    The sliding joint inside the waist is too tight so he disassembled the upper body to access it.

    Masterpieces these days, you have to have pillows on your hands to transform them.

    If you paid with a credit card your company charges extra percentages when converting currencies

    Some cards are better than others though. I think 2.5% is pretty standard as far as better rates go.

    You know, even despite the absurd price on this, I almost bit. Almost. And now we're seeing what appear to be structural weak points due to poor design. Again. TakaraTomy is like a broken record with quality control issues lately. This is just sad. You'd think, especially for that price, they could sort their shit out for once.

    I really do hope this isn't widespread, but I'm utterly unimpressed. They really need to sort their shit out.

    €262 from amiami For me, and then it’s looking forward to the inevitable high custom charges that I’ll get hit with when he gets to my door. Man I’m really glad this guy is out of the way (sort of). Now bring on BA, well bring on pictures of her in color and in her beast mode :D

    I mean, we should really work out how widespread it is before condemnation, shouldn't we? You will never have 100% success rate with any production process. If they hit at least 95%, that's generally considered good.

    Oh please! I want to see how the beast mode turns out so badly!

    Man, probably should've gone with Amazon Japan... Oh well...

    At least I don't have to worry about any customs charges with HLJ. Or I didn't with Dinobot anyway.
