    Anyone consider using shock oil on Nickel's shoulders? Those things don't feel like they're gonna break but they're still scary tight.

    Is it possible there will be a second batch of these?
    They sold out real fast and a lot of stores didn't even stock them.

    I would assume so yeah just no idea when. People been nagging mmc to do more Tyrans for a while now so he's probably more likely to take priority for reproduction sooner I figure.

    That's right. And Anarchus and Cynicus got second runs after all. It just took a whole while.

    Thank you. But after shipping and customs to europe I'd be down 200.
    It just strikes me as odd that there was such a small run of these. And especially that several stores I know which would normally stock such an item didn't.

    I am not surprised, These characters are niche and they are not cheap. They probably produced just enough to fill preorders as well as some minimal amount for last minute buyers.

    Probably. Still surprising to me that some stores didn't get them.
    I know TF Robots for example is always on top things. Maybe those stores didn't think they were popular enough, as you say.


    Not at all. Thank you for the suggestion :)

    I got a new bottle of shock oil for this very reason.

    Also:..
    Foxwire (Dominus Ambus/Vos/The Pet): He is aesthetically different than most other transformers.
    Especially his box-mate. While simple, the figure s fun and very poseable. His likeness is about as accurate
    to the printed source material as it can be. He could be a bit more blue in my opinion.

    If anyone's looking for scathing critique, feel free to read my wall of text I wrote over in the Nickel thread: MMC Nickel

    Zombie thread! I just picked mine up and the chest panel that the beast head secures to in robot mode, and that his chain attaches to, kept popping off. Without thinking to ask first, I glued that mf’er right down. Now I’m wondering if there was a reason it should have stayed detachable. Can anyone tell me if I goofed?

    Did you glue the chest-plate or the chain?

    The chest-plate the chain-plate attaches to. Uhm. That’s confusing; here, this:

    Yes. Yes you goofed.

    MMC stuff has a habit of popping out the first couple of days. After receving MMC Commotus the arm pads / dozerblades kept popping of if you looked at them funny. Or at all...
    But after a few days they kind of settled I guess, and the problem was over. Vangelus has also adressed this problem in his review of the figure.

    Perhaps it has something to do with the material. It may has to adapt to the new post box climate.
