    Just a few things I am noticing here:

    1. The red crotch piece actually has the hole that was supposedly corrected by the KO.
    2. Also the recent Transformers: Age of Extinction Platinum Edition Optimus Prime comes with a chromed version of the MP-10 trailer.
    3. The bot mode grill is the correct version (isn't missing the bottom ribs)
    4. The hands have fingers instead of mitts (hard to see I know but if you go to the site and click on the pic's it is easier to see).

    I guess I'll be keeping an eye on this one. It seems to me there might be an ever so slight chance that this may actually be a legit TT release. Thoughts?

    WTF it looks like one of my mother-in-law's tacky Christmas ornaments.

    That is a custom. It is not the ko mold. It has the transparent crotch and wrist parts of YOTH Prime. The trailer also uses the YOTH Prime sigil.

    Collection Kingdom could come out with a MP-10 sporting the Hasbro Sunstorm colour scheme and people will still buy it.......ok, I'd buy it. But seriously, the amount of potential repaints for this figure is endless.

    I too ordered from TF-Direct and I'm STILL stuck on the "Processed Through Sort Facility in GUANGZHOU" status since the 17th. I'm really wishing I had just ordered from Aces at this point.

    Bit the bullet and ordered from Aces. Let's hope I get a good one. The metallic paint sealed the deal

    Got mine today and am not happy with the issues it came with:

    1. Matrix of leadership was completely missing from the box.
    2. Neck piece broke in half when I rotated the head a few times.
    3. Plate the head sits on top of will not flip down into body due to clearance issues (feels as if the plate is installed backwards)
    4. Excess molding inside of right thigh hindering proper transformation or proper posing/standing.
    5. Bottom of legs will not push in at all with any amount of force and yes I am pushing the tabs in the back while pushing.



    Contacted TF Direct CS about this, hopefully they will set things straight otherwise I will be filling a paypal dispute.

    I can't see the pictures. Just little boxes (empty box outlines)

    Welcome to the site!

    Also, I am sorry this happened to you .. Hopefully you'll be taken care of.
