Tagging onto @lilcarus hangry point, try searching specific threads for the text "\[ATTACH\]" (without quotes or slashes), which is the text tag the forum uses for image placement. This will return all postings in that thread where we've attached photos.

If you're just trying to figure heights out, try searching a thread for "cm". 3Ps regard sizes in metric and that took hold in this community, so sizes are usually quoted as something like 10.2 cm, and most legends figure threads get an exact size detailed at some point.

 

Ahhh, well, thanks I'll keep it in mind

 

BBTS recently put up preorders for Inferno and Grapple. They seemed to skip them last time around, presumably because they had preorders for the Magic Square versions, which they probably never got in anyway. The thing is that BBTS never actually got MFT's Sideswipe or Red Alert in stock. My order from January 2019 has been coming "this month" for almost two years now. So I mean should I just expect these will never happen either. They _did_ manage to deliver Hound but their track record with MFT is terrible. I should probably also order Blitzwing from ShowZ before it's too late?

 

Curious about the quality for MFT Crane and Fire Engine and search brought me to this thread. Has anyone bought them? How are they? Quality/QC good?

 

I've heard some anecdotes of breakages with their green Hauler. Not sure if it's widespread.

If I didn't have the magic Square, I'd buy them.

 

I will get 15 more days from here, so I'll send some comparison photos there and tell you my experience so you don't make a mistake, is it okay?

 

The plastic used on these guys is not the strongest, and can break if enough force is applied. The hip poles can be prone to breaking because of a tight tab slot inside of the truck cab, that is used for securing it in place for alt mode.

 

Thank you, but I have to decide much sooner. I am looking for a gift for a friend and I will need to decide this week.

 

Uyy, but from what I saw they are very good, the plastic of the MFTs are good as far as I collect, they resist well falls and certain blows and their paint is still good, so for my part I recommend them.

 

Have both grapple and inferno since the day they were released and never had one problem.. they stood the test of time for me, joints are tight, plastic is not the tops but is fine and for the price would recommend. Ordered a loose Hauler off Hzj and it arrived broken though, so not sure about that one...

 

Did HZJ offer you a refund or a discount on the green MFT Hauler?

 

This is my post from the 3p master thread from a few months back:

"I've spent over $2000 with Hjz on ebay from 2019-2020 then last shipment in january he sent me my order of MS BB, mft tracks, ms Artfire and mft Hauler. The hauler arrived with a cracked arm at the peg. So I messaged them with pics before I touched it. When I moved it, it came off obviously, then the wheel next to it just broke off at the metal!!? His response was he could supply a replacement peg for $5 so I told him the peg was stuck inside that I'd need the section that holds the peg replaced. He said he couldn't and just stuck me with the broken figure. Ridiculous...

I offered to split the cost for a new hauler, or even make a $100 order on the spot if he'd help me out. And they refused. So basically I'm done with Hjz, no customer loyalty, didn't care if it was broken by him or during shipping. After spending $2k he sticks me over $20? they lost my business.. so hence why I end up looking elsewhere for my 3p legends now"

 

That sucks, I haven't bought from him in awhile.

 

Today I just got these, I know they are old toys but I really like the scale they achieve with the ones I get and I think it is how it should be in reality, some samples with Starscream, Blaster, and TW Wheeljack.
