    Good news. Two quick coats of pledge floor care took car of the loose shoulder friction joints.

    It should just freely rotate. It's a mushroom peg joint just above the waist that spins. Mine needed zero force and basically just rotated on its own one panels and arms were out of the way.

    Do you speak Mandarin or Cantonese?

    I’ll do the translation corrections later. Left home

    Good stuff. Always appreciate when people can speak multiple languages. Need to polish up on my Japanese for the translations later on MP43 -____-

    Does it come with a black plastic display base with the figure like Dinobot? Mine came with a bunch of clear plastic adapters but no base to use on, which is weird.

    Nyet. Left home to eat with my wife and parents. But will attempt in an hour or so. Maybe I should take a picture to point to what you mean?

    After you extend the torso there is kind of like an L shaped assembly that will fold into the cavity in his back along with some of the back kibble. At the bottom of the assembly where the crotch/legs attach is the only rotating joint. I'll totally see what I can't do if you can post a picture when you get the chance. If you haven't extended the black piece inside his torso yet make sure to grab the torso, place your thumb on the bottom of the black piece and push down - I'm 90% sure grabbing the legs/the assembly and pulling down is how that one dude broke his in a million places because none of the other parts are meant to take that force.

    Heh...you can tell yourself that I guess but postage and customs charges are proportional, the larger/heavier the package and higher the value of the item the more you get charged...so overall you pay the same regardless of how many boxes they are sent in...indeed you might end up paying less if AEs under-declares enough to get it through customs without charge. I still have my fingers crossed.

    On top of that there is the second reason for not double dipping up front, QC issues. Every BWMP has suffered from some form of them so far and it appears the reissues feature improvements. Simply put TT cant be trusted to get it right first time.

    If I were a KO company, planning to release versions of MPBW I would keep on posting on the net the defaults of the original figures. Nice move !
    And of course, a KO of mp-41 is soon available ...
