    Quite so. And I am guilty as anyone. Doesn’t mean I have to like it though.

    I believe he is meant to be stood on his toes (or at least it’s an option) just like the cgi model. It gives him the additional height without awkwardly extending his legs.

    Took my receipt back to Target and asked for the 50% discount and got it! $81 back in my hand! I highly recommend giving it a try! Thanks to those who posted about it!

    My stores have the sale going but the dam thing isn’t on their shelves. Is there anyway to get their online price to match store prices? If not the best I can do is ask someone who has them on shelves to ship it to me....

    anyone willing to find one on a shelf??

    So the toe joints are tight enough to support him like that? That looks pretty good!

    Have to stop sending money on things that aren't worth it. That's why I stopped buying TFs after AoE until the MPMs...

    Yeah, the front toes are solid die cast so they hold the weight even when leaning forward. The back toes are sturdy too. They're in the same position as when in jet mode.

    Got the last one at my local Target yesterday for $75. I would’ve never got this figure if it never went on clearance. It’s kinda crazy, I would’ve never thought I’d be buying a Masterpiece TF from my local Target here in New Mexico.

    I remember back in like 2011 and 2012, being scared that I’d never find the TRU exclusive MPs because the nearest TRU was 3 hours away. Now I’m passing up an MPM in my local Target, hoping for it to go on sale.

    So cool to finally have this for around the price of an old Carbot MP!

    Happy to say, I got one! Going to hopefully post pictures soon, but this is a dam impressive figure. Jet mode work for me, looks really nice in person, but that robot mode is just amazing. (Tight joint all around as well)

    Awesome to hear! Mine says it’ll arrive on Monday but I’m hoping for Saturday since it’s only 5 hours away.

    Anyone in the Ann Arbor Michigan area want an MPM Starscream? I got mine on clearance from Target last week, but I'm planning to return him because of the floppy arm issue. But if anyone out there wants to buy him off me for the price I paid for him (basically $75), PM me.

    No wonder, it's not a great movie Starscream. Ratchet on the other hand looks good.

    TBH Ratchet's massive backpack and weird mass of stuff around his neck makes me far more willing to wait on a sale for him than screamer here. Been wanting SS since his reveal and was ready for paying full price Because he just is the best movie starscream my a long shot. But Ratchet, yeah no way I'm paying over $100 on that. The studio series figure looks about as "accurate" as him to me.
