    I really tried to stick with MS Bee and Cliffjumper. But that teaser group photo of NA Jester Optimus with NA Cliff and Bee shot me right to the heart that I couldn't skip them

    i don't love either, i have no brand loyalty. i devote my love to individual releases on their own merit and pick up whatever i like and sell on if i end up with something i don't like. :p

    I like both, but for aesthetics I prefer MST.

    Me... hence why I mix and match my figures as this matches to my idea of scaling. :) 

    Bottom line.. they're both producing figures that I saw in my 8 year old mind when I got my first ever Transformer. They're the toys we all wanted as children! ;)

    I've been collecting Iron factory, Newage, Magic square, and legends + stuff, but I've been trying to get out of the Mechfans toys collecting. I enjoy all of them, but I think if I had to pick a favorite, it would be Newage. Newage won me over with their seekers, and I love their toy deco figures. I haven't picked up MS Shockwave yet, but I'm planning on it being my next purchase.

    Agree 1000%. Bottom line, the figures we all dreamed of as children. Perfect

    Cheers mate.
    Should've also added that they're cheaper and easier to display than MPs!! :)

    Well.... cheaper than the officials, the KO ones are for the most part cheaper than these mini masterpiece legends. That said these are much more fun and usable IMO, you can have them dotted around the desk and leisurely play around with one whereas some of the main MP line are a lesson in frustration to transform, I cant envision a time I will change MP-49 or MP-36 again.....

    Hi guys, I thought to ask here for some help, if possible.

    Long story short, in my preorder/accessories bag for MST Shockwave, I found 3 clear purple wrist-to-hand connectors and no wrist-to-cannon adapter (it should be 2 of the first kind and 1 for the second, originally).

    I asked Show.Z for a replacement and they super kindly sent me 2... Only, of the wrong part! XD
    So I now have FIVE clear purple wrist-to-hand connectors but I still miss the clear adapter for the clear hose.

    I'll use a photo supplied by good brother @Huub (and the one I edited for Show.Z) to better illustrate my issue:

    01.jpg 02.jpg

    By any chance, anyone here (possibly within Eurozone) got 2 cannon adapters and is willing to sell/trade one, so I can complete my copy?

    Thanks in advance!

    Omg bro :eek:  honestly I had to laugh a little, but boy, that's unfortunate.. someone's getting fired :D 
    Really hope you will finally get the part you need, or 2 or 3 ;) 

    Received a mail from ShowZ that they couldn't get the pre order weapons for MS Coneheads, after a long wait for a reply from MS.
    So if anyone around here has the pre order weapons for MS Coneheads and wants to part with them, let me know pls ;) 

    Ps. Sorry for shamelessly ninja-ing your post :oops:

    Still waiting for MS to announce a metallic version of this. They can confirm a metallic Perceptor already, why not this?

    I’m getting antsy and having a hard time not pulling the trigger.

    This figure looked good in photos, but the engineering is really bad in one part. It's the first MS figure I've wanted to return.

    The front of the gun is held in place by a really thin piece of plastic which is just waiting to break. MS has usually made good figures, but that part of the design is just pure stupidity.

    If they were going to make it that thin, at least make that part out of metal.
