >XD

 

I've had this guy for a week now and I absolutely love him! Not just the best Movie Bumblebee, but he is one of the best Transformers that I own. Definitely a Masterpiece, at least in my opinion.

 

I wonder if Takara will quickly re-release this guy. I'd prefer the Takara version because I like their eyes better, and would like a shot at an AmiAmi listing that doesn't close in seconds or I miss out on any reopenings (I at least got in on MPM-4 this month from them after they reopened it for a little bit).

 

Hey, funny question, but @PoweredConvoy, do you mind if I use some of these visuals in a 590 x 398 collage for a school assignment? My coursework is to write up a blog for a "how to" topic, and I chose how to collect Transformers: Masterpiece figures. I'll privately PM those interested in seeing it when it's finished. Thanks!  

 

Please feel free. Thanks.

Randy

 

Up for admiration later. I got a math quiz to study for. Really satisfied with this packing, I wish all MPM boxes were plastic-wrapped in retailer

 

You're gonna need the whole weekend to enjoy your new acquisition.

 

Who still sells the japanese version?

 

It's a 2-month overdue order shipped courtesy of HLJ, used their Private Warehouse almost to its full extent because I could never get a clear answer regarding when I was supposed to move

 

Ahhhhh, gotcha.

 

Takara Tomy Masterpiece Movie Series - MPM-3 BumblebeeTakara Tomy Masterpiece Movie Series - MPM-3 Bumblebee

If you're interested, TFSource is down to their last one. I'm very surprised how well this one in particular is selling. Best price I've seen it sell for (Japanese version) outside of HLJ was on Ebay for $125 shipped

Popped the seal and fondled him some, did one transformation to robot and back. Figure easily usurps MPM-4

 

I feel ya. And MPM-3 was supposed to be an impulse purchase in like, a day, rather than MPM-4 which I've been eyeing for since April.

The thing just rolls too damn smoothly.

 

And gone.  

 

Did you make the acquisition?

 

Nope.


It's all good though, I've been buying too much stuff lately anyway.  

 

Soooooo...just a heads up, in a matter of 48 hours, all 200 copies of prime and 400 copies of bee have arrived at my store's DC and been shipped out. Happy hunting!!!

 

My store got its second batch in today. I kinda wanna get a second one to attempt the extreme heavy/scratch high octane reshell that @HnH has thought about doing himself.

Edit: just a note this run has the TRU exclusive sticker on it.

 

Well the idea is still a wip but surely it's a thing i'm going to do.
Love the 67/68 camaro and the high octane colorscheme
