    Maybe you’ll come up on a used copy or cheaper one down the road. Don’t give up hope

    Yeah, I was on the fence at 1st, but ecstatic I pulled the trigger. Brawl was damn near impossible to find, though. That works though, IMHO he's the best in the group.

    With Starscream as the intermediary, the team looks especially great together because Incursus/Onslaught doesn't look as so extraordinarily large.

    Think I'm probably the only person who would be happy if after Raiden instead of Devastator they went Bruticus.

    I'm still on the Devy train, but Bruticus would definitely be cool as well.

    Followed promptly by Devastator, of course. Those might be my biggest wants from Takara.

    Makes me wonder if I can get the coronation set after ordering the other 2 on Show Z. Otherwise, a KO coronation set to get with my official figures works for me.

    If I had to choose one combiner to own and could own no other then Devastator would be the only choice I would make. A million times in a row. But I am comfortable knowing that Devy is eventually coming.... so bring on Raiden, and Bruticus, and Abominus for all I care. I'm 100% down with any of them!

    Jesus TT JUST SHOW US RAIDEN ALREADY FOR FUCK'S SAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I only recently received my MP-52 from BBTS. After thorough inspection, the few minor QC issues are pretty much paint application and part tolerance (small crack around the rear tailfin and left forearm that doesn't fully tab in). Fortunately, it doesn't appear to have the assembly related problems like poorly fired pins that caused cracking, or wrong accessories like duplicate faces, two of the same null ray, etc.

    Anyway, my copy came in the black Hasbro-issued outer box. I'm wondering if I benefited from getting an item that came off the assembly line near the end of the run, after workers had a chance to familiarize themselves with the assembly process. Of course, this theory would only work if the factory used some kind of first-in first-out process on the assembly line.

    Who else ordered through Pulse or another retailer that sent you a Hasbro-boxed Starcream--have you had any of the QC issues that appeared to plaque the figure during the first month it was out?

    I think that is a good theory and I feel that way about the MPMs as well. Except with the MPMs the Takara run seems to happen after the Hasbro run so I've found that the Takara Japanese domestic version of the MPMs typically have slightly better QC. So you may be correct and the Hasbro boxed versions are made last and have slightly better QC. I'm just hoping those lessons learned on Starscream were applied to Thundercracker! We will find out pretty soon!
