hey guys I just learned that a new preorder/batch on Mista is arriving. My question is, is it worth it to get it for 125 usd?? I'm from SEA and I pay COD so I can't really do overseas ordering and stuff. Or should I wait until another third party would KO this like they did La Hire and Firage?

 

I don't know what SEA or COD are, but $125 is a decent price for this figure. I wouldn't pay more than that. It's high quality but it is only a carbot.

 

I'd get him if it's in your budget. There's no guarantee he'll be KO'd, and he's an excellent figure by all rights.

 

Is the discount Svek posted about a day or two still up? The one where it's at a a neat discount at $109?

 

It's not a bad figure... Just overpriced and without ratchet joints...

 

It's not a heavy figure so I don't think he'd REQUIRE them. But having them would be cool.

The shoulders require them, over time it will be a problem if you want Laserbeak to perch on his arm.

 

He looks like a good figure but still too rich for my blood sadly. I could see charging $80 for this like Hasbro does for their own carbots because it's a third party figure instead of a KO but but $100+ is still too much for my wallet. Maybe someday.

 

thanks for the advice, SEA is southeast asia and COD is cash on delivery, I just dont have paypal or mastercard so I have to rely in using actual money in paying my orders  . I'll maybe just get three KO carbots at the prize of mista instead haha

 

Yeah I agree. And to be honest, I never really cared for his design all that much.

 

This has me highly tempted, but I've got other costs I'm paying off now...

 

Can't you do monthly payments with PayPal?

 

Yeah, but I'm already paying off a couple other loans. I was debt free for several years before these two loans and I'd like to get back.

 

I’m thinking about getting rid of mine if anyone is interested. In good shape just don’t like transforming it, and clearing out some space.

 

I'm interested!

 

I love mine to bits.. he is everything a MPM Soundwave should be.. But.. am I the only one that wants separate discbrakes/ calipers? They should not be connected to the (not to mention incorrect) wheels..
I get my 3D printer next week and that will be the first thing ill fix on my Soundwave.

 

I'm with you on this.

 

I am already having fun in a 3d program, I will make the wheels the exact size of the curent ones so I can reuse the curent tires..with a disccaliper brake combo behind them(one solid piece)
brakes will be 16mm, wheels 20mm. and ill print them once my printer comes in ;-)
maybe I should do a tread on them.

 

I'm interested in seeing your final results.
