    You can also try this.

    Once it reaches your city, you should be able to start using USPS.com to track (assuming you are in the USA).

    Sent out an email and the responded within a few hours unfortunately they can’t find the usps tracking and could take up to 30 days to track the package down.

    Hot rod showed up today out of the blue. He has the cybertronion medic card, Pouty face, blue visor, die cast matrix, , correct Autobots symbol and off purple shinny legs like the photos of target masterpiece hotrod. All and all a great figure. The backpack gives me something to hang onto

    What are the tells of an MP 40 KO? I see many cheap ones on Taobao, many of which are on reputable sellers with genuine products too. This seller carries a bunch of brand new TFs for a really low price, I can't tell if MP40 is on sale or just a KO.

    Some copies of the KOs include a matrix. Matrix is not included with the official. Also the chrome on the KO does not fade. The most telling difference is the much lower price.

    I found the MP 40 KO to be just as good as the official. He only has a darker chin. Same cannot be said for the MP 28 KO... much bigger differences there

    Ah! Thanks for the head's up. AliExpress is pretty reputable as I know, though the price is the same as those on Ebay, but now I'm thinking of getting MP-40 instead... :oops:

    I just ordered this from an eBay seller a few weeks ago and he just arrived and I'm amazed at how nice it is. Only issue my copy had was the fold away headlight on the left side of his chest wouldn't fold away...until the little locking tab broke off, lol. Thankfully its missing doesn't effect transformation at all.

    The paint definitely distracts from his oversized chest…

    Heya, Just bought a KO instore while I was interstate for the holidays, and I gotta say, The ankles and knees are a huge improvement and I kinda like the lighter color of the unpainted plastic on it, however the hood is darker than the colors of his collar and thighs, and he has noticeably worse hips and his upper arm hinges can't hold a pose. and I found it quite cumbersome to tab him into robot mode.

    Might kitbash this and my official MP Hot rod when I get back, any ideas on tightening joint tolerences?
