    Yes, I agree. Initially, I was on the fence with him but I decided to bite the bullet when I saw my friend's SS and the reviews here sold him.

    His colours, durability (compared to the previous mold) etc is pretty good! I can't wait for Soundwave and Megatron version 2!

    I know but I'd hate to order one and then find out shortly after buying him there's gonna be a U.S version.:lol 


    Damn my cheapness, maybe if I make a few more sales I'll bite the bullet on him.

    Well I've just tried multiple times to buy from there and it keeps going from Paypal back to the order page. Everything on the page is filled out so I don't know what's up and it's not worth the aggravation of trying over and over again.

    They are a great store. They are local for me here in Chicago, so I can actually go into the store front. Can't say enough good. Only bad thing is as things become more rare in online stores or sought after by fans, they will increase prices to match the eBay demand.

    Damn, that's a steal for such a beautiful toy!!

    Still, don't regret paying full price. MP11 is the Starscream toy I always wanted.

    That's odd. I just went to that link to check it out, but the price is now $169.99, plus 5.99 shipping. The listing says it still saves $20 off of retail. Did ToyNK increase the price then? Or was there a mistake?

    I've bought from them before and like them.

    Doesn't fix my main issue with the MP3 mold - the bloody chest doesn't lock into anything, so fiddling with the arms begins to untransform the figure.

    The iGear revision has a longer tab on the diecast frame that allows the nosecone to completely peg in. Lengthening the tab may be the only way for the chest to actually lock in place. There's also the possibility of swapping the frame from an iGear seeker with MP-11, assuming they're the exact same dimensions and can be disassembled the same way.

    Wait, the Igear version's metal tab locks in whereas the TakTom one doesn't?



    Maybe I shouldn't have sold off all of my IGear Seekers after all.:redface2:

    The chest on my sample of MP-11 locks into place perfectly. I have yet to have anything besides one minor gripe with this mould.
