    So, I had pre-ordered mp-45 beast megs and got him and was so happy....I should have tried transforming him when all the reviews were coming out because I got the surprise of there being NO HEAD what so ever and the joint it's attached to already folded up........I love beast wars, megatron was my favorite character, I finally had the spare money after saving money given by relatives because I am partially paralyzed and thus I'm still trying to find a job that will fit me....I just.........I just don't know what to do........I'm really depressed and I have sent an e-mail to amazon japan but..........All I wanted was to finally learn how to transform a MP figure and have a beautiful representation of Beast Wars Megs that I never had because I couldn't get him when the beast line was out.....I highly doubt I could find someone with a head to give me.......

    Amazon should be pretty responsive to your complaint, I would hope. Just stay after them until you're satisfied.

    Good luck and hang in there.

    It's been a couple months but I think this might be a helpful guide: MP-43 Beast Wars Megatron It's exceptionally tight the first time you transform him though, so you might need help.

    Hope you're able to get a replacement. Amazon JP is apparently really good with returns and replacements, even for issues much more minor than this.

    Got reply not too long after I e-mailed them, they don't have any in stock so they're giving me a full refund as a return so I have to send mine in. Once I get the refund I'll order one from Ami Ami as they're only a lil more than Amazon jp, and I got my MP Primal reissue from them that I think I'll try to transform finally

    I can!

    Amazon Japan is supposed to pay you back for the shipping charge if you’re doing a return.

    Ship it back for a full refund or keep it and they give 10% back. (I guess a head is only worth 10% of the fig price)

    If you do ship it back you only get 12,000 yen back on your card and the rest on a gift card to reimburse shipping.

    Maybe try contacting TT and seeing if they can ship a head out to you. I'm sure if you explain the situation they might help.

    Doubt TT helps because your not in Japan and they would only ship to a Japanese address. A lot cheaper than sending it back is asking the domestic retailers of they have any for salvage and offer to by a head from them.

    I'm trying to find the customer service e-mail for Tomy Japan, but in the meantime I've also contacted TFsource to see if they can get me in touch with TT or if they or any other sites they might know of habe any salvage for me to take a head from.

    20$ isn't a bad price for a little head these days.
