    Is there any mold differences/changes on the 1:1 version of MPM 04 by LT? There’s a stomach kit I want to get for LT02W but I’m scared it’s not going to work. It says mpm04 but it also says black apple.

    Got mail from Sir Toys and BBTS both today. What a good day to be a collector!

    I've got some elaborate custom plans for the bots from Sir Toys. Really excited!

    You probably have a bit of flashing in the joint slots for the hands with a swivel trouble, but for the transformation, it needs a specific shape of fist, compare it to the original set in alt mode form

    Is that the Model Wizard? Ive flirted with buying it, even though I dislike the character.

    Ah, sorry about your broken bots, but glad you got your refund. (This extended shipping time stuff is making me nervous, as I'm sure packages waiting for weeks in containers as more and more gets piled on top isn't helping matters at all and is attributing to more broken/crushed goods)

    Just got this guy in from Show.Z (Aoyi Mech H6002-10B Oversized Siege Megatron). I don't know what Ben's Kollectibles reviewed, but I think this figure is pretty awesome for it's price. It does have it's flaws, but it also has a lot of great fixes to the original Siege figure. It has the arm covers, the wrists now sit flush, ankle tilts (so you can tuck the feet in for alt mode), and hidden pins in the upper and lower thighs. I would say the down sides to this figure is the paint work on the head, and the ankles are super loose (but I'm sure that can be fixed with clear nail polish). It stands well with the Aoyi Mech Optimus and I would say Optimus is still the better figure. On the other hand, Optimus has the weaker head sculpt. Big shout out to Show.Z, it only took a little over 3 weeks to arrive (that is great for me)!

    I'm generally not a fan of Bayformers, but WJ AOE and TLK Hound looks cool for me.

    Ok. Trying again. I want to know if these will fit on LT02W. The seller says yes but that isn’t MPM04/LT02.

    Wow, that was an unexpected choice for a simplified KO figure. Yeah, that's Iron Factory's Tarn.

    I mean, bearing in mind that's just to get the "en route to Canada" notice in the tracking... who knows how much longer it's going to take on that journey? And even once it arrives, shipping has been delayed within Canada for a while now. I shipped someting from Montreal to Etobicoke... which would normally take a week at most... and it took 3 weeks. :/

    As you pointed out, the figure in the photos is not MPM-4 / LT-02. That is BA which is much larger. Based on that, these parts will NOT fit. Scale aside, the wing mirrors and engine firewall (abs) on MPM-4 / LT-02 are not removable and would have to be cut out. The photos clearly show that on the BA the mirrors and fire wall are separate have just been replaced.

    I do see very subtle build lines on the sternum piece so maybe these are 3D printed. In that case, maybe the seller can offer at the correct scale. Applying them would still require permanent alteration to the original figure.

    Would be nice to know what you can find out. I wouldn't mind a set too :)

    Thanks. I knew it was off. I asked the seller twice, two different ways, and both time they said it fit. But I could clearly tell that was a different figure.
