    I have to admit, if the only transformer I owned was Hasbro MP-10, I couldn't complain.

    I'll complain because I was never able to find him lol. It's too bad, I'd really like one but I don't want to pay $200. Oh well.

    Oh I almost forgot. If anybodys interested, I kept the guys number (pm me) if somebody wants an mp10. If I didnt get one that day, I wouldve bought one off that guy. Mp10 truly is a marvel, after the screw fix, I spent the entire day with him, even ditching the wife claiming to spend time with an old reaquainted friend. :)  i honestly haven't been this happy since I was 12 years old.

    I reluctantly paid $175. But bro i'm here to tell you, he's well worth the $200 you might have to drop on him.

    The screws on the inside of MP-10 can (and will) scratch the bumper chrome a bit if you fully close the chest doors in robot mode.

    So ASAP open those doors and remove the 2 black screws closest to the center. The plastic chest piece will stay in place from friction. Place them in storage in case you need them latter on. Done.

    Alternatively, I've heard of people removing all the screws and/or filling down the ends of the screws.

    I just gave mine a couple twists with the screwdriver and they sit nice and flush, without poking through on the opposite side. Just a couple of twists though!

    I keep encountering cloudy days etc when I remember I haven't done so yet. Some day I'll actually remember to do it AND have decent lighting.

    Im a tight wad with some stuff...but after I have had it in my hands..I would gladly encourage anyone to pay up to $175-$200 for this one.

    Why?

    Its the best Transformer Ive seen. Its a work of art and tech design.

    its also gunna climb up in price, so not as an "investment" per say, but you cant really go wrong here. buy it for $175...and if you ever get in a pinch, you could get that money back on the opened figure no prob.

    THIS is the figure that makes me look at my deluxe and voyager collection and just want to sell it all for more MPs.

    yup, couldnt agree with everyone here more. I wasnt even THAT into toys when I was little (more into video games) let alone transformers. This guy, mp10 alone, swayed me. Thats how impactful he is..now that uk is getting them, more people who share my feelings.

    Oh I realize they're not necessary, but I have this thing about taking parts out of/off my figures. Basically it drives me nuts knowing that something's not there that should be.

    Finally got my mitts on him. He really is Zoolander level gorgeous.

    Love the colours and the posture. I think IDW needs to have a good long stare at this guy and realise that Prime is not an emo.
