    Yes. Any major carrier will do. Tracking and insurance is to cover your own ass just in case it gets lost in transit. Don’t say it won’t happen, it happened to me. A scanned or crisp photo of the shipping receipt can be sent to customer service, include the original order number, and a brief and clear description. In my case, they said a total refund of the shipping cost will be issued after they receive the package. When they do have it, an automatic 2000Yen refund is released to cover the shipping. At this point, you can send them the email and they should give you the remaining shipping amount via the same way you paid for Hound. Unusually credit card.

    The Beast Wars stands have the same connection as the Tracks stand, indeed Blackarachina's stand is simply one of the base sections of Dinobot's stand with the arm from the Tracks stand attached, no changes whatsoever. They don't even match in colour and finish sadly.

    Lol. Calm down and think out off the box. The pricing situation is indirectly dictated by TT; the deplorable quality of many sold copies of MP Hound dictated that Amazon have had to (sensibly) slash the price.

    "indirectly dictated" means no dictated AT ALL. You're just playing with words buddy.
    But feel free to keep blaming takara. And don't forget the vitriol.

    Mine was delivered to HLJ yesterday, so hopefully the refund won’t be too far off.

    It’s nice to be able to see people appreciating Hound. I like the figure enough that I will probably double dip on a reliable reissue.

    Fantastic shots, man! I haven't yet put these two together, they definitely do compliment each other well!

    Thanks, brother! Am I misremembering or don't you have three copies? I'd love to see shots of Hound making holographic copies of himself! Wasn't that in Roll for It...?

    QC problems aside, it's amazing how Hound continues to improve upon the already next level Sunstreaker. Hound feels firmer, looks cleaner and more complete (neck, hip panels) and has even more articulation (ankle swivels, forearm swivels, index finger and deeper knee, ankle, and ab joint ranges). Mine's still crack free, but I want to transform a few more times over the next week to be sure!

    Hey, at least KY is a lubricant... Maybe OG WD40 does enough to serve the purpose, but it's not its intended use. Though they do also make a separate, proper lubricant product...

    Not guaranteed...but I'da been hesitant. Is it Amazon proper or a reseller? If the latter, how is their feedback? You wouldn't think any legit outfit would knowingly sell a broken product, and if they did, would correct the mistake.

    You're welcome! You remember almost correctly, I have four copies at the moment - at least two will be returned. Before I pack them up though, I'm definitely planning on doing some hologram doppelganger shots! :D 

    I agree about all those things you mention regarding Hound's improvements over Sunstreaker. If it weren't for the plastic issues, I think Hound would have been received as the best MP carbot yet!

    Bring those shots on!!!

    I wish that hologram effect could've fit on his shoulder cannon, too. I'm remembering right that that thing made holograms, too, right?

    If you guys are getting delays shipping from oversea such country as china or Japan, it's because it's the Asian Lunar new year for them, on the 25th. Just like Christmas and New years for us, there will be delays. Everything shuts down during the holidays.

    His light weight helps him hold dynamic poses well without using a stand but I definitely don't want to see the same material pop up again in another MP.

    I don't know about that, both 45 and 46 use lighter plastics and don't have breakage issues. That would just reinforce they've switched to a new plastic and for some reason had trouble with Hounds, either the plastic itself or an unseen reaction with the paints used.

    That's true for China but Japan doesn't celebrate Chinese New Year.
