    It can sometimes take time for your payment to go through at Aliexpress. I'm not sure what the reason is, it took about 24 hours once for my payment to go through for an item that was already in stock...

    I hope that they make the "toon accurate" white thigh and waist version next.

    Tf direct is closest to us. Sir toys is another option but idk if Paul is getting them.

    The only US seller I know of that sells KO Transformers is Acestoystore. He carried previous KO mp10 versions.

    does uncle billy ever raise the prices of the KO MP-10 at release time in the past or is it pretty safe to say, wait until release and then order? Price is good but I hate the idea of prepaying for a preorder. need me dat white ooooltra magoonus

    I would absolutely recommend TF Direct. I've ordered from them before and their customer service is stellar. In fact I just returned a defective product to them and used the credit to preorder a white MP 10!

    That's who I ordered from. I'm tempted to order some cars in few months.

    I bought a KO MP10 version 2, and it was the worst decision ever… Perhaps it was just the one I received, but it was terrible in quality.

    The additional silver paint app was good, but not perfect. Slight over paint on the edges. But the thing that irritated me the most was that the entire inner side/front of the left leg had NO paint. It looked like they skipped this piece all together (like 60% of the left leg). The paint on the foot (diecast) was chipping. The chrome gas tanks were smudged and peeling as well.

    I’m sure some people may have bought this and the quality would have been okay, but I don’t recommend it at all. I would recommend getting the Hasbro/Takara one, and just doing the paint yourself. That quality really does make a difference on the enjoyment of the figure.

    One big difference you forgot to mention in your review which alot of people miss is the colour of the windscreen. On the Official Bape version its tinted yellow. On the KO it's clear.
