    He got MP Soundwave through a friend of his. It came without the package. All of it was in bubble wrap & plastic baggies.

    He first posted photos and then made the review as a special "see-it-here-first" exclusive for the Dairycon Members in the Dairycon FB Group.

    Again, he was trying to do something really cool for the Dairycon members since he too attends Dairycon.

    He wasn't being malicious in any way.

    His Photobucket has some images in it as well.

    I'm not suggesting he was being malicious, just that if this was the full release then the box and innards would have been part of the review.

    Ppl can now at least something with that link tho now :thumb

    didn't mean to post that part in your quote.

    I just noticed there was some folks complaining so I felt I had to say something to clear the air. :lol

    Thanks for the info. If we are a member of tformers could we watch it then? It just sucks that he has the review (poor quality or not) just sitting on the shelve doing nothing. Thielmj1 if you're reading this, please let us see it.

    It's just weird... I watched the review before he made it private and I didn't notice any big issues. Some nitpicks maybe, but nothing that'd warrant taking it offline. It was the first great look we got at the figure too, pretty unfortunate.

    Looking at the bot mode, it was always clear the back of the cassette would suffer. There were no panels or anything to cover it up. Still, could be worse. No horrible gaps or anything. Just some miss matched bits and pieces. Front looks good enough to cover. Only feature I'd have like to see added would have been a detachable belt clip. Other than that, it was worth the sacrifice for the great bot and cool features like the cassette pushing forward.

    As for the hips, it's a bit worrying, but I don't expect a huge issue in the long run. I'll know to be careful with it, though.

    I have a feeling the video won't be back up until hours before the release date.
    There seems to be some legal issues involved since photos and discussion articles
    are being taken down all over the net "upon request". :(

    There is no legal issue. He took the video down because he wasn't happy with the quality, and plans to get it back up asap. That's literally it.

    AND people complained about the quality, way, way too much. Let's tell the whole story here.

    People like Lazerwave and myself, both of whom haven't seen it, get shafted because people felt the need to pick on a guy who was sick at the time.

    And that's really how it went down.

    I did watched the video.

    I had no complaints about the quality.

    I just wanted to watch it again and dream about the day I get mine.

    Only a few more days/weeks if you've got a pre-order.

    Amazing that a simple video review has turned into Videogate.

    Last I heard, my pre-order will be arriving in less than 2 weeks. The store I ordered it from has taken it off the list for pre-orders so I don't know if there will be any extras for me to get a second one.

    I had a chance to see the video before it was taken down. I honestly had no problems with the review. I am just thankful to have seen it. Looking forward to having MP-13 arrive at my door within a couple of weeks.

    MP-13 needs to hurry up. Didn't get to see the video, but took a peek at the photos that were linked. The back may look busy, but the original SW's back wasn't perfect either. Not looking forward to the wait for the extra cassettes either. Might have to hit up ebay to get a few of the originals that aren't currently getting the MP treatment. I have a pol waiting to ship as soon as it hits. Come on TakTomy make with the goods!

    I saw it and drooled and can't wait to get mine. The only thing the video was kind of bad at was the constant white balance change. But is that a reason to jumped down the guys throat? No way! Some people will complain about anything. Be happy you got to see a review before the figure is even out. Sheesh.
