    Recently decided to pick one of these up, but I can't get the 'no box' comment out of my head. How is this thing packaged to begin with? I'm getting worried about damage in transit, lol

    Probably it means "No original box", not no box at all :p 

    Cant answer for TF-safari, but a couple items I bought from ali without boxes, were into a generic use carbot-transit box inside plastic baggies and the rest of the box was filled with those air filled plastic cushions so they dont bong bong around. They totally completely safe.

    Just got my Safari Mp10 in. He arrived all in one piece thankfully, and he's definitely a tightly built figure. None of the usual KO flaws. He's not perfect tho - I have a feeling I'll be looking around for a few MP10 fixes.

    . Cab mirrors, especially the one on the right, don't seem to fold in properly. There must be some excess plastic in either the window or the mirror. EDIT - On further inspection right side mirror is actually a little bent towards the bottom. Might need to get creative.
    . Silver paint on the waist has some small degree of chipping, but not too noticeable. Silver paint on left forearm has some scratching.
    . Some kind of dark lint? Trapped in my energon axe like a bug in Amber?
    . Having some trouble getting the matrix in and closing the chest. Don't wanna force it. Edit - just needed to press the Matrix in until it clicked. First time with actual MP10, lol

    Is it possible that the figure itself is a factory second but all the accessories are KO? Either way I'm not complaining, he's a great figure for a fraction of the price and leagues above the usual KO. Might invest in either the Shadow Fisher or BB7 upgrade kits.
