    Do you even Ebay? :D 

    He is one of the more popular choices for purchasing MFT figures.

    Well, I'm pretty new to the 3P/KO market thing.
    Do you think that asking him if he could ask MFT for this part would be too much? I kind of don't want to make "my" seller lose those 30 bucks because the factory effed up.

    It wouldn't hurt to ask. Two times I've asked Chinese eBay sellers (hzj401, netclow) to see if they could get a replacement part (not the entire set, just a part that was missing or defective), they came through for me and sent them along with my next purchase. Just be really nice, ask them if they can get the part from the factory and see if they can help.

    Thanks a bunch, I'll do that if my seller refuses to cooperate.

    If they don't you should start a claim with eBay since you did not receive what you paid for.

    Yeah, but going for a refund and buying another one seems a tad... excessive. I'll do that if there's nothing else.

    If they're threatened with having to give a refund they're more likely to cough up the part, too. Should be the last resort, though; in some cases it's what you have to do to get a high volume seller's attention, even if they are operating in good faith.

    One more question, since I'm kinda new at this. When I make a claim, do I have to send the one I got back? If so, who pays for shipping?

    Varies shop to shop. Some do require you to mail it back but others will send you replacements for free or packed with your next purchase. You should ask HZJ but I'm sure someone else here knows.

    That is just business as usual for a online seller. Either deliver the product complete or expect issues. This will not make or break this guys week. Trust me
    Not really, I and a lot if us have gone through the pain of getting a bot or bots refunded and buying them elsewhere. It is par for the course sometimes.
    Most of the times Ebay or PayPal will guarantee happiness or whatever it is called. That means they eat the return shipping if you need to ship. But most Chinese sellers don't even give a shit about the return and just send you a new bot or in this case a part.

    ...and often sending the needed part or a replacement is more cost effective for a seller than giving a refund anyway, though again YMMV.

    Don't make a claim, take a picture of the missing part and iht up your seller. I had the same issue with the MFT black reflector I got (it was missing the handle for teh shield), I hit up my seller and they hit up the factory and sent me out the piece. No drama whatsoever. If your seller is halfway decent they'll be able to do the same and you'll avoid having to make a claim to bully a shop who isn't at fault (it's MFT's fault).

    Also the Papa Toy's version is head and shoulders better (I have both sets), if you can get a set I'd check them out.

    It's not that ring attached to the base of the alternative flash is it ?
    Just wondering as a lot of people didn't spot that it was attached there.

    Hmm that he has a decent amount of accessories suggests to me that he doesn't come with a mech.

    I wonder if they'd do the Hauler version in Green and include a Mech with that like happened with G2 Sideswipe. Or if they do Artfire if they'd hold off on that until they've done Jazz so they can release Art Fire and Stepper at the same time.

    If they are crafty they could reissue Scourge & Cyclonus as a Targetmaster and then they'd sell more original Scourges as people would want them as Sweeps and the (one assumes slightly different looking) Targetmaster one as actual Scourge. I could see them doing that - as Shockwave is getting a different deco and Megatron got one too.

    I do wonder if they'd bother doing Thunderwing sometime - or if that would be to many new pieces to want to do it ?

    As for Grapple at least he will be made out of a proper glossy plastic and not that weird grainy matt finish Nylon MS make things from.

    Can't wait to see which way they jump when they get around to the Datsun Bros or Jazz. I'm crossing my fingers for a Detritus with his own little Junkion assistant mech with it too. I'd not say no to some more Jet repaints too. Perhaps G2 or Universe Ramjet, or Ghost Starscream either.
