    He's probably the best carbot IMO outside of MP10. You just can't help but thinking of the cartoon with him in hand. Price was the last thing on my mind when handling this one. Unlike some of the other carbots.

    HLJ has it here probably comes out to 60 the most with shipping, although I don't know where you're at. Even $62 is a steal actually for this mold.

    The 3 Hasui full size carbots are worth every penny of $60 IMHO.

    I get people thinking the value wasn't there with Bee, but I love him as well.

    I could not agree more with this statement.

    Although I would extend that to include every MP from MP-10 through MP-21. They all felt like true masterpieces to me. The releases since then, while still cool, just don't have the same magic.

    I'm sorry but blue or grey, those missile pods look stupid.

    make them the proper launchers, and color they should be. :p

    I got MP Wheeljack for $60 at BotCon last year. He was my first Takara MP, a game changer, and I still love him very much. If I didn't already have him, I wouldn't hesitate to drop $60 on him again.

    Instead of bumping three threads why don't you just send him a PM? ;) 

    Anyone who had the two version of Wheeljack notice any differences between this reissue and the original?

    What hands did you use? Do they hinder transformation at all? Also can his gun still peg and hold securely with them?

    I used KFC KP-10 hands for Sideswipe. I believe you may need some very minor trimming on the mushroom pegs to make them fit -- they're pretty close.

    I used a dremel to carefully cut out the taillight pieces of the stock hands. Afterwards you can use the glue of your choice to fit them onto the new hands. I would highly recommend that you fit them while in vehicle mode to ensure that they fit straight. (yes, they fit in transformation)

    The gun will also need a tiny bit of trimming also to make it fit.

    Hope that helps!!
