    So let me gets this straight.
    MP44: Bad backpack, incredibly overpriced
    MP45: Terrible backpack and feet making it practically as nice as a cardboard cutout
    MP46: Terrible alt mode (although with a bit of an excuse in all fairness)
    MP47: Cracks without even being touched
    MP48: Terrible alt mode

    Seems like the prices of Masterpieces have increased, just a shame the quality has done the opposite.

    MP44: Because Jobby etc sez so?
    MP45: Because Jobby etc sez so?
    MP46: Solomonic choice, which do you sacrifice and focus on (engineering/anime accuracy)
    MP47: Praying this doesn't happen yet on my figure
    MP48: He's an anime accurate beastformers. Compared to the original, the alt mold looks boss. No issue yet on QC though.

    No, being saying this stuff way before his videos came out. Believe it or not people are capable of making their own opinions.

    You got an MP44 and MP45 too? Speaking of MP45, the "cardboard reference" was Jobby's strike on Bumble. Just asking. If yes, were you satisfied with them? Did your unit suffer product failure? Did you return it for a refund? If not, were you harmed by Takara's astronomical pricing policies?

    No, I didn't buy them. I don't need to buy these figures to see how abysmal the kibble is.
    Also I don't get the "Harmed by Takara's astronomical pricing policies" question. Am I not allowed to say these figures are overpriced, which they are?

    The funny thing, the feet of MP45 are the same lenght of the previous Bee ones, but smaller. In a fantasy world toys with Wind Waker characters foot size will have a lot of stability, but physics is a bitch.

    Can’t wait!
    In ongoing exciting news, my Hound is still in one piece, and I still love this figure so much. It is truly an excellently designed Transformer. I really should check my reboxed Amazon.co.jp figure again, first and last time I checked it it was still good all over, but who knows what has happened to it in the meantime...

    This figure is probably the last strike most fans will tolerate. Takara already got kicked to the curb after this incident. Like I said, no more preorders til they sort their crap and prices out. Way too unreasonable and it makes them look incompetent

    So not liking these new Masterpieces figures makes me a troll, whatever you say mate.
    Also when did I ever say my opinion is fact?

    You can dislike them all you want, hell theres a couple i hate but constantly saying so and, this is the part i find puzzling, posting on a board of said MP you claim to dislike raises red flags of trolldom. You can't possibly be this bored.

    It's a discussion board. I simply want to voice my opinion, don't see any problems with that.

    It's on topic, so he can do so. It doesn't come off as disruptive at the moment. If it is an issue, I will see to it that it is taken care of. Carry on.

    For some it won’t be the last strike they will Puru-with. It is the 3rd one. I know the days I look forward to official releases are long gone. Ridiculous how people have to assemble shock oil to try and eat with this stuff.

    As much as I would like to support them only, I can't be blind to these issues. If my next Hound breaks, return one last time and try again. If it snaps, I just keep my one good one and have him as the only one to transform. Hey, better than nothing

    The sad thing is Hound is the only recent MP that I actually wanted. I don't need another Bee or OP, but Hound is finally a new character. He would have been my 1st MP purchase since Sunstreaker. Now, I'm going to wait and see if they reissue him with a fix in a few years or a KO company fixes it. It would be my 1st 3P purchase.
