    I am wondering if the Japanese release has some better quality control. Anyone know?

    Honestly? They're about the same.

    I just got this it today from my LCS for $25. Meant to grab him on FCBD, but I was outside the store selling stuff and forgot by the end of the night. While he’s pretty rad, and hefty, I only got one flame effect. So that’s a bit of a bummer. I dig him, but can’t quite get the chest to plug into the alt mode. Otherwise a pretty enjoyable figure, that I mostly just wanted because of the sword.

    I'm curious if the Movie The Best TLK Megatron is worth it for HLJ's sale price of $38.25. I'm sure it would look great on display next to my TLK Nemesis Prime from the same line, but is it a fun figure to mess with as well? It's definitely got size, and the face changing gimmick is pretty cool, but what's the playability or hand feel of it like?

    It's a bit lighter than it looks, but still a pretty fun figure. I still prefer the Voyager one, though.

    It's on sale for $25 at amazon! Screw HLJ! This figure is 1000% worth it for half price, even without the premium paint job.

    It's a fun toy to mess with. Underrated IMO. It cleans up well in alt mode, has a huge alt mode. Has most of the articulation you'd want and the mask gimmick is cool. The palette for either release is well done, this was one of the only domestic TLK figures I thought had a good palette(doesn't look cheap compared to most TLK figures).

    Due to the transformation joints, you can have the wrist aim the sword forward, so that's a win for me.

    The head sculpt is appropriately menacing. It's not the most accurate figure out there and it's a great complement to the TLK Nemesis Prime you have.

    Hey anyone here know how to fix the spring gimmick? The front part of the jet won't stay up anymore for cannon mode.

    Are the any parts connected to the coils loose and does it feel like 1 or both of the coils may have been cut or broken off over time? I just checked my copy and it doesn’t have this issue. If you hear rattling within that arm it could be a broken piece meant for keeping the spring in place.

    I hear no rattling, one became loose when I unscrewed the arm to see if I could fix it.

    The voyager figure is so much better than this.

    The good news is that it seems like Legacy TM2 Megs is coming with at least one of this guy's blast effects.

    It's a new effect piece, it just looks similar.
