    The rear spoiler was a bit tight but I think it'll get better over time

    Yeah, I'd only recommend this if you're experienced with MPMs and their quirks, someone new to all this'd break theirs on the way outta the box

    This is pretty cheap and I'm thinking of getting one, but I hear so many bad accounts. But you got yours replaced? Maybe I should go for it...

    good to hear, i have several MPM KOs but not familiar with jazz' engineering, but we can always watch emgo for guides right?

    i for sure will get it when the price is good enough here, we should just know what to expect and be a bit more careful i think

    Transformation is pretty easy to figure out on its own. Got mine from showz today, great little figure, mine came perfect apart from missing the left mirror but that's easily replaceable.

    Would recommend if you want a cheap MPM Jazz.

    Got mine today, bought it in the JLKIDS store in AliExpress, didn't found any major issue with the paint and has no loose articulations, the only issue were the mirrors as both were broken but that was easily solved with some glue, it is very nice overall, the only thing I think they could have done to make it better is to add ratchets in the shoulders to remove those mushroom pegs, something like in the WJ M03 Bumblebee, but probably would have affected the transformation.

    Got him yesterday! Didn't have a chance to handle him until today when I got to work. This guy is awesome! No QT issues with mine aside from a very slightly scuffed bicep piece, but even that looks pretty natural.

    The transformation on this guy is incredible. It's complex and requires knowing which way to turn and flip things, while also bring pretty intuitive whether transforming to bit mode or alt mode (though going to not mode is way more fun).

    I pre-ordered mine right when he came out and got him for $35 USD which is an absolute steal for a figure like this.

    Mine is still good. Havent transformed him.

    The only thing that still scares me is when, I secured the trunk on his back. That was terrifying.

    Got mine the other day from @ShowZStore. The right bumper/headlight piece was missing. The chest was also separated a bit, but that looks like it just needs to be tightened up, but it would explain how that piece could have fallen out when it was being packed at the factory. I'm told it will be a few weeks before they can get a replacement part and then can send it to me, but he should be made whole eventually.

    Sorry to hear about that man. During a transformation, my right head light piece also fell out. It went back together without any issues and doesn't cause any problems with transformation, but it seems that side of the chest could use a little tightening to avoid that.

    Got mine from TFSafari today. No issues, other than some slight looseness on one of the right knee friction joints. Transforms and locks together pretty seamlessly, no nasty paint scrapes anywhere on the car body - one small scuff on one thigh but robot mode "damage" I can let go. One of the wing mirrors is a little wobbly like there's not quite enough glue on it, but if it falls off I'll glue it back on. I have to say that I'm pretty impressed with how dense and solid the whole thing feels, especially in alt mode.

    While Newage Soundwave is more of a steel-silver, BM/Aoyi's Jazz is more of a platinum sheen. It's a very pale silver color. They both look good together, though.
