you can only cancel and get credit for your pre-order deposit before showz requests full payment for your order. otherwise once showz sends the full payment request, you either make your full payment to get your order which you have 2 weeks to do, or loose your deposit.
Depends. Do we know of any other releases from this company? And.. Were those other releases announced later, but released first?
Definitely getting straight to the point Imagine if they were busy doing that to all of the ones they're shipping.......
There is an alert on their sight too that says they have the figures but the manufacturer forgot the autobot symbols so they are waiting on those. edit. Sorry if someone already mentioned that.
I hope they won't send it like that. I just asked them in their thread. This is the worst method of solving the issue. All you do is remove a feature that makes the knee articulation aesthetically pleasing and that is a great design except it was executed poorly by TT in the first place. Everything you should do to make this work perfectly is covered in the MP-44 fix thread, both preventive care and actual fix.
I have 2 days left to pay this off... I'm honestly wondering if it's worth it or if I'm going to get it to play around with it and sell either it or my TE01... The knee problem popping up again is making me second guess it.
Honestly.. my MP-44 is the official one. Has no knee issues at all. I have messed with him a lot posing him. But what scares me on mine is the paint, so I have only transformed him maybe four times. But yeah, that is pretty much how my knees work on mine. I am still waiting on the KO like everyone else, and I will gladly post when it gets here to let you know one, how the knees work, and two some pictures. Good or bad. I am hoping for good. Best Regards,
And an FYI to everyone out there. If it does have the knee issue. There is a superglue I use when I make custom figures or need to glue any kind of plastic that more or less bonds pieces together like they were casted. I have used it even to fix my Hot Toys Superman I made, when his arm broke. Whats like new functions properly. It is called Plastic Surgery. So IF you get the knee issue... buy it, use it to glue the two pieces together, and it will be like they were casted as one piece, as they should of done. I was going to do this on my Prime but never had the issues. Best Regards,
I'm dead. That's some ghetto shit but I appreciate the directness. I'm honestly not worried about the knees because Gorrilla glue is a thing and it's kept my MP 44 Minty there. What I'm worried about are the friggin hips. My MP 44 left hip forward/backward ratchet gave, I promptly transformed it into truck mode and I haven't touched it since because I was so salty about it. One day I'll figure out if it's fixable but now I don't have the patience. Hoping the hip tolerances are better. Yeah, I friggin guess. Maybe l will get another ER prime or a mech sai commander to tide me over. Patience is not a strong suit for me.
My guess is on this figure, even if you glue the two pieces together, you’ll still need to file the tab down so the whole piece can fit into the hole as explained in God Orion’s post. You may be able to see in my close up pics that the end has been tapered so the tip can go in, but not the entire piece...
That’s exactly where I am with my official MP-44. It’s been to truck mode and back three, maybe four times. And every time I find at least one new paint chip. No knee issues at all. That’s what I want the KO for. To be able to enjoy the mold without fear of ruining the paint.
that's not a fix, that's just breaking it ahead of time and getting it over before it actually happens.
