Mine is still fine. I purchased it from TCP when they got their initial allotment. I check it every week expecting to find some cracks but so far it still good.

 

See I'd buy this version if there were any actual good discounts anywhere, because cracks are glue-able. When the reissue comes out I can use his parts for future customs, np. But unfortunately somehow he's still retaining his price at retailers.

 

Same. No cracks so far. Knock on wood.

 

Ditto here. Mines holding out still.

My replacement developed a crack on his head-pin   but he’s fine otherwise.

 

Reduced to 9,900 jpy on AmiAmi:

Mines holding up fine despite the multiple hairline hinge cracks. I’ve had him standing in a static pose for several months now.

 

@chchchch , dig your new avatar. Ironhide?

 

Yep...

 

Indeed, great guess! Put up some new digibashes here: The G1-Focused Masterpiece Speculation Thread

You gonna go for it?

 

I would but unfortunately AmiAmi declares full value so on top of shipping I’d have to pay import tax. Would love to find a price like that in Europe though.

 

Ah, boo  

 

*snap* Rats, i'm hoping you get that good a deal soon, Sam!

Very questionable for me though, would it still be worth the risk? I'm thinking it probably isn't, personally.

 

Aw man, somehow, you've made the G1 toy head look good! Haha.

 

For most sensible folks I'd say it's definitely worth waiting on a reissue. But I'm the dummy who bought an Artfire just to give the chrome parts to Grapple, so I don't have a lot of sense  

 

Ha, I guess cause Grapple didn't come with the chrome parts?

I'd probably end up getting both regardless of anything, but Grapple of course gets dibs, haha.

 

Haha thank you my good sir! (I admit my first cut of the design had facial hair   )

 

If it was a mustache I must see it. Amazing job on the final version too, by the way.

 

Just did a once over on mine. Still seems to be good with no cracks thus far. However, I only transformed it once in January and will likely never transform it again, unfortunately.
